Are there any types of Paw Paw that can be planted in a container? I am new to this type of gardening, and recently found out that I can grow a fig tree this way (yay!). I would love a Paw Paw, but it would have to be in a container. Thanks!

PawPaws have taproots which I would think would prevent container growing (unless your container was Very Very deep) I've read that pawpaws put down a taproot 6-10" before they even break the surface to develop leaves (which I find hard to believe, but who knows...) ~Chills |

Paw Paw seedlings can indeed put down roots that long before they put anything above ground. I've grown seedlings in pots for 2 years, but have never tried to grow them in a really large pot. I don't think the taproot would be the problem, they really don't have to have a big taproot. However, there are no dwarf pawpaws to my knowledge. They usually get to be six feet or more before they start flowering. Also you'd need two for pollination. It might be fun to try if you're patient and have some big pots. |
Thanks so much for the help! What I am concerned about is the fall/winter care of these trees. I have heard that they need to be "buried" during the cold months. That is why I thought of trying them in a container. Are there any varieties that you can just leave in the ground with no special care during the winter? Cheryl |

Cheryl, I have read that pawpaws are hardy down to -25 degrees/USDA Zone 5. I've never heard of anybody "burying" them during the winter to protect them from the cold. (Maybe folks do that in the far, far north.) So if you're able to put plants in the ground I think you should just do so, and drop the idea of planting them in containers. If you had no choice (e.g. if you had a balcony garden) growing containerized plants might be an interesting experiment. But, as others have pointed out, pawpaws are not ideally suited to containter culture -- so don't do it if you can avoid it. I suggest you look at the Kentucky State University pawpaw information site, if you haven't already. There's loads of great inforation there on pawpaw cultural requirements. |
Wow, I really thought they had to be buried to protect them. I remember reading this years ago, and figured I couldn't grow them. This is awesome! I haven't read alot of the Ky site yet, but definitely will. Any suggestions as to what type of tree I should get for my zone? Oh wait, I will need 2 right? Oh, and I do have a back yard, though it's somewhat small and already has a large maple tree in the center. But I have a space for a Paw Paw and the peach that I will be planting. Have to have a Peach tree! Had one at my previous house. Store bought peaches are terrible (unless you pay the price for tree-ripened and even then there is no comparison to growing your own! :) Thanks for all the help. I am so excited! Cheryl |

I have no argument on the peaches -- store-bought peaches are picked too soon and *are* terrible. By the way, save your sunniest, best spot for the peach tree. Pawpaws are able to tolerate some shade. As for which cultivar(s) to purchase for your climate zone: I'm not an expert here, but I know that there has been some debate on whether given pawpaw cultivars are best adapted to certain zones. I'm not sure that there's any consensus on whether specific cultivars are most suited to discrete regions of the country. However, since it is at least an open question, the KSU pawpaw information site has an extensive list of cultivars that includes information on where the cultivars originated. So you might be able to identify cultivars originated in Indiana rather than, say, Kentucky. The one problem is that finding a commercial source for some of the more obscure cultivars may take some effort. The KSU site has a list of nurseries that you could call. My feeling here is that you probably shouldn't worry too much about this, but others who know more about pawpaws may have better informed opinions. You might want to post a question on this point on the "Fruit and Orchards" forum -- there are some folks who post there who know a lot more about pawpaws than I do. |
Thank you. I will make another post and hopefully get time this evening to do more reading at the Ky site. Cheryl |

I grow pawpaws in 25 gallon containers on a patio and eat fruit. Eventually they will need to go in the ground or a 50 gallon container. The top of the pawpaw is fully hardy. The roots don't like freezing solid (nursery stock gets shallowly buried for winter in colder climates to prevent this). My big pots take high teens alright with no apparent damage, but I would bury them in leaves if we were to have a long and very cold spell. |

visit the bonsai forum. i posted this same question there, and got many good suggestions. i ahve yet to try it, though. |

I have a paw paw growing in a 20 inch very deep pot in Sacramento, California. It's on my deck, partially shaded from the hot summer sun. It is deciduous, but comes back beautifully every year. It's a gorgeous tree. They do not like a lot of hot sun. No room to put it in my garden so it may never grow fruit. |
Here's what i found on google about paw paws - a little plant humor about half way down about pollination and 'unenthusiastic species' - I think someone was having a bit of fun while writing .... |
Here is a link that might be useful: California Rare Fruit Growers, Inc.

Pawpaw do have a long root that will not do well in the container. however I've seen a potted pawpaw that did set one fruit. There are dwarf pawpaw in the wild also known as the dwarf flowering pawpaw. These dwarf pawpaw get to about 6 ft in the wild. I got one that I'll be evaluating. I will be grafting a large fruiting pawpaw into the dwarf pawpaw. Wondering how it will do. Bass |

Show Overview
Directed by David O'Connor
For centuries, Romeo and Juliet has been the love story by which all others are measured. It is as fresh today as it was 450 years ago. In this iconic romance, Shakespeare captured for eternity what it means to find love, fight for and sacrifice for it, then to ultimately determine what love is for ourselves, not as prescribed by other's outmoded and fossilized notions. Our production breathes new life into this always-relevant, always-contemporary tale. The Shakespeare in the World Lecture / Performance Series and Romeo and Juliet are made possible by the generosity of The Alter Family Foundation.

HI there , I grow Japanese Anemones. Actually I have started to collect them.What would you like to know? |
wwhyte---How tall do they get? Are they branching or single stem plants? Do they want/need shade or sun? Do they need feeding regularly? Well drained soil? Drought tolerant or not? Minimum temps tolerated? Any other info you might find useful. Thanks. From pictures I have seen they look beautiful. |
- Posted by greenelbows z9--so LA (My Page) on Tue, Jul 13, 04 at 20:40
My impression is they don't tolerate our high winter temperatures very well. I have had some for hmmm--can't remember how many years now, at least five or six, and they never do much of anything. They're quite hardy, and I've heard can be even a bit invasive in climates they really like, but they sure aren't for me! There's a leaf here, and a leaf there, and they look healthy enough, but I never get those gorgeous fall flowers. Shade growers I think, as are most anemones. I love anemones of every kind I've ever seen but haven't found any that really do well here. Certainly can't pretend to be much of an expert, except in trying ones that want more winter chill apparently. |

Well I tried them only once and they never even came up at all ,I figured they don't do well here either! |

Are You Feeling Anxious?
American Health Care Is Top-Notch
In many ways, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is an enigma. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americans suffer from CFS. But we have no idea what causes it, no reliable tests to diagnose it, no cures or effective treatments, and much opinion to fuel controversy about it. One recent hot topic is whether a blood test for a type of retrovirus shows promise as CFS's first concrete diagnostic tool. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say not so fast.
According to the CDC, CFS is a debilitating and complex disorder characterized by profound fatigue that's not improved by bed rest and that may be worsened by physical or mental activity. Patients report various symptoms, including weakness, muscle pain, impaired memory and/ or mental concentration, insomnia, and post-exertional fatigue lasting more than 24 hours. Symptoms can last for years.
Because there's no reliable diagnostic test, it's important that physicians not overlook other potentially treatable illnesses that can cause incapacitating fatigue, such as endocrine disorders, autoimmune diseases, infections, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
Recently, a retrovirus was discovered in some CFS patients, leading to speculation that it could be the cause of the disease. Known as XMRV, the virus was found in two-thirds of CFS patients and 4% of healthy people, as reported in the journal
in 2009. The finding initiated a controversy that still rages on today.
XMRV was first identified in 2006 in patients with prostate cancer. Following the article in
, a federal working group convened in 2009 to determine the potential risk of XMRV to the blood supply.
In April 2010, Canada, New Zealand and Australia banned blood donations from persons with CFS out of concern for the possible transmission of XMRV. Later that same year, the American Association of Blood Banks stepped forward with a recommendation that people with CFS shouldn't donate blood.
What happened next surprised everyone. The CDC announced that it couldn't find the virus in people with CFS or in healthy people. However, the next month scientists from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Harvard Medical School published a paper linking CFS to a family of retroviruses to which XMRV belongs.
In September of 2010, the NIH launched a study to test if XMRV or related viruses could be linked to CFS. Immediately, the American Red Cross banned donations from people with a diagnosis of CFS, whether or not the virus has been detected.
Needless to say, CFS patients and their families are understandably confused. Some are even accusing the medical establishment of hiding the truth to fuel the idea that CFS is a psychological problem, not a disease. One can appreciate their frustration.
But research into whether CFS is linked to a retrovirus and how this virus might be transmitted are legitimate medical questions whose resolution cannot be rushed. Top labs and teams have found different results. So the jury is still out.
In the meantime, I recommend that people with a diagnosis of CFS avoid donating blood until the controversy is resolved. If you think you may have CFS, see your doctor to rule out other treatable illnesses that may mimic CFS symptoms.
Stay tuned.

Depression Differences in Men and Women
Each year, 15 million Americans experience severe depression. It's more common in women: About 20% of women will have a depressive episode in their lifetime, compared to 13% of men. And women's symptoms of depression may be different than male symptoms.

Are You a Cyberchondriac?
It was inevitable. Once individuals had access to medical information on the Web, they'd start to self-diagnosis. It's easy! Just type your symptom in a search engine and see which diseases pop up. Sort of like a medical slot machine – insert the headache coin and up comes everything from tension headaches to brain tumors. For those who are a little paranoid, simple diagnoses are more likely to be dismissed in favor of complex and deadly options. All of a sudden, common symptoms lead to grim diagnoses.

American Health Care Is Top-Notch
Americans enjoy extraordinary medical care – this often gets lost in all the health care reform debate. Sure, we spend a lot of money on health care. In fact, we invest more than 80%of the world's research and development budget in pharmaceutical and medical devices. And we spend 17%of GDP on medical care. But the returns – both in high-paying jobs for hundreds of thousands of American workers and in medical breakthroughs – are the envy of the world.

Chapter Seven: "Uh yup, you're buying that, no questions asked."
Day 1: November 29th, 2012 After we de-boarded our lovely boat, we wanted to head back over towards Haunted Mansion Holiday, as we really wanted to ride it at night! We tried walking over behind Big Thunder Mountain and past the Big Thunder Jamboree area, but some guys walked towards us saying that it was closed/roped off. Welp, we turned around at this point, but I didnt mind taking some photos along the way. The only way for us to get back towards the main hub and over to New Orleans Square was to go through Fantasyland, to Tomorrowland, then hook around over through the Main Street area. Basically, it was a super long walk. But we didnt mind, especially since these were areas we hadnt been through yet! As we walked over, I stopped by Finding Nemo and snapped a few photos because it just looked so pretty at night! Also, every so often, youd hear the infamous, MINE! MINE! MINE! We also noticed another popcorn stand and a little puppet Rocketeer was turning the popcorn! Id remembered hearing that every popcorn stand in the park had a different puppet turning the popcorn maker, but Matt especially loved this one because The Rocketeer is one of his favorite movies. We were excited to spend more time in Tomorrowland the following day, especially seeing Space Mountain in the distance, but we had other plans for tonight! On our way through Tomorrowland, we thought itd be fun to at least stop by Star Traders and do a little shopping because you know we just LOVE to get our Disney shopping in! Star Traders had TONS of awesome merchandise, especially a lot of great Star Wars stuff. They also had a large amount of Jack Skellington/Nightmare Before Christmas stuff. Out of the corner of his eye, Matt spotted a hoodie that he immediately liked. Matt usually has a hard time finding Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise that hell actually wear. A lot of it is just kind of overdone or too Ed Hardy-esque for him. But this hoodie was seriously PERFECT. He loves plaid and it wasnt overly flashy. I told him he definitely had to buy it because it was the first thing Id seen EVER in the parks that was NBC-related that he actually liked. He agreed and decided to buy it for himself. After we paid (and used our awesome 20% off AP discount), we headed back out and over towards the main hub. As we walked from Tomorrowland, this was when I actually first saw the castle completely lit up with the icicle lights and all. I was most definitely taken aback by how BEAUTIFUL it was! It was everything I always dreamed of it being, seeing that castle completely lit up for Christmas. After a few minutes of ooh and aahing at the castle, we continued on our way over towards New Orleans Square. We knew we needed to see Haunted Mansion Holiday all lit up at night!! You can see it below in the first photo that again, there was no wait. It was awesome to be able to just walk on up to it! And guys, this is SO cool at night. Okay, so, AGAIN, if you dont want to be spoiled on something REALLY cool for this ride, you should just skip the next part, because Im about to post a really awesome photo/describe something amazing to you. BUT I totally understand if you want to save it for a future trip to Disneyland if you want to be surprised, too! So stop reading this now, and click on the link below for the next update! Continue in next post Okay, for those of you who dont mind being spoiled or have been on the ride, I wanted to show you a photo I caught during the stretching room scene that I didnt mention earlier. So, after the room stretches, you know how normally our Ghost Host mentions that there are no windows or doors, and you can always take his way out, and then you look up and see the hanging body? Well, this is also changed during the overlay. Instead, when you look up, all of a sudden the lights flash and you see this: Yes, a MASSIVE Jack Skellington face, where he wishes everyone a Happy Holiday! The first time I saw this earlier in the day, THAT was most-definitely a jaw-dropping moment. I just had no idea about it so I pretty much thought it was the coolest thing ever. I got a few other shots, and also just tried to enjoy the ride and spot new things I hadnt noticed before. Next update, we go on the hunt for some dinner at a familiar spot, do more exploring/shopping, and call it a night! Continued in next post

Chapter Eight: "Okay, where the HECK is this place?!"
Day 1: November 29th, 2012 After we got off of Haunted Mansion Holiday, it was around 7:50pm and the park was closing in 10 minutes. We wanted to get out of the park before all of the crowds did, especially since we were planning on seeing Believe in Holiday Magic the next night. On our way out we caught a few of the fireworks but both noted that you couldnt see much due to the clouds from the rainy weather. Seeing that it was only 8 oclock, we were both pretty hungry AND we were in the mood for shopping, it only made sense for us to head on over to Downtown Disney! We knew exactly where we wanted to get dinner, but also had no clue where it was in Downtown Disney. Disneylands DTD is somewhat similar to WDWs, in that there is a World of Disney, D-Street, Lego Store, and a few other familiar stores, but I don't know, it's definitely different, too! Like, in WDWs DTD, you have a lot of Disney-centric stores over in the Marketplace area, and then less Disney as you get towards the West side where the House of Blues are, etc. In DL it's more just all mixed together. As soon as we walked in, we figured because World of Disney was RIGHT in front of us, wed go in there first before we got dinner. The World of Disney has a way different layout, so that threw us off in trying to find the plush animals/pillow pet section. We finally found it in the last room of World of Disney, and I pointed out the Stitch pillow pet that Matt has basically wanted forever. Hed been talking about it since he first heard about it earlier this year, and when we finally found it, the boy actually questioned whether or not he should buy it! Hahaha, I was like, WE ARE BUYING IT, NO QUESTIONS ASKED! I think he felt kind of guilty because I hadnt bought a ton for myself, but I reminded him that I would find something later and not to even worry about it! After Matt bought Stitch, we left and went on a hunt for dinner. We seriously walked for what seemed to be an eternity (at this point I thought we were about to end up in Hong Kongs Disneyland resort) before we FINALLY spotted this sign. Bad photo, I know, buuuut... YUP, of COURSE we were headed for Earl of Sandwich! When I heard they were opening one in Disneylands DTD in the fall of 2012, I was super excited to eat there just because I loved it so much during our last trip to Disney World. The line wasnt bad at all, and soon enough we ordered our food. Matt ordered The Original and I ordered the Cannonballs, then I grabbed a side of potato salad, Matt got macaroni salad, and we both decided to get bread pudding. There is way more seating outside than inside, so Matt grabbed us a table and I waited for our sandwiches. They made those things darn quickly, and before I knew it we were both sitting and opening our sandwiches. I remember we were both pretty burnt out at this point, both from just having a long day and also being so hungry! Also, the seating area is kind of in the dark and under this tent (and heating lamps, DARN THOSE LAMPS!) so between that and me being hungry, I was a bad DISer and only got this super lame photo of my sandwich on my iPhone. That being said, IT WAS SO GOOD. Earl of Sandwich just never disappoints! Between getting some food in my stomach and just resting my feet for a few minutes, I was pretty happy. The only bad part were the heat lamps above us. I mean, I get Californians are used to much warmer weather, but I was not finding those heat lamps necessary because it was still humid out. Yuck. We finally finished our dinner, and both ended up saving our bread pudding for later since we were super full from our dinner. On our walk back, we decided to stop by D-Street so I could look and see what Vinylmation they had for sale. I was elated to find that they had these AMAZING Toy Story ones Id wanted forever! Originally, they were only released in Japan, so getting them sent here would have been way expensive. Yes, they are basically Andys drawn version of all of some of our favorite Toy Story characters! How freakin adorable are they?! Im just glad Disney made the awesome decision to sell them in Disney parks a few months later! Again, I was happy to use my awesome AP discount, and we headed out and back to our room. When we got back, I realized there was going to be no way for me to continue wearing my blue Chucks, just made on the fact that they offer NO arch support. I love them for during my work week but not for when Im walking a lot! But before I worried about the sneaker situation, I pretty much bee-lined it for the bathroom, turning on the water for the Jacuzzi tub so I could give my feet some relief! That thing reallllly saved my poor feet. Its funny, because Matt tends to have more back pain than anything else, while I struggle with foot pain and blisters. After a nice long bath and quick shower, I tried on my new long-sleeve Disneyland shirt Id just picked up at the Emporium, and then made the smart decision to blow dry my sneakers! Hahaha I took photos because of how ridiculous it looked, but it ended up being a super good idea! While Matt took a bath, I worked on my sneakers, and then when he came out he ended up working on his. After blow-drying our sneakers, I got into bed and typed up all of my TR notes for our first day! I think Matt ate his bread pudding and said it was just okay. I decided to save mine for the following morning to eat as a quick breakfast. Anyway, we headed to bed at around 11, as we planned to be up at 7am the next morning to make it to Disneyland for rope drop. Next update, we do rope drop for the first time and experience what is known as the, um, Candy Cane Dash. Continued in next post

My Mom is in love with the Stitch pillow pet, so it's currently sitting under our tree for her gift!
I also have issues with blisters...on the bottom of my feet. It's the worst! I have to rotate shoes when we're at the parks and I have two pairs of flip flops that don't give me blisters. I don't know what I'm going to do when it's cold at the parks! When we moved into our house, my parents got us one of those heaters for our patio as a house warming gift. My parents are borderline ridiculous, so it's a funny gift. But I'm sure as we become more and more Floridian, we'll love it!

The Finding Nemo sub/thing/area looks cool!
I NEED a Disney pillow pet. Ack, they're all so cute! Love the Stitch one. I've never had Earl of Sandwich before but man, even your 'super lame phone' picture makes it look good! Yum yum.

What lens did you use for most of your photos? A 50?
I sympathize with your feet. I am about your size and while I'm fairly active, I can't say I walk 10 miles a day like we did at DLR. I brought my New Balance walking shoes (I do my 5K walks in them) and TOMS. I switched back and forth. My ankles hurt horribly in the NBs and my arches/bottoms of my feet killed me in the TOMS. I couldn't win. DH wore Chucks every day. I would get home and fill up bags of ice and wrap my feet with them both during our mid-day breaks and at night when we would get home. Maybe when I lose 100lbs... |

Ugh, blisters are my worst enemy. Matt thinks I have weird feet or something because he rarely gets them in Disney! I bought new New Balance sneakers which seems like they'll be good for the parks, and then hopefully I'll find a good pair of either Tevas or something else for when I want to wear something that can handle water. Haha, I could see that heater being really nice for when it's cold out but you want to sit outside! I just wasn't a fan of it when it was so humid outside. Quote:
Yeah, I have Eeyore and I really love him. They're super soft and comfortable. It's hard to not want to buy another one, hahaha. You need to eat at EoS at some point! It's just so good. I'm sure we'll go there at least once during our next trip! Quote:
OMG I totally hear you! I actually just bought a brand new pair of New Balance sneakers for our trip, and I'm starting to break them in. I own 3 pairs of TOMs but could never wear them all day in Disney! I know the bottoms of my feet would hurt like crazy, plus my feet always get hot in them so I'm fairly certain I'd develop terrible blisters... kind of like I did in NYC when I got lost trying to find our office and I was wearing TOMs. I'm thinking about trying on Tevas so I have something that I can walk around in but that's breathable. I'm sure if I lost weight my feet wouldn't get so sore, so I just need to continue the weight loss! I do know because of all my ankle sprains from playing basketball and softball, that my feet are pretty much forever messed up, but I'm sure it'd help. I'm glad!! I'm planning on having longer updates because I REALLY want to have this TR done before we leave for Disney World in 3 weeks! Buuuut we'll see, that's kind of an ambitious goal. Oh you should so go back! I just really loved it! I can't wait to go again!

Chapter Nine: Oh my God, are they really RUNNING?!
Day 2: November 30th, 2012 I woke up to Matts alarm going off at 7am, and Im not going to lie while I was excited for another day in the parks, I had a really hard time getting myself out of bed! I think the exhaustion from the previous day had settled in, but as soon as I recognized where I was, I got up and got going pretty quickly! I ate my leftover bread pudding, after warming it up a little in the microwave. It was pretty mediocre, but at least it was something to eat! I put on my sneakers and they were still a little damp, but the blow dryer definitely helped! We were out of our room by 7:25, and headed over to the Main Gate of Disneyland. We arrived at around 7:35ish, to some lines but nothing too awful! In Disneyland, they dont open the gates until around maybe 5-10 minutes before park opening, and there is no opening show like Magic Kingdom. Our plan was to head over to the Candy Palace so we could get in line for the infamous Candy Canes. Jen, AKA Nermel9, had tweeted to me about these amazing candy canes that they make in the park, and they were featured on Food Network, etc. They make them fresh in like 3 batches, but only make 120 per day, so its not super easy to get your hands on them. After her heads up, I read up about them on the Disney Food Blog and thought itd be awesome to get a couple! The other thing I read about them, though, was that people would literally RUN DOWN MAIN STREET to get in line for them. Um, RUN? That must be a joke. Who the heck runs for candy canes? Anyway, as soon as the gates opened, I saw about 3-4 middle-aged women get through the gates and yes, they RAN. I knew they were running for the candy canes. Hahahaha Matt and I looked one another and were kind of bewildered because we had no clue that people really were going to RUN for them. We chose the non-running path and just walked briskly. There really was no reason to run; we got into line and were probably around 30 people back. We stood in line and found out that they way they do it is they give out wristbands that tell you what batch number you are and when you can come back to get them. If you dont come back before 4, they will sell yours to someone else. We waited for a little while, and I decided to just take photos while we stood around. We werent too worried about it, and finally the line began to move as they gave out wristbands. We ended up being part of the first batch, so we were told we could come back after 9:30. I was a little worried as tons of people went past us while wed been waiting in line for our candy canes. But honestly as we started to walk past Main Street towards Tomorrowland, we werent too worried about crowds at that point. We decided our first thing to do was either ride Space Mountain or just grab some Fast Passes. With the wait being a whopping 10 minutes, we actually decided to go with FPs so we could go on a few other rides before they got crowded. We headed out of Tomorrowland, and clearly the crowds were just INSANE. Matt had expressed interest in going on the Matterhorn, and after Id read up on the new sleds, I wasnt sure I wanted to go on it because Id heard of people saying they were extremely uncomfortable. We walked over anyway and I told Matt I was more than happy to let him go on, while I took some photos and held onto our backpack. So off Matt went! It was kind of weird to not be going on a ride with him, just because I dont think Id EVER gone on anything by myself before on our trips! Off he went, and I waited for his bobsled to come around the corner As you can see, the bobsleds are definitely cramped, but Matt had a smile on his face so I was guessing it wasnt too awful. He got off and told me I HAD to ride it, that hed hold onto our backpack and take photos while I went on. Considering its a Disneyland classic, I decided to just go for it. If he is 65 and can ride it, I can ride it at 59! Oh mind, you there was literally no wait for either of us. As youll see in the photos below, the same family that rode with Matt rode in front of me. No one was in the area to ride it! Anyway, while the bobsled is definitely not roomy for your legs, its really not bad at all. It is VERY similar to Space Mountain Disney World in terms of the way you are seated, so maybe because I was used to that, this totally didnt bother me much. If youre like me and youre not tiny, I suggest pulling the seatbelt out before you actually sit down so you have a much easier time buckling it in. Funny enough, I went on the opposite track than Matt had just gone on, and it was actually pretty fun! Well I mean, I just thought it was really neat to see something that had so much history, you know? I think Matts description of the ride was best: Its like a somewhat cheesy 60s pre-cursor to a lot of Disney Imagineering, especially Expedition Everest. That being said, its definitely a must-do if you go to Disneyland, but I also wouldnt say its something you have to ride repeatedly, either. We both were very happy we got to ride it during our trip, new bobsleds and all! Ive heard one side is smoother than the other, and I believe its the Tomorrowland side. Its definitely jerky but I wouldnt say its any jerkier than Space Mountain Disney World! (Keep reading below!) Continued in next post

Chapter Ten: Okay dude, enough of the enthusiastic clapping&
Day 2: November 30th, 2012 After we left the Matterhorn, we decided to go on all of the classic Fantasyland rides that you cant find in Disney World. Our first stop was Mr. Toads Wild Ride! I have to be honest, this ride would have scared the bejesus out of me as a kid. I mean, seriously, its kind of like a little nightmare youd have as a kid! That being said, I still really enjoyed it and loved seeing this ride, which was replaced in Disney World by Winnie the Pooh. All of the classic dark rides are very close to each other, so we walked a short distance and hopped on Snow Whites Scary Adventure. Id been on this in Disney World, and because it no longer exists there, we felt we had to go on it in Disneyland just because. I still think its terrifying when the Evil Queen turns around and her face changes, for real! After SWSA, we hit up Pinocchio aaaand yup, again, pretty creepy for a little kid to go on. I think it was at that moment I realized how many classic Disney movies have some seriously crazy stuff going on in them that can really scare a little kid! Im pretty sure we tried to go on Alice in Wonderland but it was closed, so we figured wed come back later to ride it. We headed out of Fantasyland over towards Frontierland, and I made us stop near Big Thunder Ranch to get a photo near the sleigh! Unfortunately it was super wet so I was not hopping in that thing. We noticed there was NO line at all for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. We obviously decided to go on it, especially without a line! It also dawned on both of us that we hadnt been on BTMRR in nearly 2 years because it was closed in Disney World last January! We had a lot of fun on it, and opted to sit in our own cars because there was seriously no one on it and then I could take more photos/video. Matt pointed out the turtles to me and I got very excited. I basically LOVE turtles! Its fairly similar to WDWs version, but is in need of some TLC for sure! I believe they are closing it in January for a fairly long time, so Im glad we got to ride it with no line! I do remember that on this ride, there was a man clapping his hands over and over again; evidently he was VERY excited to be riding for a second time in a row or something, hahaha. He seriously clapped the entire time we were on it, so I was kind of glad to be exiting the ride. After we got off, we were both starving. That bread pudding wasnt really cutting it for me, and I think Matts Pop Tart hed eaten wasnt doing the job either, so we decided to look for some place to get food! We spotted a few people sitting outside of the River Belle Terrace, so we decided to see what they had for food. Matt went with a coffee and pancakes, bacon and eggs, and the bacon didnt actually look horrible! I decided to go with chocolate milk and the infamous Mickey Mouse pancakes, which were actually pretty adorable. And yes, Im clearly 5 years old. As we went to pay, the CM at the register complimented my Minnie headband/bow and asked where Id bought it, or if I made it. I told her I made it and she wanted to know how, hahaha. It made me happy that someone enjoyed my bow enough to want their very own! We sat down and ate our food and it was actually pretty good! Well I mean, I was just happy to be eating actual food at this moment. Though I did feel slightly guilty to be eating the super cute Mickey pancake& but he was delicious. After we finished eating, I looked at my watch to see that it was only 9:15. We had done a LOT in an hour and 15 minutes, seriously! Next update, we do some exploring, experience Space Mountain for the first time, and meet a character Ive been looking forward to the most! Continued in next post

You are an updating machine! Perfect for me, I like to just keep reading and reading! So will this new change about AP discounts effect (affect? sheesh.) you in 2013? I was thinking that the premium "golden ticket" would still get you your 20%, but I wasn't sure? I cannot believe how much you got done in and hour and 15 minutes! I was even perplexed when you ordered breakfast food after all that...I though it surely would have been lunchtime!!!

It still cracks me up that people get so serious over candy canes over there! I bet they were so good though!
The Matterhorn! Oh man, how I wish I could ride this! It looks like SO much fun! It's such a classic, ahhhhh. I need to go to Disneyland, it's really not funny anymore. You're so right, a lot of the classic Walt Disney films are pretty freakishly scary. I mean, the evil hag in Snow White alone gave me a nightmare once. You know the part where Snow White is like tending to her newly baked pie and suddenly she just APPEARS in the window? Scary stuff. And the whole Pinocchio Please Island turning bad little boys into donkeys thing? EEK!!! Haahah, I will never understand that, but still love it. Hope you got a chance to ride Alice! Your pancakes look YUMMY!

Your tr is making me desperately homesick to go back to DL...
So you got golden tickets for the infamous DL candycanes huh... I assume you will be showing photos later along...lol...? (I actually saw a Christmas at Disneyland Food Special Guy Fieri (he of Diners, Drive Ins and Dives) did and he showed them making those candy canes... people really do go wild for them ... so I'm curious to hear your review... I happen to fall into the camp that likes the Matterhorn... probs more for the Dis history of it as much as the ride... how cool would it have been to see Alpine Climbers scaling that thing? Love me some BTMRR... It was down in Florida when we went- we were there at the beginning of the month... (OMG... it feels like forever...) Wow IASW... fabulous... really lovely...

Bradley Central, Meigs, McMinn County and Polk County high schools will be joining WVHS in the all-girls flag football event.
The event will be held Oct. 18 at 5:45 p.m., at Walker Valley High School, with the first game starting at 6 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults in advance or $7 at the event and can be purchased at any participating school or at the Bradley Central vs. Walker Valley football game. Children 3 and up are $3, children under the age of 3 are free.
"This year we're something a little different. We're doing something called the Pink Ribbon Bowl Challenge, where the schools are actually competing for a trophy to see who can raise the most money outside the event," said Scott Webb, Pink Ribbon Bowl coordinator and WVHS media teacher. "We did get a $1,000 donation from Meigs County (High School) last year, which kind of inspired the challenge this year."
Walker Valley is making plans to have a pink-themed week before the event to raise funds. The school will be selling car decals of the school's WV symbol overlaid with the pink breast cancer ribbon overlaid on top of. A walk-a-thon and pep rally have also been discussed as possible ideas during this week.
"We're just trying to raise as much money as we possibly can for a good cause," Webb said.
Webb said organizers hope to raise $15,000 with the challenge and the event.
"Last year, we raised about $11,200," Webb said. "That is good for a one-night event."
Last year, money was only raised from ticket sales, program ads and selling food at the event.
With expansion of fundraising efforts, the school is also opening up display space to local organizations. Webb said local institutions of higher education, local businesses and health-related organizations were already planning to be present.
"We wanted to give the opportunity to make it more than just showing up and doing a flag football game," Webb said. "We wanted to include as many as people who wanted to be involved as possible."
This year the foundation will be offering a $1,000 scholarship to a qualifying student at each of the participating high schools.
"If the school doesn't have someone who qualifies, the money just goes to the foundation," Webb said.
Between the first two games a special speaker, probably a cancer survivor, will address the crowd. Webb said the foundation is handling picking a speaker for the event.
The event was originally inspired by former English teacher Gwen Lane's battle with cancer. She was a speaker at the event last year. There will also be a survivor walk around the football field. The WVHS marching band will perform in between the second and third games.
The size of a team varies from school to school.
"We'll have 40 to 50 girls on the team," Webb said.
He said the smaller schools will usually have 25 to 30 or more girls. Webb said he was still looking for a sixth school to participate.

"Free is all you gotta be,
Dream dreams no one else can see,
Sometimes ya wanna run away,
But ya never know what might be comin' round your way....
On a day like today, the whole world could change,
the sun's gonna shine, shine through the rain,
on a day like today
ya never wanna see the sun go down...." - Bryan Adams
I took a break last month because of previous commitments that I had engaged in prior to my column writing. I also chose to write a longer one this month because I've got a few things I wanted to talk about.. Go figure.
In January I was approached to go on a trip with what was to be about 40 people going on a bus excursion to Denver, Colorado. The main reason why the trip was happening was because of a certain UK DJ by the name of Sasha who I had sorely wanted to see. He was England's hottest DJ sensation and I didn't want to miss out on what could been the best 250 dollars I had ever spent. So in January plotting to go down I was. When February 25 finally came when I was to hop on the bus, which ended up becoming a mini van and 40 people became suddenly 7. Hey I was not to back out of what was going to become one of the best trips that I've taken.. I fought too hard for that time off.
So the 14 hour long trip was just that.. long. But it was a lot of fun along the way, even though we got carded for booze in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Albeit to me though I ended up outing myself in the van to almost everyone pretty much, which turned out to be good in it's favor anyhow. We arrived in Denver early Friday afternoon and checked into the hotel, in which I met who I was to be sharing a bed with. Upon first meeting him my first thoughts were "oh great. Another homophobic, straight boy who will kick me out of the bed upon first chance he gets." So I ended up avoiding him for the first part of Friday until we ended up all going to Boulder. Boulder was a good experience. It was there I met someone really cool, even though I was way too tired to make conversation. I also wandered around downtown within the Frat house district (eye candy), and finally we ended up being off back to the city and to get ready for Fab Fridays at a club downtown called the Amsterdam. But what was interesting is how the straight guy and I ended up getting along pretty well.
The Amsterdam was an excellent night out. One of the best clubs I have ever been too, which runs circles around Diva's here. As far as no labels clubs go, Fab Fridays was an excellent reminder of how the scene is based on P.L.U.R. And of course the shutterbug I am , I took a lot of pictures of the club. The place finally shut down about 5 in the morning, with us returning to the hotel about 6. I attempted to sleep, but with the cute straight guy lying on the other end of the bed, it was quite difficult.
Saturday was mostly shopping and surfing around downtown. The Denver Pavilion was excellent, with loads of shops including a Virgin Megastore as well as a Barnes & Noble.
Now before I continue on an interesting situation arose. Anyone ever have a guy that totally sticks out to them?? I mean one where you don't even know the guy but really want to because he just sticks out among the crowd?? My friends and I were walking in the downtown district when we were in the 16th street mall area. As we headed towards the Virgin Megastore at about oh noonish, I saw this really cute guy. he was about 6 feet, brown hair, (kind of like a mop top) and a light, boyish face. he also had a retainer/braces. Black pullover top and blue jeans and quite thin. Anyhow as we walked I remember scanning him and where his arm was attached to, which was his older looking boyfriend. I don't really remember if I had actually made eye contact with him or not, but out of all the cute man that walked down that street, he was by far the cutest. In my mind I looked back and thought to myself "you'll never see him again, don't bother."
I couldn't get the guy out of my head. That night, we all went to the Sasha/Jon Digweed party and partied along with 4000 people. It was shortly before then that the cute but what I thought was straight guy came out to me, and the event where I also met the cutest, sweetest candy raver girl I had ever met. She was surprised we had even come as far as we did and in the end I got a phone number out of it. The rave was excellent, and we ventured for a small afterparty into downtown Denver.
After the houseparty we went up to Boulder for an afterparty at a club called Soma when I decided to wander downtown. On my way to crossing the street to go over to Ambercrombie and Fitch, and as luck would have it, there he was by himself again. My heart leapt but again my mind hit me with the thoughts that I was "all the way from Canada" and I would never see him again etc. I returned to the club to find almost everyone sketched out beyond belief, and we all ventured back to the hotel. The night was spent recovering and mostly sleeping which I didn't get any of anyhow. Most of the night was spent thinking a bit.. thinking of going home.. back to Saskatchewan. Part of me didn't.. everything and everyone I had seen had made a profound effect on me. I didn't want to go home for awhile. I thought through the night and made a promise to myself that no matter what I would go back. I promised myself to return.
The way home was a long ride back. At least it felt long. I talked about the serious attraction I had for one of the DJ's and we also talked about spirituality, sexuality and other things. When we arrived in Regina that Tuesday morning, it was if Regina had livened up for a bit. Everything old was somewhat new again. There was a part of me regained and hadn't been recovered since my boyfriend had dumped me. It was a revitalization. It was of all things, a sign of hope. I'm glad I took this trip down there.. it was everything that I ever could have wanted.

Steep fines sought to keep 'idiots' from S. Side Irish Parade
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com October 31, 2012 2:07PM
Thousands line Western Avenue to watch the South Side Irish Parade last March. | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Times
Updated: December 2, 2012 2:09PM
After being "hijacked by idiots" who drank themselves silly, as the local alderman put it, the South Side Irish Parade made a family-oriented comeback last March. Ald. Matt O'Shea (19th) wants to make certain there's no going back to the bad old days. At Wednesday's City Council meeting, O'Shea introduced an ordinance that would throw the book at those caught drinking on the public way within 200 feet of a parade in progress. The minimum fine for adults would increase five-fold — from $100 to $500. The maximum fine would double — from $500 to $1,000. The alternative to the higher fines would be up to six months in jail. Adults who relieve themselves in public within 200 feet of a parade in progress would face similar fines and anywhere from five to 10 days behind bars. Minors caught drinking in the shadows of a parade would be slapped with $500 fines or required to perform 25 hours of community service. The proposed crackdown comes nearly eight months after the South Side Irish Parade made a triumphant return from a three-year hiatus caused by public drunkenness and arrests. The parade committee spent heavily to rid the parade of its seedier elements. Private security was hired to work with Chicago Police, set up checkpoints, confiscate liquor and enforce a "zero-tolerance policy" for open alcohol. Passengers were banned from bringing booze on Metra Rock Island trains. North Side bars were discouraged from chartering buses. Buses that did roll up were corralled into drop-off points. Leaflets were distributed to local residents outlining the new rules. A hotline, with text-messaging support, was available to neighbors to report problems. The result was a family-oriented event that celebrated Irish heritage in a way that resulted in only a handful of arrests hours after and blocks away from the parade. Why the crackdown after all of that success? "This started out back in 1979 as a wonderful community event and, at some point several years ago, it was hijacked from us. I don't want that to happen again. . .. What those idiots did to our community is not gonna be allowed," O'Shea said. "The message . . . [earlier this year] was sent through a very aggressive PR campaign. What I've been told in talking to law enforcement officials is, 'That was great. It was safe. [But] the idiots will come back next year or two years or three years from now.' Whatever I can do each year to try to keep them away, I'm gonna do. I don't want to ever relax." O'Shea argued that the existing fines were too low to serve as a deterrent. "We had an individual go to the bathroom in Aisle 2 at the local CVS. It was thrown out," he said. Joe Connelly, co-chair of the 2013 South Side Irish St. Patrick's Day Parade, said he worked with O'Shea to draft an ordinance that would "reinforce the values of a safe, family-friendly" parade. "It's one thing if you're gonna get a slap on the wrist. It's another thing to know, 'That beer just cost me $500.' It reinforces the values of the parade and the behaviors we will and won't tolerate," Connelly said. "We hope it'll make people think twice before bringing alcohol to the parade route and trying to have a drink while watching . . . The parade is for the families of the neighborhood. It's for children and grandparents. It's not about trying to create a Mardi Gras experience down Western Avenue."

Bob Conceived and directed by Anne Bogart Created and performed by Will Bond, Text adapted by Jocelyn Clark SITI Company, Bessie Schonberg Theatre at New York Live Arts Jan 19 to 29, 2012
New York, NY: Inspired by the work of avant-garde theatre director, Robert Wilson, Bob is a homage to a man whose career in the theatre pushed the boundaries of performance though movement and manipulation of space and time. Commissioned by the Wexner Center for the Arts at Ohio State University, after it premiered in February 1998, the show moved to New York in April 1998, where it garnered Obies for both Lighting and Sound Design. In honor of Wilson's 70th birthday in 2011, SITI brought the show back to the stage for a limited run at New York Live Arts.
Although I had heard much about the teaching of SITI Company, their summer intensive programs, and their workshops in Viewpoints and Suzuki training, I had not until now had the opportunity to see a SITI production. So when I realized that Bob was on during the week I was in New York, I leapt at the opportunity to get tickets. I loved the show and watching Bond's elegantly controlled performance gave me a visceral understanding of the creative process in a way that I could not get from merely reading about it.

Substantive Changes to Texts
One change that authors might want to make to their published work would be to add new or supplemental material, possibly because they wish to share data gleaned from new research, enhance their original presentation with graphics, or even explain an argument or train of thought more fully. Question #7 asked editors to consider whether this practice should be allowed.
Editors overwhelmingly rejected this possibility, though a few felt that that there could, conceivably, be reasons to permit such additions under exceptional circumstances. "This would occur only if there were a technical error for a file or image that represented the data," said one, while another remarked "The author(s) would have to have a REALLY good reason to make these changes," adding "I think this would be a headache to do."
In question 8, editors also rejected the idea of deleting or replacing existing text, and to an even higher degree (93.3%) than they did the addition of material. Only one journal indicated it would permit these changes, and even then only with errata. One reason for the stronger degree of rejection here, I think, has to do with a concern for editorial transparency. While adding material might alter some aspects of a document, none of the original content would be excised; it would still be available for readers to view. Deleting or replacing text, on the other hand, would remove content from the manuscript and might therefore be perceived as a more significant (and slightly suspicious) change.
Responses to question 9, regarding revisions to an article's central claims, arguments, and/or conclusions, were identical to those in question 8. As a group, the majority of journal editors indicated they would not allow authors to revise texts in ways that substantively affected or changed the original meanings. Even so, one respondent (in a comment added to question 10) suggested he had at least some openness to changes that significantly altered a text's claims and/or conclusions, saying "If there were a truly substantive revision, I would probably replace the original text with one labeled "version 2.0" or similar (with a revision date included)."
Finally, question 10 asked editors to provide a context and/or justifications for their earlier responses, identifying one or more reasons that informed their perspective – and consequent editorial policy – on post-publication revisions.
This question served multiple purposes: (1) it asked editors about general beliefs on the issue that could be correlated with responses to earlier questions in the survey, (2) it asked about their sense of responsibility to the discipline, to archival integrity, and to the journal itself, and (3) it asked whether digital journals should follow the practices of print journals or find ways to develop their own frameworks for publication and revision.
Four of the choices (#s 1, 8, 9, and 10 in the list) asked respondents about their general beliefs regarding edits to published manuscripts. Did they think that no edits should be allowed, that all edits should be allowed, that they should only be allowed in some situations, and/or that trivial edits could be made without documentation? Because these choices reflected perspectives that probably shaped many of the editors' responses to earlier questions, it was reassuring to see that the number of people who agreed with each of these statements roughly corresponded with the positions and numbers that were collected earlier in the survey (e.g., 6 people said here that no changes of any sort should be allowed, and the answers to questions 3-6 concerning even relatively minor text revisions showed, similarly, that 5-8 people would not allow them [2]). In the comments section, several editors elaborated on their positions in ways that were relevant to these four choices:
Any changes should be done by publishing an errata that can be linked to the original article. That way the integrity of the original publication remain intact, but appropriate corrections are added to the literature.
We should strive to have as correct a text as possible. In the event that there are typos (misspelled names) or factual errors (like dates), these things should be able to be corrected for accuracy's sake. I am less supportive of changing the fundamental meaning of a published manuscript, but I have learned to never say never. There may be some instances in which such changes are warranted, but they should be documented as changes from the original.
We make changes to minor errors as human labor/resources allow … The only "major" changes we've made after the fact in the last 10 years (that I can recall) is to pull a student's example when the student claims, 5 years after publication (googled themselves), not to have given permission for the piece. And, when we discovered post-pub that an author self-plagiarised by co-publishing a piece in two journals at once. We put a big note on that one after the fact, but we don't announce errata in the editor's column.
None of the editors participating in this survey was willing to agree with the position that "Knowledge-making is always a work in progress, so authors should be permitted to revise their published work in ways that reflect their current understandings," but one did note in a comment that,
In theory, the final reference to "knowledge-making" being a work in progress is quite true, and it would be great to have authors update their work. In practice, from an editorial standpoint, this could be a logistical nightmare. I think what it may call for is a type of interface, such as a blog/wikispace, where both authors and readers can dialogue about more recent scholarship, extending original ideas represented in the webtext, etc.
Relatively few editors, only two in each case, indicated that a sense of disciplinary obligation or anxiety about possible legal consequences played a significant role in their decisions to make (or not make) edits to published texts. An equally small number felt any concern about the effect post-publication edits would have on their journal's standing in the field. A slightly higher number (4) did feel that they had some responsibility as editors to safeguard archival integrity by documenting "any and all changes," but it would be unreasonable to conclude from this that the other twelve editors did not believe archival integrity was important. More likely, this is a consequence of my using the phrase "any and all" in the question, which prevented the seven editors who felt minor citation edits could be made without errata (question 5) from agreeing. One editor, however, did feel compelled to reflect on the potential dangers of historical revisionism in academic research, a concern that many other scholars may share:
Academic journals are not like Wikipedia. Preservation of the historical record in scholarly publication is important to the creation of new knowledge, because arguments and proofs are built on the research conducted by earlier scholars. If those publications can be revised, research that references that work becomes unreliable.
The fundamental tensions between print culture and digital culture are teased out in the positions articulated in choices 4 and 9:
Online journals should emulate the practices of print journals in regard to edits and revisions.
Online journals should develop new policies for textual edits and revisions that reflect the possibilities of the new medium.
As might be expected, the three editors who said online journals should follow the policies and practices of print journals were also in the group of respondents who said no edits of any sort should be allowed once an article has been published, and their individual responses to all of the other questions in the survey confirmed this conviction. Though I suspected, at first, that these answers had come from editors whose online journals had companion print publications, that proved not to be the case. Only one of the three journals existed both in print and online.
Nine of the editors (60%) indicated that online journals need to develop editing policies in keeping with the digital spaces they occupy, but none offered any specific suggestions or comments as to what those policies might be. Though there was clear resistance to the idea that online publishing should be held to (or confined by) the strictures of print technology, the specific direction(s) journal editors should follow to create and implement change – so far as this survey could reveal, at least – remain uncertain.
[2] The drop from 6 to 5 in some questions is likely due to their having been skipped by some respondents.

I love this lipgloss! The colour is so versatile, its a sheer ballet slipper pink with a light touch of shimmer. I love to apply this on top of a nude lipstick to give it a glossy finish. Beautiful colour, the texture is a bit sticky but it doesn't really bother me. The smell is discreet; the classic MAC lipgloss smell, warm vanilla. Love it, would definitely re-purchase!
I really like this ballet slipper colored pink gloss.It is not overpowering but perfect.I like to put it over my NIcki Minaj viva glam lipstick, because it sheers it out and makes it look, well, Luminary.I would reccommend this and for the product size and how it applies it is worth the 15 dollar price tag. I also like it because it is not sticky but will stay on your lips.
Adorable light pink gloss with shimmer! Not frosty or gritty, and it's sheer. Lately I have been on a pink MAC lipgloss kick and this one doesn't disappoint at all. I love it with my NW30 skin tone and it looks appropriate at any time. The one thing I don't like is the brush applicator, it seems more difficult to get an even swipe. But it's gloss so it doesn't have to be perfect. Not as sticky as other glosses but still a bit tacky - however I definitely don't mind. I would buy this again!
a shimmery pastel pink with gold pearl, great to pair with nude lipsticks or dark lipsticks. i think that lustreglasses has their own scents depending what color you choose, of course i think that they have their vanilla scent but with something else.
I love MAC's lustreglasses compared to their standard lipglass formula. I find them to be less sticky and I also much prefer the brush wand to the doe foot applicator. As with most lipglosses, I find myself having to reapply after an hour or two.
As for luminary, it's a great everyday sheer light pink gloss with fine silver microglitter. The glitter/shimmer effect is quite minimal on my medium pigmented lips especially as it is quite sheer which is why I docked it one lippie. However, it looks great over pink lipstick as it adds such a nice hint of shimmer.

I think my HG gloss, Creamsheen in Fashion Scoop will be discontinued.. so.. I saved it for more special days, and looked for something non-sticky/goopy to replace it for daily wear. :) First off, I like how the lustreglass glosses don't leave that yucky white film on the lips after an hour or so. The lipglass formula does, and unfortunately, I stopped using the beautiful Florabundance because of that reason! Luminary is an almost dirty/neutral/nude pink (sheer), with soft shimmer. I have pigmented lips, so when I wear it on its own, it really doesn't soften my color or do anything exciting.. but it looks fabulous on lipstick.. to give a pretty, creamy sheen. I wear it over my HG lipstick, Hue. Perfect match! I love the brush applicator (clear, plastic bristles) over the doe foot applicator because it feels, well, less... gooey! :-b And it allow for a better control so you don't overapply or cake the gloss on top of remnants of the last application. The scent is trademark MAC.. vanilla. Yummy. I recommend this if you're looking for something a little more special than a clear gloss, but not too pigmented that it wouldn't be versatile. I love the packaging of MAC glosses.. they're small and perfect to fit in even a tiny wrislet without taking up much space for other necessities. :)

Great product! I wear this shade everyday when I go out. If you are looking for a nude lipcolor then give this a try. I have pinkish-red lips and this lip gloss color makes my lips "softer" looking. Great for everyday =)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This gloss is a very shimmery pink color. I wear this both on top of a lipstick and on my bare lips. The only negative about this product is the applicator. It is a brush instead of a doe foot applicator.
I really love this lipgloss over basically any neutral lipstick and gives a wonderful nude look...a must if you like nude lips its great.
Plus the brush applicator is sooo much better than the doe-foot.

A quick recap of NAB2006
After several months of planning and preparation, the week-long flurry of activity of NAB2006 has already come and gone. Now the post-show discussion begins. Our June issue will have details of the products and services that were shown at the convention, but until then, here are some of the prevailing ideas and themes from the show.
Just as in previous years, the top item of interest was once again digital radio, and HD Radio was in the spotlight. There were some exhibits discussing DRM and a few mentions of FM Extra. There was nothing on Cam-D.
While the RF side of HD Radio is not necessarily new, the capabilities of multicasting and datacasting garnered lots of interest. While the big players are investigating the second and third phases of deployment, the smaller groups and stand-alone owners are finally taking notice of HD Radio. Several transmitter manufacturers told me that they were answering basic questions from groups that are now looking to get started.
The early adopters are already on board. Now the middle adopters are beginning to take note.
One absence on the convention floor was Ibiquity itself, which did not have a booth, although representatives from the company were making the rounds. Some people think that this was a poor choice from Ibiquity, but I disagree. While the out-of-site, out-of-mind mentality is easy to apply, it's more important to keep a broad perspective in mind. What would Ibiquity have shown in its booth? More HD Radio receivers? Done that. Discuss the technology? Already heard that. Ibiquity was represented in the booths of transmitter manufacturers, antenna manufacturers and automation suppliers. Just like Fraunhofer and Coding Technologies didn't push MP3 and AAC Plus from a booth, neither does Ibiquity have to.
The second main discussion item can be described by the word co-opetition, the merging of the words cooperation and competition. When two companies compete for the same market segment it seems impossible that there could be some common ground for both players to work together on something that would be mutually beneficial, but that's exactly what happens. On further investigation, it can be seen that the competitive element between the two companies actually has some areas that do not overlap. With some coordination, the missing elements of one can be paired with the strengths of another to develop the competitive cooperation: co-opetition.
There were two prominent examples of this at the convention: Nautel and Continental working together to market their FM product lines in the United States and Canada, and Radio Systems and Axia providing Axia IP audio connectivity in the Radio Systems Millenium consoles.
Both efforts pair the strengths of the players. While in the short-term there may be some loss in a given aspect, the long-term will likely benefit both more. It also benefits radio broadcasters by providing additional choices and options.
This level of cooperation is something new, but there are examples of past efforts that paved the way. One came to pass about a year ago when Translantech Sound partnered with Broadcast Warehouse to work on audio processing. Others are less familiar, such as the small Harris console that was actually an Arrakis console on the inside.
We haven't seen the end of these partnerships yet.
The third popular topic wraps audio inside an IP package. IP Audio--also not the newest technology--seemed to be a part of many things. The three more popular forms of IP Audio, Ethersound, Cobranet and Axia, were in lots of exhibits. Even OMT had a display with Wheatstone's version. IP audio is making its way into our studios, and it's also being shown to be viable outside as well.
Distribution of audio via codecs from Comrex, Tieline, Musicam and Prodys showed that IP networks are a viable means of audio contribution. We have seen examples of this previously from Audio TX and Energy-Onix, but we are now on phase two of the technology.
Until the June issue arrives, you can also see the sights of NAB2006 in the Radio magazine Daily Photo Blog and news from the convention in the NAB Insider. Both are available at beradio.com.

And of particular interest to others further afield, JT.
I have fond memories of working with L&W back in the early '90s - they
imported some St.Helena (NZ) wines, and I spent a week or so in the UK with
them, "entertaining" during some of their well attended evening client
nights - we had a ball.
They were based in Colchester at the time - I was most honoured to be
invited to the annual dinner of "The Colchester Association for the
protection of property" (The Thieves Dinner??") - an affair which dates
back to 1783, IIRC.
As my good friend George Harrison once penned "All things must pass" - but
tis sad indeed.
