Quirky News
Man builds 70mph mobility scooter
A Lincolsnire plumber has built the fastest mobility scooter in the world - which whizzes along at an incredible 69mph.
Colin Furze, 31, spent nearly three months converting the machine which has a powerful 125cc motorbike engine hidden under the seat, five gears and twin exhausts.
The petrol-powered super scooter, which is British racing green, can almost reach the national speed limit and keep up with cars on the motorway.
It does 10 miles to the gallon and is nearly nine times faster than an average mobility scooter which glides along at just 8mph.
"It is quite scary when I'm driving it fast as the frame is pretty flimsy and designed for going along at slow speeds," said Colin, from Stamford.
"You can't take your eyes off the road when driving it as any rash steering decisions could make it flip over and the slightest dip or bump in the road makes it drift off course."
Colin decided to transform the scooter after he was given the machine by a friend.
He was determined to build the fastest mobility scooter in the world and applied to Guinness to set the record as there wasn't one already in place.
He was told his scooter would have to travel at least 61.4mph and still look like a commercial mobility scooter.
"You hear lots of people complain about scooters going really slowly around supermarkets and blocking the aisles so I thought it would be a laugh to make a really fast one," he said.

Reject Radio #107: Out of Focus
Features By Scott Beggs on September 14, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we talk with Shut Up Little Man! An Audio Misadventure director Matthew Bate, discuss the love letter Drive with director Nicolas Winding Refn, and talk intentionally bad filmmaking with The Worst Movie Ever! director Glenn Berggoetz. That's two movies with exclamation marks in the title. Can you get more excited than that? Download This Episode
Last weekend, a film called The Worst Movie Ever! (complete with an exclamation mark in the title) played two midnight showings at the Laemmle Sunset 5 in Los Angeles and made only $11. That means that one person attended only one of the screenings, which means that if the filmmaker's mother came out to support him, he wasn't there to hold her hand. It's difficult to say with certainty, but the whole thing seems fishy. If you were four-walling your own movie, wouldn't you want to be there? Wouldn't the actors and people who worked on the thing show up for support even if it meant paying for their own ticket? Is it just blind luck that advertising brought in only one person interested in seeing it (thus making it the lowest-grossing opening weekend ever)? For any other movie, these questions might not even pop up. When the infamous Zyzzyx Road scored $20 during its one-weekend-long domestic run, it became a humorous anecdote in movie history, but there was nothing suspicious about it. In that case, producer Leo Grillo only opened the film in order to fulfill a domestic run needed to sell it to foreign markets. In the case of the self-proclaimed The Worst Movie Ever!, writer/director/producer/star Glenn Berggoetz has clearly made a film so intentionally bad that a newsworthy, historically low weekend take can only benefit it. And it has.

A person chats on a phone, oblivious to the people crossing Chinatown's Canal Street. They echo a photo of the Beatles, looking down from the iTunes billboard, as they crossed Abbey Road for their album by that name.
By Joe Grimm
One of the newest ideas to bubble up in the effervescent New York City media market is a site with a tight focus and a wide reach.
OurChinatown, launched this spring, is an Asian American Journalists Association demonstration project.
The strategy for OurChinatown is to distribute news – and to let the community contribute – by smartphone. Phones are a next-up tool for journalism and are the technology of choice for some communities. They are everywhere in sight on the streets of Chinatown.
The vision is a low-cost, mobile news network where a reporting team writes, takes photos and videos, edits them and posts them on the fly with smartphones. It is envisioned that community members will be able to see where reporters are on a digital map, feed them information or post their own news updates and photos.
OurChinatown is intended to be in English and Chinese and to unite a dispersed multilingual community within a big city. The builders of this mobile-to-mobile site say they want to knit the community together with street-level beat reporting, something that many traditional news outlets have had to curtail because of budget cuts.
Paul Cheung, a director of the OurChinatown project, said that the website lets people access news by phone, tablet or computer. The long-range idea is to have news be in English and Chinese. The team has experimented with cross-language aggregation, bringing five top stories a day from Chinese-language publications into English. The same could happen from English to Chinese.
The project is one of three demonstration projects proposed by Dinah Eng, former director of AAJA's Executive Leadership Program. The McCormick and Ford foundations funded her ideas.
Project leaders are AP Global Interactive Editor Paul Cheung, freelance writer and editor Cindy del Rosario Tapan, and Jeff Yang, founding publisher of aMagazine and aOnline, and now Global VP of Iconoculture.
The top team and staff of contributors have many roots in New York's Chinatown. Cheung grew up in Chinatown. Yang worked there for several years. Most of the staff is Chinese-American. The range of media experience includes broadcast and cable TV, newspapers, magazines, online, graphics, writing, video, photography and music.
Jeff Yang leads a planning session with other members of the OurChinatown team.
Contributions by citizens are welcome.
The site carries five content channels: news, people, living, eat and sea & do, serving up timely and cultural events.
The website has spots for ads that it is hoped can sustain OurChinaown beyond the startup phase, which extends into August. Ads might also display just on phones. Cheung, however, said that the most powerful sustaining feature might not be the technology or the ads, but the community that OurChinatown was designed to serve.
Cheung said that the advisory board created for the project will likely want to see the OurChinatown continue to keep Chinatown connected.
Disclosure: Joe Grimm is co-director of The Living Textbook, an AAJA demonstration project, with middle-school students in Dearborn, Mich. He will write about that in a couple weeks.

Total Performance Rating
The TPR graph is a combination of all our benchmarks in which NVIDIA and AMD are on an even playing field.
The TPR number is a combination of:
3DMark 11, Heaven Benchmark V2, Resident Evil 5, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.2, Mafia 2 (PhysX Off), Lost Planet 2, Aliens vs. Predator, Street Fighter IV, Far Cry 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum (PhysX Off) and our four High Quality tests which include Mafia 2, Aliens vs. Predator, Street Fighter IV and Far Cry 2.
All of the benchmark results achieved are then combined into a single number. As this graph will grow over time and cards won't be re-tested, next to each model you'll find the driver version that was used when the card was benchmarked.
Overall we can see that this SLI setup performs very similar to the GTX 570 and older GTX 480. Compared to AMD options it's faster than the HD 6970, including some pre overclocked models.

Has anyone installed pietra grey ceasarstone and if so, do you have pictures. I am still debating countertops and am considering this one. Thanks so much. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have it installed on white cabinets and cherry cabinets. You can see a picture attached and for more go to my reveal for pics against white cabients/marble plus some closeups (plus get the link to my Photobucket from there). I have a mitered edged using a 2 cm slab. My island used nearly a full slab. BTW, I believe they spell it Piatra with an "a" unlike the true Italian word. |

Thank God for blessing me this year, so that I have enough grace to finish everything I should finish in 2013. Here is the list of what I did this year:
I didn't realize how much work I finished this year until I wrote it down. I am very proud of myself, especially since I worked hard to be a responsible student and to keep my 4.0 GPA even though I attended many extracurricular activities. I know that I can't complete so many tasks without support from the people around me. Therefore, I am very grateful for my dear God, family, friends, professors, and all the people who supported me and helped me. I'm truly blessed to have you all in my life. Thank you for your help in 2013!

This semester, I was a student intern at St. Louis Children's Hospital, which has been ranked by USNews as the 6th best children's hospital in the U.S. this year. What I did there was to follow the clinic lead, Ms. Haycraft. I attended different meetings, helped at community events, assisted with some health educational projects, and delivered health information to the patients and families. I really loved this experience even though it was not for school credit. I cherished every time I was in Children's Hospital because I feel that I've learned a lot from the clinic lead and other healthcare managers and leaders. During the past five months, from August to December, I've learned how to manage projects in a healthcare setting by considering different target audiences, what patients and families need, how to run a project for different meetings, and how to create good health educational materials. All of these tasks are related to my program—health communication.
I'm very thankful that St. Louis Children's hospital gave me the opportunity to be an intern and shadow with the clinic lead. To be honest, it was challenging to be a full time student and still go to the hospital in my free time, but I really think it was so worth it to do that. Therefore, I encourage other students to have an internship or volunteer experience during college. Good luck in your school life or extracurricular activities.

Can you believe that there is an event to eat frozen yogurt for FREE?
I participated in a "holiday preview" event to help FroYo, a frozen yogurt company, taste new holiday flavors, and then I got a whole cup of frozen yogurt for FREE after I ranked those flavors.
Here is the rule for the game:
Step 1. The clerk gave me a tasting card, and also gave me four small cups for "mystery flavor" frozen yogurt. I tasted them individually, and ranked them from 1-4. I called them mystery flavor, because this clerk didn't tell me what I ate.
Step 2. After I gave my ranked list to the clerk, the clerk told me the name of each mystery flavor. Then, I got a free cup to fill with the frozen yogurt I wanted from the holiday flavors. In addition, they also gave participants a "Buy one get one free" card to thank us for being tasters.
Step 3: On the next day, I received an email from FroYo telling me that the winning flavors are Mountain Mint Chocolate and Chocolate La Rouge. Apparently, chocolate is still the popular flavor for this holiday.
I like to be a taster because I like to taste new food, so this event was so much fun for me! If you don't fear tasting new flavors and are interested in tasting, they have this event every fall or winter season. Just google "FroYo Exclusive Holiday Preview," and you will have a chance to try the FREE frozen yogurt tasting also receive a free cup of frozen yogurt!

by MAKR
MAKR began in 2005 as designer Jason Gregory's side project but quickly grew into a more serious endeavor within two short years.

text: Lawrence General Hospital has completed a long range master plan with the goal to improve every facet of health care services we provide to you, your family and neighbors. We are driven by a single overriding goal – to make sure that you, your family, your friends and your neighbors have access to local, outstanding, effective, efficient care whenever the need arises. To better serve you, to expand surgical options and specialties locally, and to attract even more outstanding surgeons to our Merrimack Valley region, we will be undertaking one of the largest projects in our history - $75,000,000 in expansion and renovation projects, totaling nearly 68,000 square feet on the LGH main campus will occur over the next 3-5 years. Our master plan has identified major needs for facility and capital improvements, including but not limited to: new operating rooms/suites; the construction of a new, 42,250 square foot Surgical Building; the addition of private patient rooms; the complete renovation of major inpatient units including Russell 4 and Russell 5 and more. These improvements will allow us to become the top, not-for-profit regional medical center that we strive to be. We will also be opening Andover Medical Center (AMC) with our colleagues at Pentucket Medical. The 10,000 square foot LGH floor will feature services for women, including ob/gyn and women's imaging, and may include two of the only Tomosynthesis 3-D mammography imaging systems in the region. The new Tomosynthesis equipment at AMC will come to fruition via philanthropic support. We also hope to add two Tomo units on the Lawrence General main campus as well, again dependent on a successful fund raising campaign.A capital campaign raising well in excess of $10,000,000 will be necessary to bring all these local improvements to fruition. To learn more about the scope of these projects, or to have a confidential discussion about transformational giving needed to bring these dreams to fruition, please contact Nicholas Zaharias, Vice President of Philanthropy, or William Parkinson, Director of Development, at 978-683-4000, Ext. 2020.

Holidays don't get any more competitive than they do with laser cut gingerbread houses.
Most gingerbread kits come wrapped neatly with all the necessary pieces and instructions but the assembling of the actual structure can prove to be quite difficult. Family members of Madison, Wisconsin's Sector67 used a 150-watt laser cutter to fix this problem. By first creating a production file on Corel Draw, they sliced pieces out of large baked gingerbread so that all the pieces can fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. This eliminates the drying process when using traditional icing since the pieces provide support for each other.
Though these laser cut gingerbread houses contain beautiful and intricate architecture and exterior designs, whether it is edible after the laser passed through is slightly questionable.

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

Hello, I have a question and I appreciate any helpful feedback. I am located in Houston, TX. Does anyone know if it is legal to collect plant material from a highway or road right-of-way? I think that the land is owned by a public entity. I couldn't find any rules or regulations through any government entity prohibiting this. Obviously I would not be obstructing traffic or creating any kind of disturbance. |

- Posted by lisanti07028 z6NJ (My Page) on Wed, Jul 24, 13 at 22:36
My gut feeling is that it would be frowned on by the Powers That Be, even without messing up the traffic. A couple of seed pods? Probably ok. Digging something up? Probably not ok. You can find your local native plant society, which has almost certainly wrestled with the same question, and see what they think. |
It is my understanding that the land is still owned by the persons or company that owns the adjacent property. They have given a right of way, but the land is not "owned" by the local highway department. Therefore, it is better to ask permission if you can find someone to ask. I hate to see the roadsides cut so that nothing reseeds, and I have seen many valuable plants destroyed by chemicals as well. You will have to look into your own conscience about this as legally I think you cannot do it. However, in the last year, I have become a "criminal" and saved a couple of plants from destruction. I always criticized those who dug from the side of the road, but now I have seen too much damage to ignore rescue possibilities. Still, get permission if you can! |
It's a common urban legend that you can be fined or arrested for picking wildflowers along Texas highways. I think it must be something several generations of Lone Star parents have told their kids to keep them from plucking flowers when they stop to take the requisite family photos among the bluebonnets. Trespassing, violations for causing traffic hazards, and damage to public property from digging could still be problems. The DPS publishes an info sheet on how to stay safe and legal. Some endangered plants are also protected by the ESA. While technically legal to collect non-ESA plant material from Texas highways, "should you?" is still a question. The answer is clearly "no" for those who lack any consideration or common sense.... these are the sort of folks who thought little of pulling or trampling a north Texas farmer's sunflower crop when the location of the great photo op was spread via social media. Otherwise, let courtesy and common sense about preserving the native roadside rule. |

I agree that collecting plant material from the sides of roads is risky, because of the possibility of being hit by a car. I've seen plenty of videos of this on the news and youtube. |

Radiation therapy treats breast cancer by using high-energy rays to either kill cancer cells or stop them from multiplying, or to shrink tumors. It's important to take good care of yourself for the duration of treatment, so make sure to get enough rest, eat healthy, protect the skin of the treated area and go for regular blood work as prescribed by your doctor.
There are two types of radiation therapy: external and internal. Women can receive one type or both. External radiation therapy (sometimes referred to as "external beam radiation") involves a machine outside the body sending radiation to the cancer. Energy beams are aimed directly at the tumor site to kill cancer cells, while preserving healthy tissue.
Internal radiation therapy delivers radioactive material into or near the cancer site via needles, wires or catheters placed in the breast. This type of radiation is also known as brachytherapy.
Radiation therapy is used most commonly:
After a lumpectomy or mastectomy to reduce the risk of cancer recurring in the breast. It may be used alone, or in combination with chemotherapy and/or hormone therapy.
As the primary treatment for breast cancer in cases where the surgeon does not believe the tumor can be safely removed, if a woman's health prevents surgery, or if a woman chooses not to have surgery.
To treat breast cancer that has metastasized.
At the beginning of your treatment, a radiation therapist will map the treatment area by marking your skin with temporary, freckle-like tattoos. Please do not try to wash them off or retouch them. Your radiation therapist will remark the area as needed.
Once the marks are made and the equipment programmed, you will be escorted into the treatment room and positioned on a table under the radiation machine. Your radiation therapist will then leave the room and start treatment; however, you will be under observation and can communicate your therapist via intercom.
Radiation therapy is painless; the treatment machine doesn't touch you, and it lasts only a few minutes. Try to remain as calm as possible to avoid the need for repositioning.
In this type of radiation treatment, radioactive material is sealed in a metal seed, wire, needle or tube (called an implant), and placed in or near the cancer site. The implant is placed into your body typically at the time of surgery, or at another time using image guidance. Often a metal or plastic tube is used as an applicator and is held in place with stitches.
The Comprehensive Cancer Center offers patients the Axxent electronic brachytherapy system. The Axxent system uses a miniaturized linear accelerator to deliver a radiation-emitting seed the size of a grain of rice directly to the tumor site in order to help reduce recurrence of the disease. Used to treat early stage breast cancer, electronic brachytherapy offers women much shorter treatment time with less exposure to radiation, fewer side effects, and better outcomes.
A typical course of radiation therapy consists of five treatment sessions a week, for five to eight weeks. Your doctor will tailor your treatment according to the size and location of your cancer, its type, your general health and other treatments you are receiving. In internal radiation therapy, an implant can stay in your body for several days or be removed after only a few minutes, depending on the dose of radiation.
Because of the nature of cancer and radiation therapy, it's difficult to assess the effects of treatment immediately. However, after your sessions are complete, you will have follow-up exams and diagnostic tests as needed to evaluate your progress.

I hope someone out there can help me. I am 46, when I was a teen I remember reading a book on dollmaking. One of the patterns in the book was for a golliwog. The book may have been from England, I am not sure. Some of the dolls were made by wrapping an armature, as I recall. It was a hardcover, with some lovely color photographs in it. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I would love a copy of this book, and would know it when I see it, but I am not able to identify it. Thanks, Lisa |

Enid Blyton wrote all the Golliwog books. She was from England. I don't know if there was a book on making the doll but you might do a search and see if you can find one.... |

I want to thank everyone who repiled to my request. There was only 1 chapter in the book on making a golliwog, I remember one of the other patterns was for a miniature baby doll, which I made. The book had a large assortment of different dolls to make. I will try everyone's suggestions, thansk. Lisa |

Supervisor: Dr. Boon-Chye Low, High Altitude Observatory
Work in progress: I am working on two main projects. The first involves modeling three-dimensional density structures, both time-invariant and CMEs, in order to develop analysis techniques for the upcoming STEREO mission. The second involves determining observational indicators of the emergence of magnetic flux ropes into the corona. Particular attention will be paid to the potential on-disk signatures of CMEs known as sigmoids. A detailed observational analysis has been completed using observations taken during the Whole Sun Month 3 (WSM3) campaign, which I coordinated with Dr. Doug Biesecker in August, 1998.
Term of Employment: February 2000- January 2001NSF-NATO Postdoctoral Fellowship, University of Cambridge
Head of department: Dr. Charles Montrose, The Catholic University of America
Work accomplished: As well as analyzing Whole Sun Month 3 sigmoids, I determined streamer boundaries, density and temperature distribution, and streamer evolution over the 3 days of the 1998 Spartan 201-05 mission. Both white light and UV/EUV line emission data from Spartan, SOHO, TRACE, and MLSO were considered.
Term of Employment: January 1999 - January 2000Research Assistant Professor in Physics, The Catholic University of America
Host advisor: Dr. Helen Mason, University of Cambridge
Work accomplished: The subject of my NSF-NATO fellowship was "Coronal Connections", in particular the use of theoretical models as a framework in which to compare and connect solar coronal structures seen on multiple scales. Both "static" coronal streamer structures and potentially dynamic sigmoids were observed during the Whole Sun Month 3 campaign and the Spartan white light coronagraph mission. I began the analyses of both sets of data: the Spartan analysis with Drs. Richard Fisher, Andrzej Fludra, Lika Guhathakurta and Theresa Kucera, and the WSM3 sigmoid data with Drs. Helen Mason and Dave Pike (we have also done a preliminary analysis using archived SOHO/CDS data). I also published a theoretical interpretation of these sigmoidal CME precursors and associated filaments.
Term of Employment: April 1998 - January 1999NRC (National Research Council) Associateship, NASA Goddard
Head of department: Dr. Charles Montrose, The Catholic University of America
Work accomplished: As a member of the Spartan satellite white light coronagraph team, I contributed to operations during the November 1998 mission. Along with Drs. Lika Guhathakurta and Richard Fisher I developed an observing campaign that coordinated observations from the Spartan, SOHO/CDS, and TRACE telescopes. A particular focus of these studies was the onset of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). My work with CME modeling continued, comparing model structures to observations, and studying the three-dimensional nature of the CME.
Term of employment: April 1996 - April 1998Postdoctoral Fellowship, High Altitude Observatory, NCAR
Supervisor: Dr. Richard Fisher, NASA Goddard
Work accomplished: I continued to work with coronal models, in particular applying a magnetostatic model to an extensive set of observations capturing a solar rotation at solar minimum. I co-organized this Whole Sun Month campaign with Dr. Doug Biesecker, and coordinated observations from both ground-based datasets and datasets from spacecraft including the SOHO satellite. In addition to the original observing campaign, Dr.Biesecker and I also coordinated two workshops, two American Geophysical Union special sessions, and a special issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research containing 19 Whole Sun Month papers (four with me as an author).

Date 2005-04-24 Availability unrestricted Abstract This thesis sets out to proof that Paul advised the Corinthians, at least prominently, from a Christ-centred koinwniva frame of mind when addressing their issues in 1 Corinthians.Firstly it has been established that the koinwniva word group may be defined within the nuances of a dynamic relationship. Secondly the study has compiled, with this definition in mind, at least 47 of the most prominent koinwniva elements as found throughout the Bible, with special focus on the New Testament. These elements have then been organised in a koinwniva defined theological framework so that it could be easily accessible for further study into the way Paul might have used them later on in 1 Corinthians. The study then continued not only to point out the important role of 1 Cor 1:1-9 in the Corinthian letter, but also to show how the themes still to be addressed are actually being set in a koinwniva frame of mind. Furthermore, the role of 1:9, as nexus, combined with the specific reference to koinwniva with Christ has also been stressed. In doing so Paul actually supply us with what could be called a "key" to unlock other koinwniva elements in the rest of 1 Corinthians without encountering the koinwniva term as such.
So, armed with this "key" and our carefully defined koinwniva theological framework, 1 Cor 5-6 and 8:1-11:1 have been selected as test cases in proving the hypothesis as true. After the issues that Paul encountered in these chapters have been clarified and his responses exegetically laid out, it has been shown in every textual unit, within the designated macro units, that Paul most definitely put koinwniva with Christ in the focus of each suggested solution. Through this "key" other relevant referrals were then made to one or more of the 47 koinwniva elements from the previously compiled koinwniva theological framework.
Realising that the koinwniva dynamics featured consistently behind Paul's suggestions to the Corinthians, led to the conclusion that Paul extensively tapped into a Christ-centred koinwniva dynamic as a prominent frame of mind to address some of the key issues featuring in 1 Corinthians.

Great frosty base! Use this a lot. Works great with any color shadow. Even works as a highlighter! Love this product..
I love this stuff! I use it everyday. I put it all over my eyelids and the shadows become so vibrant or at the inner corner. It's so versatile - I will definitely repurchase :)
I love this stuff!!! Perfect highlighter. I use it to highlight all over my face. Fabulous formula! Best our there -this stuff lasts all day & all night - until I take it off. Definitely recommend!
The SA at MAC recommended this to me to use as an e/s base when applying pigments so it gives them something to stick to. The only thing you have to watch out for with the CCBs is creasing. I don't have too much of a problem because my eyelids are not too oily. But I do make sure to give my eyelids a little wash before applying this just to make sure all the oil is off. Pearl is a great color to use as an e/s base, since it goes with anything. This color can also be used to highlight cheeks, etc. UPDATE 1/18/2010: I STILL use this as an e/s base! I was using MAC select cover-up concealer, which works better if you want a solid base that will definitely NOT crease. Recently, I have been opting for this creamier base, and have had no problems with creasing at all. I just make sure I apply my e/s ASAP before the CCB starts to crease. I love applying something creamy as a base. It feels nice on my lids, especially since I'm getting a bit older. I like to have more moisture on the area during the day :-)) I hope they never discontinue this!
YES!! after having a mac make over,the sales girl used this on me...wowwwww!!! gave me this beautiful glow on my face...I just had to buy it!! HOLY GRAIN! cant live without this,gives u a nautral glow to your face...like a J.Lo! I even got ppl telling me h
MAC's CCBs are vastly underrated! Pearl is my favorite out of the bunch, but all of them are excellent used under powder shadows to intensify the color (works really well with the duochrome MAC shadows, especially!). Pearl is lovely used as a base under Samoa Silk, Amberlights or Motif shadows. It also makes a nice browbone and cheek highlight and dabbed on the centre of the lips. Highly versatile and recommended!
Very pretty. I use this on my brow bone, cheekbones or anywhere I want to highlight. Very subtle, not obvious, just looks like a natural glow. I will definitely repurchase!
I never really experimented with the Cream Color Bases until a friend was applying hers one night before we were going out. After I saw how nice it looked on her, I had to have it. It comes in a flip top pot similar to the blushes. The texture is light and easy to blend, it's not oily and not too dry, it's just right. It works well for many different things. It can be used as a base for shadows, as a highlighter for around the eyes, or as a cheek color. I'm really glad that I discovered these! As the name suggests, this is a light pearl shade. You can intensify the color by the amount you apply. Rave from me! :o)
I use this every day and will replace it once it's gone. It's a slightly frosted cream color and it's perfect to use as a primer for eyeshadow. Some of the mac matte eyeshadows are great colors but well too matte for me. So when I wear the matte shadows with the cream base, it gives the shadow a nice shimmer. It also makes my eyeshadow stay in place all day and gives it longer wearing time.
I got this in a swap. This product is just too perfect! I can use it in so many ways. I use it as an eyeshadow and it works perfectly and I love the effect. It's a great highlighter for face or body, and, though I haven't tried this yet, I bet it would be a great thing to use to tone down dark lipsticks and eyeshadows. All in one little $14.50 compact. I hope MAC never discontinues this.

"We continue seeing a trend of self-inflicted incidents. There were seven this year. That has stayed pretty steady over the last four, five years," reviews Megan Wisecup, safety education programs coordinator for the Department of Natural Resources. "It gets back to basic firearm handling. Point the muzzle in a safe direction. Keep your finger off the trigger, until ready to shoot. And take an extra minute when crossing obstacles to unload."
A jacket drawstring….a handgun falling from a truck…thick brush on a creek bank. Each triggered a gun to fire in 2013. Linn, Marion and Floyd counties each recorded two 2013 incidents. The others were spread among 11 central, eastern and north-central counties.
The key to the long term drop can be traced directly to many Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoons…in mandatory hunter education classrooms and outdoor safety courses.
"Back in the 60s; we were seeing over 100 incidents and up to 20 fatalities a year," underscores Wisecup. "Hunter education--voluntary since 1960—became mandatory in 1983. Since then, we have seen a drastic drop in the numbers of hunting incidents."
There were 11,505 Iowa students certified in 368 classes 2013. The 10 hour sessions, usually spread over two or three days, teach basic understanding of hunting regulations, first aid and ethics, as well as safe firearm handling, and wildlife understanding; all under the watchful eyes of nearly 1,300 volunteer instructors.
"We like the traditional classes for younger students; those 12 up to 16 years old," outlines Pat Jorgensen, recreational safety officer for the DNR, in eastern Iowa. "They get a lot more hands-on type learning; live firing, a safety trail with 'shoot/don't shoot' scenarios. They handle firearms in a safe manner."
The classes and emphasis evolve over time. For instance an 'online only' course is now available for adults; recognition that work schedules and juggling family commitments don't always leave two or three days in a row to sit through a class.
Even the areas of emphasis are updated through the years. With upwards of 50,000 archery deer hunters, now; a noticeable climb in tree stand falls—some fatal—brings special attention to tree stand safety.
"We focus more on putting up stands; carrying equipment up and down the tree," says Jorgensen. "Using three point contact climbing (meaning three hands/feet are in contact with the ladder or stand at all times), too."
And the emphasis on safety continues in the stand. A decade ago, most tree stand hunters slid a single strap around their waist…if that. Now, full body harnesses are recommended.
Still, people are not always properly wearing them. That has resulted in injuries…and death," warns Jorgensen. There were two fatal bowhunting falls in 2012.
In upland game or deer hunting, firearm hunters are wearing more blaze orange than years past. The minimum might be a 'torso covered' (deer hunting) or an item 'at least 50 percent blaze orange,' (upland game), however, instructors stress that more is always better.

Film Review: Margaret
Margaret is the 'new' film from writer/director Kenneth Lonergan (You Can Count On Me), and it is quickly apparent that the film was shot several years ago (in fact, it was filmed in 2005 and originally due for release in 2007). Hence the shot of the multiplex that is showing Serenity and Flightplan, the poster for The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and the reference to the current U.S. President as being one of the worst yet.
The film's distributor insisted that Lonergan edit the film to under 2.5 hours and Lonergan was reportedly unable to settle on a cut that he was happy with. After years of legal disputes, Lonergan finally signed off on this cut, which was apparently edited with the assistance of Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker. The resulting film feels fractured and messy, but there is a lot to embrace here.
The film centres around Lisa Cohen (Anna Paquin), a 17-year-old New Yorker who attends what she describes as 'a private school for over-privileged Jews.' She lives with her mother, a fairly succesful theatre actress with whom Lisa has a strained relationship. She is fiercely confident, often talking back to teachers and asserting herself in class discussions. She cruelly toys with a male classmate who does her maths homework and is clearly smitten with her. She employs a wide vocabulary, sometimes effortlessly and sometimes awkwardly.
Lisa's bubble is ruptured when she inadvertently contributes to a traffic fatality. The incident occurs when she is trying to signal a bus and the driver (Mark Ruffalo) becomes distracted by her. He doesn't see a red light and runs over a pedestrian (Allison Janney). This extended sequence is both coldly visceral and highly emotional, with Lonergan refusing to cut away from the trauma. It is a brilliantly-executed scene, one that I found extremely upsetting. When the police question Lisa, she lies and says that the traffic light was green. The film follows her over the next couple of months, as she struggle to rectify her actions.
Structurally, this is a very unusual script. It is sprawling, following Margaret through various storylines that are often completely unrelated (apart from her presence in each of them). Characters like her best friend appear in a couple of scenes and then disappear. Some of this is undoubtedly due to the fact that the film was intended to be approximately 3 hours, so a lot of scenes have been cut out. Nevertheless, it is an interesting approach to the story. If you invest primarily in the fall-out from the traffic fatality, then you may find yourself wondering why so many unrelated plotlines are interrupting the story. I think that the best way to approach this is as a study of Lisa's emotional crisis, which is triggered by the accident. The accident and subsequent lawsuit string the film together, but are only one aspect of her life at this time, and Lonergan wants to give us a complete picture.
There are several moments in which the editing betrays the loss of material. A couple of scenes have obvious cut-aways to try to mask this, while other scenes offer jarring cuts between different parts of a conversation, leaving you to fill in the pieces. It is an odd effect, and makes me very curious to see the longer director's cut.
One thing that I really like about the script is Lonergan's approach to dialogue. While many writers aim to have their scenes flow and exhibit a regular rhythm, Margaret features several scenes in which characters talk over each other and jostle to be heard, or even grind the conversation to a halt to debate the use of a particular word. It is a fascinating approach, and gives each scene a thrilling sense of realism. More importantly, it doesn't feel forced; rather, it feels natural for Lisa's character and indeed any conversation that involves her (she tends to incite people to fits of frustrated screaming).
Lisa is a fascinating, superbly-drawn character, and Paquin is marvellous, perfectly capturing her curious mixture or brash confidence and painful vulnerability. The supporting cast is fantastic, in particular J. Smith-Cameron (most recently seen with Paquin on True Blood) as Lisa's mother, who struggles to connect with her troubled daughter. I also really enjoyed Paquin's scenes with Kieran Culkin, Mark Ruffalo and Matt Damon. Lisa is a beguiling presence, and Paquin uses this to play wonderfully off her co-stars.
Margaret is a lot like its central character; it has a confident voice that is occasionally awkward, and it puts more than a few feet out of place. But it is also very endearing, and refreshingly honest. In the end, it is hard not to succumb to its curious spell.

Help me...I gotta get off the pot on this one and get this DW ordered. Drawer base in question will hold silverware in the top drawer and then wraps, tupperware, storage stuff in the other drawers. Do you vote for: A. 18" DW and 30" drawer base B. 24" DW and 24" drawer base. Probably going with a Miele DW either way (for sure if it's to be an 18") and it's a 4-8 wk delivery so I have to stop stewing on this and decide now. I cook from scratch for DH and myself and do plenty of dishes, HOWEVER, I also wash the pots and pans by hand and don't mind that at all. Just can't decide if the 6" is better served in the DW or the drawer base. It's our forever home, we're leaving toes up, so resale isn't an issue. A? or B? |

Considering the purposes for which you intend to use the drawers, I vote for B. I have my silverware and plastics in a 21" drawer stack now and it's just enough room - 24" should be plenty. |
- Posted by debrak2008 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 24, 13 at 14:10
I'm going to say option 1. I just measured my dw and 18" is not that much smaller. If it is just to two of you and you don't mind washing most pots, pans, large mixing bowls, etc by hand then you should be ok. Some here have posted that in 1 or 2 person homes they only run the dw once a week, so I would think an 18" would be ok. Now if you entertain alot then do the 24" My silverware drawer is 36" and I would not want it any smaller. I also have a 30" untensil drawer and could not have it any smaller. |

B. I have a Miele and I run it every other day for the two of us. It amazes me how quickly we fill it. Miele's are configured for European dishes, so you may not have as much room as you would with a KA. For instance, the top basket is configured for teacups and saucers. We hand wash larger pots and pans. My silverware, wraps, Tupperware, and pots and pans are in a 27" base. I have a 23" base that holds all my gadgets in the top drawer and glass baking and casserole dishes, bowls, and colanders in the other drawers. Both are 4 drawer bases with a deeper top drawer--custom. Things are stacked, but not as badly as they would be in a three drawer base. |

I agree - 24" is a great size. |
annkh: 24" is a great size for the DW or drawerbase? :) |
- Posted by GauchoGordo1993 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 24, 13 at 16:25
I try to avoid non-standard size appliances because I worry that they will be less reliable and more difficult & expensive to replace. And judging from the number of 18" vs 24" dishwashers on the market (17 vs 224 at ajmadison.com), I would consider 18" DW non-standard. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Tue, Sep 24, 13 at 18:02
I vote for "B" ... 24 inches is plenty big enough for a drawer base to fit your purposes. As GauchoGordo says, I'd be more inclined to stick with a standard opening for the dishwasher. It may by your forever home, but this new dishwasher isn't likely to be your forever dishwasher. |
Um...would you prefer dish drawers now or in the future? I agree with Gauchogordo1993, go with "standard" when you can. |
Here is a link that might be useful: 24
Both! The 24" DW leaves room for the 24" drawers, right? I have a 24" drawer stack next to the range. The top drawer is perfect for utensils; the middle one holds plastic containers; the bottom hold canisters of sugar, flour, rice, etc. The bottom line, however, depends on exactly what you want to put in those drawers. If 24" just isn't going to be big enough, now is the time to find that out. I spent a lot of time measuring things as I was planning my kitchen, so when it came time to put things away, I didn't have any surprises. |
annkh: I did measure my stuff and yes, 30" drawers were awesome with some room left over ^gasp^. 24" drawers will work. Less than that wasn't doable. kksmama: Dishdrawers, yeah. I guess if I go 24 then the drawers (or drawers?) could come back into play, couldn't they (it)? |
Well, the full-size won... big score on an ASKO panel-ready, 4 rack with some outside damage. It's totally fixable and I got it for 600.00!! woo. hoo. |
- Posted by angela12345 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 25, 13 at 16:14
I was also voting for B. 24" DW and 24" drawers. Especially if they are frameless ? But then I got to the end of the thread and discovered that is what you picked. 24" DW because that is standard size and 18" are often more expensive. |

I posted this in the pest forum, but thought I'd also check with my fellow Alabamians.
Can anyone help me identify these worms in this picture? My initial thought is that this is bad news. What should I do? Thanks. Wide View of Mulberry Tree Creepy Close-Up |
Follow-Up Postings:
They are fall webworms...a close relative of the eastern tent caterpillars. Fall webworms make their large tents on the ends of branches and become quite common in the summer. Mulberry is a favorite host, so much so that in some locations they are called Mulberry Caterpillars. The best recommendation (not just mine) is to disturb that webbing with a broom handle, stick, or something like that. Just by opening the nest up, you'll put those caterpillars on the dinner table for the host of predator animals and insects the prey on them. The parasitic insects will be able to get at them, too. If there are any nests that you can reach with a pole saw, you could remove them and dispose. There are no chemicals that are recommended for these kinds of caterpillars, as their nest pretty much protects them. Just let all of their natural enemies have at 'em. Don't be surprised if you begin hearing lots of bird squawking in the very near future! They love those things. |
Thanks for the advice. I'm sure the birds will love them. |

I have had my Limelight, Quick Fire, Pink Diamond and Pinky Winky for a few years now, so I have had the opportunity to observe their growth habits and characteristics for some time now. It's interesting how different they are! Here are my observations - I wonder if you share my experiences too?
1. Limelight This one is absolutely a winner! It is hardy, reliable, big but very evenly shaped. I have trained mine to be a little vase-shaped shrub and then underplant it with other perennials. The large blooms are absolutely gorgeous but they do flop after a heavy rain. I would like to see how that "Little Lime" does because Limelight can get rather big! Otherwise, it's a perfect shrub! 2. Quick Fire This has to be the most elegant of them all! I love how, upright, even, neat and tidy the QF shrub looks. The flowers have this airy, lacey look to them. The shrub is covered with them! The lacey blooms don't flop after a heavy rain. The shrub is not as big as Limelight and Pinky Winky and it blooms very early. The blooms turn from white to pink/red quickly too. The only thing is that, the blooms do attract lots of bugs and ants... it is surely the most beautiful of them all, until the blooms turn into this panty hose color.... ouch! LOL 3. Pinky Winky This guy is big and unruly! LOL! I think I will need to prune it a bit more aggressively next year to see if it will be a little more "shaped". Otherwise, I love the red stems. The blooms may not be as bi-color as advertised, but I will give it some more time to establish itself to see if they really look anything like the promotional photos! Oh, and somehow it attracts more deer than any other paniculatas in my yard. I wonder why? 4. Pink Diamond Poor baby! My PD has been planted in a semi-shade and rather dry area where a tree stump used to be. So it has really stunted growth and the deer seem to like it just a little too much! Sigh! After several years, it is still this lil thing with few blooms.... I will blame it on myself than the shrub itself! Sigh... Anyway, right now, my yard is bone dry and many shrubs and perennials are suffering in the unusual humid heat for our area. However, this has not affected my paniculatas a single bit. They just carry on business as usual - I just love them! So carefree and beautiful. I would love to hear your experiences! |

This is my second year with 15 Limelights and four Pinky Winkies (and first year with four Little Lambs, so I'll save my thoughts on them for next year). My observations for each are about the same: some of them get leggier first, some of them reach for the sky, some start opening buds weeks before the others, and some are far more full of leaves/stems than others. All are wonderful. My PWs (my lady friend and I have started calling them P-dubs) definitely do display the bi-color trait (and, don't tell anybody, but they start out just as beautifully green as limelights do), and the red stems are gorgeous. I have read the deer thing from others as well, but don't think it'll be a problem for me, as mine are in front of my house. One thing I'll comment on quickly is pruning. The only hydrangea I truly pruned is one Limelight, which was a clearance pickup, and was basically one very tall stem, with not much going on at the bottom. I pruned this stem nearly in half, and the shoots that came off it were very vertical and vigorous (and I expect the panicles on these shoots will be quite large). Because of my designs and wants, I don't plan on pruning any of my Limelights or PWs from now on, but if I were only growing one of each, as specimens, I would prune every year. One nice thing about not pruning is that these two cultivators love to layer themselves. |

1. Ostrich doesn't your blooms stand back up on your Limelight after they have time to dry out? Mine do not flop that bad at all. I remember a pic of your LL and it was about the biggest one I have ever seen. It has set the bar high for my LL. I am curious at what height do you prune yours down to Ostrich? I Love my Limelights and can not really come up with a negative thing to say about them at all. 2. The Quick Fire is a very great shrub, but a little puzzling to me. I am glad Whass stated about her flower color. I have three of them. One was just purchased last fall. But my other 2 act totally different from the other. The PH is very close to each other, but they are in two completely different light exposures. One receives full sun from 11am all day and the other gets around 5 hours of mid to later day sun. The one in full sun acts like Whass's QF & the partial sun one acts like Ostrich's QF. Although who knows maybe they are different because they came from two different places or could it be the sun exposure?? I defentily prefer the dusty pink over pantyhose color later in the year. Never noticed the bugs on this one to bad. I have noticed them more on the Limelights than the Quick Fire, but neither are a problem at all. Always my first to bloom also! 3. I just bought my first Pinky Winky last year. It was a 5 gallon plant. The blooms were better than advertised in my opinion. Absolutely huge sturdy multi colored blooms. I couldn't of been happier about it's performance for it's first year. This year it is my only holdout in showing buds and growing slower than expected. Not sure what to expect this year. 4. The Pink Diamond is TERRIBLE for wasp and flys. No other attracts them like the PD in my yard! It is a tree form and is perfect in all other ways other than the bug issue. Always the second to bloom behind the QF or tied for second with LL. This year it is beating the LL by a week or so. Defentily not my favorite flower of all Paniculata, but still very stunning. 5. Little Lamb is about as floppy as a Pee Gee. Although it's flowers are far superior and compact size is great! I also bought some Vanilla Strawberries this year and I am very excited. I thought I read they came from a Limelight but are a little smaller. They are being sold by Bailey Nursery the same people that are behind the Endless Summer. They claim 4-5 ft wide and 6-8ft tall. They are 5 gallon plants I purchased. The stems are bright red! Better than the Pinky Winky by far! But I fail to have seen that mentioned by any of the advertisements. They say it will keep reblooming to give you the tri-color effect. Plus they advertise the bloom time is the longest of any other Paniculata by 4 weeks. The flower shape seems like they will be a little different from the LL. Here is some photos of the VS and found off a website and Bailey's. In the background I believe is the new Tickled Pink also. |
I have a corner spot in front of the house that is behind a japanese maple and get a couple of hours of morning sun. How would a paniculata fare there? I would have to be fairly upright as well since lateral space is limited. |
miclino, I was just trying to figure it out by looking at the old photos.... I think I must have planted them around late summer/early fall of 2004. So they are probably around 6 years old now. When I got them (3 of them) they were in 5 gallon pots. |

My second year with Little Lamb and Pinky Winky... Little Lamb is just starting to bloom now. Pinky Winky is budding up and will probably start blooming next week. I have a tree hydrangea (I don't know the variety) and it is barely showing the beginnings of flower nubs. |
I am new to gardening and hydrangeas, but I just want to say thank you for sharing your thoughts/reviews. It really helps! I just LOVE those Vanilla Strawberries. Anyone who does have Little Lime . . .I would enjoy hearing your thoughts on it! |
