Shop b-glowing's Cult Classic Beauty Picks.
We love introducing devotees to new brands and products, especially those that have a strong cult following. In our Cult Classic Beauty Picks boutiques, we've taken the guesswork out of trying new lines by hand-selecting our favorite products in Skincare, Makeup, Fragrance, Hair Care, Bath + Body, and Men's.
To treat hair with better care, we're loving Gloss Moderne's High-Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner. It makes hair smooth and treats it so gently that it improves, and maintains, your hair's health. It can be hard to find a shampoos and conditioners that are moisturizing but also paraben, sulfate, and sodium chloride free. But Gloss has it all.
Plus, if you love locks that smell delish all day, Gloss is reminiscent of coconut and caramel, which makes showering more like dessert.
Our editor had this to say: "I recently started using this duo after having a keratin straightening treatment, and it has made my hair feel wonderful. The best thing is it's obviously Keratin safe, but I don't notice frizz or 'crunchiness' with my hair anymore, which is saying a lot since it's gone through several chemical treatments. I've also heard that this will extend the life of my Keratin treatment."

I love this time of year because of March Madness. I love to watch the excitement and the debate surrounding games, snubs, and upsets. I love to cheer on the Duke Blue Devils. Since I am trying to be more regular with my blogging, I thought I would do what many have done before: create a tourney around a topic. I have selected to do a tourney of influential Christian thinkers.
First thing to note: this list is not about the "most" influential and it is not exhaustive. I solicited some names from friends and threw in some of my own. The selection committee was made up of me and the seeding was too. Starting tomorrow there will be daily surveys where people can vote on the winners of the match-ups. I am also hoping that people will use the comment section to try and sway others into why a certain thinker should win over another. Here will be the schedule:
Friday March 18 – Northwestern Division Round 1
Monday March 21- Duke Divinity Division Round 1
Tuesday March 22- Chatfield Division Round 1
Wednesday March 23- Winona Division Round 1
Thursday March 24- Northwestern and Duke Divinity Round 2
Friday March 25- Chatfield and Winona Round 2
Monday March 28- Sweet 16
Tuesday March 29- Northwestern & Duke Divinity Elite 8 Matchups
Wednesday March 30- Chatfield & Winona Elite 8 Matchups
Thursday March 31- Final Four Matchups
Friday April 1- Championship Matchup
Monday April 4- Champion Crowned
I won't give much detail on the matchups until the Elite 8 matchups. I will try to provide links for further information on the people so people can learn more, etc.
The whole point of this is to have some fun and have some discussion. I am excited to see how some of these match-ups turn out. So without further delay, below is the final field of 64. Look them over and comment. Do you think someone got snubbed? Did somebody get a bad seed? Toughest bracket?

Hello, I have a new Violet de Bordeux fig that I planted in a 2-gallon container last year. I live in Zone 6 Philadelphia area.
In June 2010, I buried the container 1/3 deep in ground. Then in Nov 2010, I dug it up, there were many tiny roots that sticking out of the holes on the bottom. Those roots were maybe 10 inches long out of the holes. Well I didn't do anything special last fall. I just put the container in a plastic bag, left the bag open and put it in the garage. I have not inspect the roots yet, maybe they are dried up now. But the plant shows green on the tip of the branchs. My question now is what should I do with those roots? I am going to move this plant to a bigger container (maybe 10-gallon). Should I use a pair of scissors to cut off those roots that sticking out of the bottom holes? or should I just leave them as they are? Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do nothing with them roots sticking out of pot, else than cutting them OFF (which you should have done in the first place - and may now give you a hard time to pull plant out of pot). They are useless & also (probably) dead by now. OK to pot-up your fig. Maybe 'slice' roots top-to-bottom, at least at one outer edge, |
- Posted by foolishpleasure 7 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 1, 11 at 17:15
I am doing same with all my Fig trees. But I have one rule which never allow roots to grow through the container bottom. I block all these holes and drill holes on the side of the container. You was lucky your tree still young and you was able to pull it from the ground. When the tree gets old and established it is impossible to move it with its roots sticking from the drainage holes. I use the shovel and cut the roots from the side holes easily and move the pots. One of my trees is over 6 feet tall and still I can move it easy. Easy is not that easy but I can do it. |

It looks to be a very active week on Capitol Hill for hearings related to the entrepreneurial economy. A collection of legislative proposals to help startups and young firms raise capital will be up for discussion in front of the House Committee on Financial Services.

Feb 8, 2013 11:29 PM by RYAN JASLOW - CBS News
Flu deaths continue to fall across the United States, giving health officials cautious optimism that the 2012-2013 flu season may be on its way out.
According to the latest numbers released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 9 percent of all U.S. deaths during the week of Jan. 27 through Feb. 2 were tied to pneumonia or influenza-like illness, down from 9.4 percent from the week before.
The flu continues to be considered an epidemic because the death rate exceeds the government's measurable threshold of 7.4 percent of deaths caused by a specific disease. However, the worst may be behind us, officials said.
"We're not at the end but we're nearing the end," Michael Jhung, an epidemiologist at the CDC, told USA Today.
The CDC releases its FluView surveillance report every Friday.
Thirty-eight states are now reporting widespread flu activity, also down from the previous report which showed 42 states with widespread flu.
Fewer states are also reporting high rates of flu, with 19 states and New York City seeing lots of activity. Last week the CDC said 24 states and New York City were experiencing heavy flu.
"It's likely that the worst of the current flu season is over," CDC spokesman Tom Skinner told the Associated Press.
Fourteen more pediatric deaths were reported in the latest update, bringing the child death toll for this flu season to 59 .
In the last 10 flu seasons, between 43 and 153 U.S. children have died from flu.
The CDC does not release information about adult flu deaths, but an estimated 24,000 people die each year.
Flu-related hospitalizations continued to climb, with 29.8 per every 100,000 Americans being admitted for flu, up from 25.9 out of 100,000 people from the previous report. The elderly continue to be the age group getting hit hardest, accounting for more than 50 percent of reported hospitalizations.
Dr. William Schaffner, of Vanderbilt University, past president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, told CBS This Morning this week that this year's strain is more virulent than previous years, and seniors are often more susceptible to flu because their immune systems are more frail than those of younger people.
"When flu strikes, they're more likely to get the complications of influenza," he said.
The CDC has urged people 65 and older and other high-risk groups, such as those with underlying medical conditions, to seek antiviral flu treatment quickly if they develop flu symptoms. The CDC says antiviral drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can reduce symptoms, decrease chances the flu will turn into pneumonia and help prevent the need for hospitalization.

geographical nameCity (pop., 2001: 1,016,000), southeastern Ukraine. In 1872 an ironworks was founded there by a Welshman, John Hughes, to produce iron rails for the growing Russian rail network. Fueled by the rich deposits of the Donets Basin, both coal mining and steelmaking developed rapidly. Extensive destruction in World War II led to postwar modernization, and subsequent growth has been rapid. Modern Donetsk is one of Ukraine's largest metallurgical centres.

Hi, this is my first post and I would like to know what you think about my problem. I have been living in a NEW mobile home for 2 months (it is a 2004 which sat on the dealers lot, new, never lived in) A month after I lived in it I noticed rainwater coming in the living room and a bedroom (it is a single wide 2 b/r, 2 baths) I told the dealer where I bought it from about this and he sent someone over to replace some missing shingles. The water continued to come in, the ceiling is sagging and the walls and floors are showing signs of water.
I hired an inspector and he said it needed a new roof and took pictures of a poor patch job and nail holes, etc on the roof and the problems inside. I have called this matter to the attention of an attorney because the dealer was dragging his feet and refused to do anything further until he heard from the manufacturer. In the meantime 4 weeks went by with heavy rains and the water was literally cascading down my living room wall. The manufacturer had now agreed to put a new roof on and fix the interior damage. Now this is where I need your views: If I let them do all this work, I still wind up with a damaged unit (possibly mold in walls & ceilings, which could be very dangerous) and I paid for a NEW unit. (I lived in a moldy place before that I was allergic to) Should I not be compensated somehow for the repair mess that I will have to go thru.?? What about if, as the attorney said, I could sue for a new replacement unit, would you not want to be compensated for all the trouble one has to go thru such as living in a hotel while I wait for a new unit to be put on the lot??? I'm not a young person and am totally confused as to how to handle this and if I will be compensated for the mess that I have to go thru either way this goes. Your opinions will be appreciated. Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm no attorney, but looking at this from your standpoint, I'd say you are right, you should be compensated by the dealer and the manufacturer, by recieving a new unit, hotel expences, attorney fees, funrinute storage fee's, and stress related fee's/ Or a new unit valued at three times what you paid for this one. Talk to your attorney some more, see what he can/will do. My Uncle bought a truck from a used car dealer. This signed a disclaimer saying this truck had never been wrecked. A few weeks later he ran into the previous owner's father. Father said: "it's amazing what the body shop did to that truck after my son almost totalled it". Uncle saw attorney, attorney said: "you get three times what you paid for it". |

WHEN IN PARIS: Few kids get to lunch out at the Elysée Palace. That was one of the treats in store for Sasha Obama and her older sister, Malia, who accompanied their parents to the City of Light over the weekend. The President and First Lady were in France to attend an event honoring the 65th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy on Saturday — where she wore a Narciso Rodriguez dress under a Michael Kors coat, while French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy opted for an equally pale dress by Christian Dior. But the Obamas' whistle stop visit to Paris also was filled with plenty of sightseeing — and a spot of shopping. Having flown in prior to President Obama's arrival, Michelle Obama treated their daughters to a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower Friday night (the hip mom was dressed in a "mouthwash" green Rick Owens jacket, accessorized with a scarf by Prova and those Lanvin sneakers). Amidst visits to other cultural Paris sites, such as the Pompidou Center and the Louvre museum, the Obama sisters, who are on school holiday, also got a tour of Bonpoint's sprawling flagship on Paris' Rue de Tournon, a brand spokeswoman confirmed. And, while the President jetted back to America, the First Lady and daughters scooted quietly over to London on Monday, where Michelle Obama had a private meeting with Sarah Brown, wife of the British prime minister, after which the three Americans had a whirlwind tour of the British capital. And now it's Tuesday, so, according to the classic movie, Belgium must be next?

Funniest/strangest gig story -- local?
Playing in Copper Mountain in the snow.
Funniest/weirdest gig story -- on tour?
I can't tell you in public.
Worst gig?
A job that paid only twenty bucks to each player.
What do you love about the local scene?
There are a lot of fine musicians out there and some a-holes, but for the most part, they are pretty friendly.
What bugs you about the local scene?
Promotion -- or the lack of promoting local talent -- on the local airwaves.
What's the biggest misconception about your band/act?
People think that we only play jazz or funk. What they don't understand is that we do both at the same time.
Parting shot/final comments?
Keep pushing the local bands, more PR for the local bands. We have some fine bands here, and we are not being heard enough.
And you are...?
"As hollow as the hollow sound of my empty whisky flask..." or Troy Schoenfelder, founder and singer-songwriter of Buckskin Stallion.
How long has your act been together?
Founded in 2000. Revolving cast of characters.
What are some of your noteworthy recent feats?
Got voted into the Westword Music Showcase 2004!
Recent recordings of note?
Blue Ribbon Buzz was released earlier this year on Big Bender Records (www.bigbender.net). BRB is an ode to industrial beer and the traditional story-song. Ahh, hell, it's a celebration of all things Americana!
How do you pay the bills? What are your day jobs?
Walk the Colorado Highways in search of aluminum cans and returnable bottles.
What's the biggest crowd you've ever played for?
Uhhh, how many were at Redding 2002?
Favorite places to play?
"World's Only Corn Palace," in Mitchell, South Dakota; 3,300-seat arena next to the "cop shop" in my home town.
Why music?
Because Townes Van Zandt is my godfather. Further, my bandmates are known, in some circles, as the Bastard Sons of Townes Van Zandt.
If not music, what else?
Stand-up comedy. Steve Martin informed me long, long ago that "Comedy Is Not Pretty." I find the same is true of country music.
What band names were left on the cutting-room floor in favor of your current one?
T-Roy and the Asthmatics.
Funniest/strangest gig story -- local?
Earlier this year, with a little change in our pockets going jing-a-ling-a-ling, Buckskin opened for the Georgia Satellites.
Funniest/weirdest gig story -- on tour?
Earlier this summer, Buckskin was playing a festival in Wyoming. An extremely inebriated woman punched the bass player in the chest for not letting her sing "a sad song" into his mike. A herd of men and women descended upon the stage. A brawl breaks out on stage, then in the crowd. Buckskin escapes stage left. The only casualty was my Beta 87A Shure microphone. I loved that fella.
What do you love about the local scene?
What's not to love?
What's the biggest misconception about your band/act?
That Buckskin plays saccharine Top 40 country. Buckskin Stallion is roots-rocking Americana. Marty Jones once said, "Buckskin Stallion is like Woody Guthrie on an amplified bender."
Any random facts we should know?
I play a Gibson J-45 acoustic guitar and use only D'Addario medium-gauge strings.
Avalanche or Broncos?
Dunno much about local sports.
Parting shot/final comments?
As the late, great Townes Van Zandt wrote, "If I had a Buckskin Stallion, I'd tame him down and ride away."
And you are...?
Cephalic Carnage -- Ted, the fifth Beatle, complainer and general troublemaker.
How long has your act been together?
According to my mom, I never really got it together.
What are some of your noteworthy recent feats?
In the last year and a half, we've played over 220 shows in sixteen countries, on tour with (here comes the shameless name-dropping) Hatebreed, Mastodon, Cradle of Filth, Shadows Fall, Cannibal Corpse, Killswitch Engage, Unearth, Kreator, Macabre, Madball, Terror, Dysrhythmia, Shai Hulud and many more.
Recent recordings of note?
Lucid Interval (Relapse Records), Halls of Amenti, 19 minute doom MCD (Willowtip Records) and Relapse Contamination DVD.
How do you pay the bills? What are your day jobs?
We, as a band, own a screen-printing operation. We will make shirts and stickers for you (shameless plug). Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
What's the biggest crowd you've ever played for?
We headlined a festival called "Fuck the Commerce" in Neiden, Germany, for over 4,000 people.
Favorite places to play?
New York, anywhere in Canada, San Francisco, the U.K., Denver, anywhere in Holland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Paris, Stockholm... I'll stop before I get annoying.
Why music?
Is there another option for people like us other than washing dishes?
If not music, what else?
Homelessness. Oh, wait...
What band names were left on the cutting-room floor in favor of your current one?
Ani DiFranco, Carniceria, Metallica, Usher, Iron Maiden and Jackson Browne, to name a few.
Funniest/strangest gig story -- local?
At an S&M show in Fort Collins, these dumb goth chicks wanted to dance on stage with us and requested that we play some "sexy" music. So we broke out some hillbilly country and attacked them with our instruments until they left. Cephalic 1, dumb goth chicks 0.

Shockingly, we can't always have Liam Neeson handle all the bad guys himself. That's why we have news from The Hollywood Reporter that Joel Kinnaman is in talks to join the cast of "All Nighter," a Neeson project to be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. Brad Inglesby wrote the script, which was formerly titled "Run All Night."
Here's the story:
The plot concerns an aging hitman (Neeson) who is forced to take on his brutal former boss to protect his estranged son and his family. Kinnaman will play the son who, as a chauffeur, witnesses a murder and needs to be eliminated.
Sounds like familiar territory for the latter day Neeson.
Kinnaman is best known for his role on AMC's "The Killing," but has been building quite a big screen resume both here and in this native Sweden. He starred in the mega Swedish hit "Snabba Cash" and has completed its sequel, which I think will come out this year. He was in last year's "Safe House," will be seen in the upcoming indies "Lola Versus" from Noah Baumbach and "Knight of Cups from Terrence Malick. Then next year he stars in the remake of "RoboCop." So plenty of Joel Kinnaman on the way for you.
"All Nighter" is looking for a fall production start.

Notes & Reviews:
From Prague's historic Mundt organ, Pavel Kohout brings forth a superb anthology of pieces by Bohemian composers such as Josef Seger, one of the organ's first titulars. The Mundt organ is considered to be the most important historical organ of this kind in Bohemia. It is unique not only from the point of view of its exceptionally high value and refined sound, but also as an object of art due to the fact that it has survived almost in its original state.

In winter, when temperatures hover in the low forties, the town slows down and reverts to its historic New England whaling town roots. Though the second-home real estate boom has displaced some year-round residents, enough shops and restaurants stay open to keep the town lively. Fly a kite on starkly beautiful beaches, enjoy Italian and Portuguese cuisine without waiting an hour for a table, and shop for antiques without getting jostled by other tourists.

University officials announced the establishment of the Undergraduate Cancer Research Center at Anderson University during Opening Convocation ceremonies on the campus Wednesday.
Biology professor Dr. Diana Ivankovic was named the first Dr. James A. Henderson Director of the center. Thanks to the generosity of Edgar and Wilma Henderson of Greenville, SC, the Director's position will be named in memory of their son, who was a graduate of the U.S.C. Medical University of Dentistry and the LSU School of Endodontics. Dr. Henderson was an endodontist in Anderson for a number of years and an active Baptist layman in Anderson.
Anderson University has been involved in undergraduate cancer research for a number of years. Under the direction of Dr. Ivankovic, the program has received several student/faculty research grants from the South Carolina Independent Colleges and University's Foundation. A number of Dr. Ivankovic's students, who have joined her in conducting important cancer research as undergraduate students, have enjoyed great success in graduate programs and medical schools. Given the success of the program, Anderson University, through its Board of Trustees, decided to give formal structure to the cancer research activities taking place at the university.
"I am honored to have been named the Dr. James A. Henderson director of the Undergraduate Cancer Research Center at Anderson University," said Dr. Ivankovic. "This center will offer a unique opportunity for Anderson University to be involved in the latest cancer research and to collaborate with healthcare institutions, so our students and faculty may one day experience how their research improves the treatment of patients with breast cancer and other types of cancer. As a researcher, professor, and breast cancer survivor, I am thrilled that this center has opened and very excited by all the opportunities it offers."
Dr. Ivankovic serves on the National Board of the Susan B. Komen Foundation. She was recently awarded the "Pointing the Way" leadership award by The Anderson Independent Mail newspaper for her leadership in the community. She has developed collaborative relationships with the Oncology Research Center, Greenville Hospital Systems, and AnMed Health.
Anderson University is a comprehensive university affiliated with the South Carolina Baptist Convention offering bachelors and masters degrees. Anderson is ranked in the Top Tier (top 25) of colleges and universities in the South, and one of "77 Schools to Watch in America," by U. S. News & World Report. Anderson has also been named one of "Americas 100 Best College Buys," Located in The Upstate region of South Carolina near the foothills of the Appalachians, Anderson University features a rigorous education in a supportive Christian environment.

In terms of victories this season, Sunday's win for the Kansas City Chiefs over the Seattle Seahawks is as big as any of them.
And it came in perhaps the best game of Matt Cassel's career as Chiefs quarterback.
Four touchdowns, no interceptions and – most importantly – timely touchdowns and great drives helped the Chiefs earn only their second road win of the season.
Last week's win was all about Dwayne Bowe and his breakthrough. This week was all about Cassel.
This is the game Chiefs fans have been wanting to see from him. This is the game they've been needing to see.
After Sunday, Cassel now sits with 22 touchdowns and only four interceptions. I'll let you read that again.
In 11 games this year, Cassel has thrown only four interceptions.
I think offensive coordinator Charlie Weis has "fixed the quarterback" – at least to this point.
Am I saying Cassel's the greatest quarterback in the league? Of course not. That would be quite stupid.
But he's good for this offense. And he's good for this team. And we're starting to see what head coach Todd Haley was seeing in never flinching in making Cassel his starter.
Earlier this week there was a post saying Cassel should be a Pro-Bowler. I couldn't agree more.
With Sunday's game, Cassel now has 18 more touchdowns than interceptions. He has nearly a 6-to-1 TD/INT ratio. That's so obscene, it's borderline pornographic. BTW, his numbers are right there with his friend Tom Brady, who has 23 touchdowns to only four interceptions. He's keeping pace with him stride for stride.
I've said all year Cassel is only as good as Bowe. And Bowe has really picked his game up. If Bowe does not get a trip to Hawaii, there's something wrong with the process. He's playing like one of the top receivers in the AFC and I'll be the first to eat some crow.
However, I don't think any of that happens without the way Jamaal Charles ran the football. Yes, he lost a fumble – which prevents me from giving him an A+ for the game. But he definitely gets a solid A. He finished with 173 yards rushing and a touchdown, not a bad day at all.
Gotta give one more shout out to DL Shaun Smith. Dude gets a rushing touchdown and a sack in the same game – first guy to do that since some guy named "Fridge." Good stuff overall today – especially with how bad the team looked early on with special teams.
Now, a pair of division games. We're in the same spot we were a couple of weeks ago. Denver Broncos next on the schedule and the Broncos look horrible. The Chiefs want revenge for how horrible they looked two weeks ago in Denver.
If the Chiefs come out and play offensively the way they have the last few weeks, I think they'll be fine. And I think we'll look at that game less as an embarrassing loss, but rather a necessary wake-up call that helped propel this team into the playoffs.
The Chiefs aren't there yet. There's still a long way – and a tough road game at the San Diego Chargers – to go. But this squad is playing MUCH better than the last two weeks. Hopefully it's not just because they're playing NFC West foes.
Until then, wear your No. 7 jerseys Chiefs nation. Wear them proudly

Over the last four years, local emergency departments saw a 50 percent increase in opioid overdoses. Often, it's hospital emergency rooms that treat people who are suffering from chronic pain. Now, Connecticut hospital ERs are looking at ways to manage pain but also prevent the abuse of prescription painkillers.
Several medical associations in Connecticut have endorsed voluntary guidelines for local emergency departments to reduce the inappropriate use of opioids.
Carl Schiessl, Director of Regulatory Advocacy with the Connecticut Hospital Association, said directors of emergency rooms gather monthly at CHA. He said it was at one of those meetings where the idea for the guidelines came up.

The United States Merchant Marine has met our country's economic and security needs, in wartime and in peace.
On National Maritime Day, we honor merchant mariners for their dedication to promoting commerce and protecting our freedom.
From our origins as 13 British colonies, through every period of peace and conflict since, the Merchant Marine has been essential to the surviva and prosperity of the United States of America. Seafarers power the world's economy and strengthen the ties of trading partners around the world.
During World War II more than 250,000 members of the American Merchant Marine served their country. More than 6,700 gave their lives, hundreds were detained as prisoners of war, and more than 800 ships were sunk or damaged.
This year, on May 22, ceremonies and celebrations throughout the country will recognize Maritime Day and the people our maritime nation depends on.

Industry and governmental leaders discussed issues of the day surrounding keeping seafarers, and passengers, safe at sea. From whistle blowing, to the Maritime Labor Convention, to harbor of safe refuge and seafarer welfare, this seminar highlighted both best practices and opportunities for improvement. The seminar also included a discussion of the newly released RULET program from NOAA dealing with the prioritization of potentially polluting shipwrecks.
The National Maritime Day Dinner & AMVER Awards celebrated the achievements of the merchant marine industry and included the presentation of the AMVER Awards. This year's dinner highlighted the developments in the industry, and recognized the 163 shipping companies who participate in the United States Coast Guard's voluntary AMVER rescue at sea program.

That's two years of hard work on a shoestring budget...using only hand tools. It finally started to come together this spring and began to resemble the original vision for it. I think one of the most amazing pics I've taken was of a poppy in the driveway bed... But, let's look at some food... This is one of my favorite scenes from the garden, taken while sitting under the cedar tree, drinking a cold glass of iced tea. The snow peas and most of the lettuce from the front raised beds are gone, now (keeping some of them for seed saving), but the green beans are taking up the space a bit, with the sweet potatoes ready to take over when the beans come out. The carrots in those two will have to hold the fort by themselves for a couple of weeks. |

...and finally, a few terse paragraphs about the design and the thinking behind it. (I hadda write it up because an acquaintance insisted that I enter it in a garden contest, even though we're only half finished with the garden.) ===== The overall design includes a labyrinth, which is more complex than it might seem at first glance. We have also incorporated a simplified rectangular mandala. A Celtic Cross, or Solar Cross, can be also be seen in the layout of the pathway. Some have asked why we chose persimmons as the centerpiece instead of the more traditional water feature. Persimmons are known as the 'food of the gods'. This concept fits with the imagery of the solar and Celtic cross(es) and reflects the overall themes and histories of labyrinths and mandalas. The longest part of the pathway lines up almost directly east/west, and conjoins with the autumnal equinox. That was a matter of happenstance, rather than planning, but it is incorporated into the design. These concepts were part of the original design and remained a part of every consideration during the process. This particular design is not a project for a novice gardener. We recommend that a novice utilize the services of a professional gardener and/or a landscape designer to achieve an edible landscape of this complexity. Thus far, we've invested $2,300 over two years. With our current budget and schedule, we plan to spend an additional $1,500 to $2,000 over the next two years. Costs include soil amendments, compost, peat moss, edging, stakes, sand, mulch, plants and seeds. In keeping with the idea of not breaking too many shoestrings, we provided our own labor and we used nothing but hand tools to implement this project. ===== Oh, yeah...pics... I call this series "fractals vs geometry." |
Thanks for posting! Its interesting to hear the ideas behind your garden design. Mine is roughly based on a gothic cathedral floor plant, with the idea of sacred space in mind. I hope you continue to post as the year progresses. I was really struck by the different colored mulches in that first photo. What a great way to add color and pattern before the plants have grown up enough to do that for you. |

Thanks for the compliment. We need to buy approx fifty bags of colored mulch to finish things off - black and cypress, mostly. that will make the outter beds look like those in the front. With our budget, that probably isn't happening until later this fall, mebbe even not until next spring. We'll see how things work. If we can only buy a few bags at a time, that's what we'll do. We also want to buy a few more of the permanent plantings this fall and winter, if we can. Plus, we still need two paw-paws, a belle of georgia peach and an American persimmon or a Meader American persimmon. We still need to build the boxes around the eight raised beds in the middle, too. That project should begin next spring...mebbe this fall...mebbe.I figgered the costs at between sixty and eighty bucks a bed. In a few years, we'll start replacing the sod with edible groundcovers. The sooner I get tired of mowing it, the sooner it gets done. Here's a pic of the planting diagram: |
- Posted by wbonesteel 7 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 3, 13 at 9:54
Here's the layout for the beds. I think the biggest mistake I've made so far is to plant purple passion asparagus in two of the tree beds. I had no idea it'd get that tall... I'm going to move it to the back yard this fall and replace it with more of the Mary Washington. The other thing was the challenge in taking on such a complex project by myself. It was a lot of work. I kept having to re-do things time after time after time, because we were only able to do the installation a little at a time. ...and keeping the bermuda outta the raised beds has, at times, been a real pain. I've lost track of how many times I've had to re-set and re-install that cheap edging, too... otoh, it's all now beginning to jell. Things should become much easier from here on out. But, it all looks wonderful, now, and it's feeding us, too. |
I can relate to the "re-doing" and the amazing amount of time this can take. I started much smaller and have been enlarging some every year. I am in the back of my house, which allows me to have it be a bit of a mess from time to time (actually most of the time for the past two years) as I work. I think I would feel like it had to constantly be tidy and together if it was in the front. I am not as good about planning everything out as you seem to be. So while I have had the basic architecture of the garden in mind from the 2nd years expansion, the actual plantings have just been evolving as I go. I have used some of that cheap plastic edging in other garden beds - its a pain to work with. I am using red brick for low edging in my kitchen garden, which I am much happier with, but it can turn into a slug hotel. |
- Posted by wbonesteel 7 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 4, 13 at 10:42
At the moment, the two biggest time sinks w our garden are keeping things watered and keeping the bermuda mowed and trimmed and looking neat. As for watering, over time, we'll install sprinkler and soaker hoses and drip lines and such. Eventually, the bermuda will be removed and replaced with edible ground covers. otoh, most of the really hard work is finished. The rest can be done a little, here, a little there. |

Need some advice on the use of black nursery pots. I can procure large quantities of 3 gallon pots from someone who works at Costco and gets their nursery containers. I have seen some posts where people advise against using black pots or at least wrapping them in heat reflective colors to avoid cooking the roots. I'm mainly considering them for peppers using something close to 511 mix. I'm in Minnesota, so extended periods of scorching heat is abnormal. Any thoughts on this? Nurseries don't take any precautions when using them, so why would it be a problem for a home gardener? Thanks in advance for any advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
IDK about retail nurseries, but the wholesale nurseries I deal with pack the containers close together so that the edge ones can shade the interior ones if possible. They also water the heck out of them. That said, I use them all the time. You probably want #5s and #15s for most veg though. |
Thanks for the input. Mainly just worried about the heat absorption of the black pots. I've previously grown veggeis in ~3 gallon pots with mostly good luck. I would agree that #5 would be better, but #15 sounds like overkill for the average home gardener. When you are growing 30+ plants in pots, my opinion is that it takes up too much space, requires too much potting mix and becomes too difficult if not impossible to move if necessary. However, probably important to note that I am in Minnesota and only grow plants for one season. If I was to grow them longer, I could certainly see the benefit of larger pots. This year, I'm going to test out the Walmart bag idea I have seen on this forum. I'll also test out a couple plants in pots larger than #5. Who knows, maybe next year I will be exclusively in Walmart bags or larger pots. |
This post was edited by brian6464 on Tue, Apr 15, 14 at 14:44
I'm in Zone 8 and even the black pots do OK, depending on the water schedule, shade, and certainly the potting soil's ability to retain moisture. Since you're OK to try different kinds of pots, then maybe you can also consider cardboard boxes. Those are gaining some bit of traction as a fun and different kind of container. It's likely 1 season only but there should be plenty available when you need the next supply. At the end of the season, you can even add it to your compost pile. |
Black pots are okay - usually. On a roof or highly reflective surface I'd worry. But on dirt you'll be okay. Besides, your plants will be big enough when the heat comes that the pot won't get much direct sun anyway. Dennis |
- Posted by the_yard_guy 5 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 15, 14 at 20:08
I use those black plastic pots every season and never had a problem with any plants dying from overheating. I'm in zone 5 so maybe it would be a bigger issue in a hotter zone. I have also used a few leftover white, red, and green pots and all worked fine. In a perfect world I might use all white pots to reflect heat but you rarely see them for sale in my area. During the very hot summer months you should keep the roots well supplied with water. Also try, if possible, to keep the plants shaded a bit during the very hot afternoon hours. TYG |
Well if you are going to grow indeterminate tomatoes, #15s are the way to go. |
nil13 - Agreed. I mainly pot peppers. Have done some tomatoes in pots, but never had great luck since I am gone alot and cannot consistenly water. Peppers are a little more forgiving. I'm planning on close to 30 varieties of peppers in a small suburban lot, so that is why I need to manage my pot size. |
Sounds like you need and irrigation valve and some spot spitters. |
Plastic is plastic, black or any color. The only difference is that BLACK absorbs heat and does NOT reflect any. That can warm up the soil under direct sun somewhat more than other colors. In my climate BLACK is a plus because we have much cooler temps ( Heat Zone 1). For the same reason I have covered my beds with black plastic. Probably in higher heat zones a lighter and brighter color can be better. |
I started researching the spot spitter idea after seeing it mentioned in another post. Anyone know if these are sold by any big retail outlets? Or is just certain authorized dealers? I'm potting up my first 4 Wally World bags this weekend. Wife thinks I'm crazy. We'll see. I'll be using 3 gallon black pots as well. Don't anticipate heat related troubles in MN. |
You have to order the spot spitters online. You aren't going to find them in a store unless you have a John Deere store nearby. |

For what it is worth, here is my attempt. I think the smaller pots in front are 3.5 gallon. They are 10". The ones on back are 15" and 17". I am very happy with the $33 drip irrigation kit (with timer) I got at Lowes on clearance. It is a Raindrip. I have two inline emitters in the big pots and one in the small. Right now I run them every 8 hours for 10 minutes. That seems to work for my semi-random soil, compost, and sand mix. I really like being able to leave for the weekend and to come back to happy tomatoes. |
- Posted by Slimy_Okra 2b (My Page) on Fri, Apr 18, 14 at 16:18
I use only black pots in my zone. Hot peppers are more heat-loving than bell peppers. Hot peppers, eggplant, okra and melons are adapted to heat and it is very difficult to "cook their roots" in a cool climate. In India, where eggplant originates, soil temperatures often exceed 100 degrees and production does not suffer. |
- Posted by johns.coastal.patio 9b (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 12:40
My photo in the previous message was taken on March 25. I took a picture this morning (April 19) to show progress since. I think the tomatoes (bought as 4" plants) look happy. I started eggplant and peppers from seed in the smaller pots. They popped up but are not doing much, I guess waiting for hotter weather. |

Toy Story 3 Review
It may not be the game you would want to get caught playing in public, but in a good way!
We were all left disappointed one way or another by movie turned videogames over the past few years. How many times did one of us pickup a game just because the movie was such a blast only last weekend, only to regret every penny we paid for the so called "game"? The issues in the genre range from lacking graphics to the fact that the developers are usually given very short time to finish the game and release it in time with the movie. Another problem with movie-to-videogame adaptations is how blindly the game follows the flick. You will spend 5 hours finishing scenes from the movie without any goals, targets and most importantly, without having a tiny bit of fun! The Toy Story series for us is the best thing since the Walkman (That is old school for you right there) and so a ton of anticipation surrounds every and any thing released under that name. Luckily for us, the game itself does not disappoint.
Firing up the game I was greeted right away with familiar faces, characters, scenes and voices. Which I considered to be a pretty good start, after all some games in this genre even fail at doing that. Scenes from the movie were all over the place, but I was not disappointed, but rather glad to see the creativity the developers put into this part of the game. As you progress through the story mode you will enjoy scenes and lines from the movie were you work on solving the problem or escaping what ever you are trying to escape. Nothing too complicated here. Young gamers will enjoy every last drip of the story, while older gamers can actually relive the movie and their own childhood with ease.
After completing the story mode, you will probably be left a bit disappointed. This is Toy Story 3 at the end of the day but you did not live the experience to the max yet. Here is where the developers stepped up big time with the license they had on hand. What do kids do with toys? They create an environment using each toy and live a fantasy filled world. This is exactly what young fans of the series will be doing in the Toy Box mode. This is an open Toy Story mode where you are in control of a town with all the toys you have seen in the movie living happily, each in its own little world. Each character will have its own environment and set of missions and goals for you to enjoy and complete.
With the Gameplay taken care of to a certain extent, all the game needed now is good graphics to match those stunning visuals we saw in the movie. Luckily for the fans of the series, the game does that as well. The characters all look lively and are very well animated. You will actually enjoy watching every move and act done by the characters in the game. In addition to the good graphics, the game comes with some very well done sound effects and voice acting. For sometime I actually forgot I was playing a game and was sucked into this simple world of Toy Story, only to wake up to my dog chewing on my pants.
Nothing too complicated here, Toy Story 3 is actually a perfect complement to the movie in theaters right now. It might not match the level of excitement or creativity found in the movie it self, but the fact that the developers did use everything they had on hand and made sure the game is more Toy Story then anything else, is good enough for us. Older gamers might find the game too simple to warrant a purchase or to be seen playing in public. I used the excuse of teaching my nephew how to play videogames, come up with your own excuses people. Quick!
The Scorecard | |||||||
Simple and fast, just the way it should be. |
A job well done, as we expected the worse since the movie is so gorgeous. | ||||
Funky sound effects and a very well done voice acting job. |
Story mode is too simple and short, toy box mode is very interesting though. | ||||
This is Toy Story and fun, what more do you want? |
We are glad we can finally play a game Toy Story game; now all we have to do is wait for Toy Story 4. The move and the game. |

From the Orlando Sentinel's Business Section:
Disney video may ease visitors' welcome to U.S.
Beth Kassab | Business Columnist
August 3, 2007
There are a surprising number of similarities in the way the Department of Homeland Security and Walt Disney greet visitors.
There's the bag search, the security cameras and the biometrics -- a quick finger scan at the gates of the Magic Kingdom and a fingerprint at the gates of our nation.

text: Singer-songwriter Witmer is man enough to admit he didn't listen to Nick Drake and John Martyn as an aspiring troubadour but, in fact, was reared on the popular acoustic rock canon. This album is a lovely homage to that canon's artists (Neil Young, Carole King, Jackson Browne, and others), a poignant journey through the past. Witmer's wispy, rice-paper arrangements keep things understated and uncomplicated, and the album is a tribute to the songs and his own spot-on instincts.

Hello ALL!
I hope you had a great week while we wind down
to the end of February.
I'm so ready for spring!
And although it's currently snowing as we speak
{big w.h.i.t.e. FLUFFY flakes}
I'm dreaming of longer days, fresh blooms, and the warm sun.
As much as I'm so ready for winter to be over,
there is still something magical about snow falling,
silent ~and~ peaceful.
Well, it's been a busy week putting together some custom sign orders,
and working on a few projects in the house.
Can't wait to share those with you!
Until then,
Here's my favorite Pins from this week.
Love the built ins here, of course all the white :)

The chippy old beach signs had me at hello.

So many things to point out in this bathroom.
The floor, plank walls, the light, and of course the vanity and sinks!

If Red turns out like I expect, John Malkovich is going to steal the show. That's because Malkovich plays a retired CIA assassin named Marvin Boggs and for 11 years he was given LSD on a daily basis. Let's just say it's left him a bit messed up. But even though his character is not normal by most people's definition, he's still sharp as a tact, and perhaps by the end of the movie, he'll save a lot of people's lives… But backing up a second, back...

Museum Helps Preserve Iconic Tortoise Lonesome George
by AMNH on
Lonesome George, the world-famous Pinta Island tortoise who was the last of his kind when he died in June 2012, will be preserved in consultation with Museum scientists and will be on display at the Museum for a limited time starting this winter before he is returned to the Galápagos.

This year, the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation (CBC) at the American Museum of Natural History celebrates 20 years dedicated to mitigating critical threats to global biodiversity.
Remembering Lonesome George
by AMNH on
On Sunday, the tree of life lost another member: Lonesome George, the famed last survivor of the Pinta Island tortoises (Chelonoidis abingdoni). Director of the Museum's Center for Biodiveristy and Conservation Eleanor Sterling has been in the Galápagos for the past few days. She recently answered a few questions about Lonesome George's passing and legacy.
What are you doing in the Galápagos?
Eleanor Sterling: The Galápagos National Park Service and the Galápagos Conservancy called together a meeting of experts on public participation in monitoring and conservation and I was invited as a specialist.
Who was Lonesome George?
Sterling: Lonesome George was a giant tortoise who was close to a century old and who was quite famous for being the last known representative of his species. And with his death, the whole species that was found on Pinta Island in the Galápagos is now extinct. There are other individuals who have some of the genes of Pinta Island tortoises, but he was last known individual to have the full genome of this species.
What role did humans play in the decline of his species?
Sterling: Seafaring individuals stopped by the Galápagos and collected tens of thousands of tortoises over the years. They packed their hulls with tortoises to use as food as they traveled around rest of world, because tortoises could last a long time without dying. Humans also introduced species such as rats to the islands where tortoises live, and those introduced species compete with tortoises for food or depredate on their young and eggs.
Eleanor Sterling Receives Mentoring Award

Field Report: Burk GSC3000
The broadcast engineer is unique in that he can never truly be off the clock. We can all recount endless numbers of midnight phone calls, family vacations dotted with ringing cell phones and daily e-mails, and the occasional drive in to the station to reset something — or worse. Heck, I drove my family from Tampa to Detroit non-stop to fix an STL problem. The fact is, engineers know this is part of their gig and we grudgingly accept it. Of course, who among us would turn away from technology that would allow us to return to our normal lives sooner? The obvious answer: remote facility control.
Gentner designed and built the VRC-1000 touch-tone transmitter remote control system back in the late 1980s. Back then it was a welcome addition to the WRIF transmitter plant because it allowed the engineers to interact with the transmitter without the impediment of a baffled, disinclined or distracted disc jockey on the other end of the phone. Now engineers would be on the front line in the event of a failure or out of tolerance condition; the VRC-1000 would phone an engineer, instead of simply flickering the oft-ignored alarm lamp in the corner of the studio.
Performance at a glance |
Multiple communication options
Expandable to 128 channels Multiple alarm reporting options Logging capability via site captures Ability to store macros Lynx software configuration tool with custom screen creation application Available Web interface with e-mail and SMS alerting |
Gentner dutifully evolved the VRC-1000. Subsequent introductions of the VRC-2000 and the GSC3000 represented the company's efforts to remain parallel with advancements in technology and customer demand. In April 2001, Gentner sold its remote facilities management (RFM) products to Burk Technology. Burk's core business is RFM, so it was a good fit. Burk took the GSC3000 and VRC2500 under its wing and developed software and hardware for the platforms alongside its existing Arc-16 product and accessories.
Post Burk, the GSC3000 has seen the development of Lynx 5, a PC software tool with several enhancements, a handful of directly connected accessories known as G-Link, as well as upgraded internals.
For the unacquainted, the GSC3000 combines all aspects of remote facilities management. It's capable of monitoring, metering and status, issuing commands, collecting data via snapshots (Burk calls them captures) and running macros. The included Lynx software will run on a PC with minimal hardware requirements and provides the primary user interface. A typical site's hardware consists of a GSC3000 I/O unit connected via multi-pair cables to wiring interface panels for metering and status termination and command relay units. Phoenix connectors are provided for wiring ease. The optional voice interface connects to the G-Bus (RS-485) and a Web interface can be connected via RS-232.
The core of the system is the single rack space I/O unit. Available in eight and 16 channels, it has two nine-pin serial ports, two RS-485 (G-Bus) ports, and 37-pin D connectors for wiring interface panels and command relay connection. As many as 16 I/O units can be connected via the G-Bus, providing 256 channels of metering, status and command. The I/O unit can run macros, capture status/metering for logging, issue commands and issue alarms if conditions warrant. Scheduling of commands, captures and macros is also possible.
Command and control accessories
Also a single-rack unit, Wiring Interface Panels provide a convenient termination point via Phoenix connectors. They connect to the I/O via the 37-pin cable. The wiring interface is entirely passive. One is required for metering and another for status inputs.
The Command Relay Unit is an eight-channel unit that incorporates its own power supply for the 16 internal relays. Phoenix connectors and a 37-pin connector occupy the rear panel. Each command channel has two relays so on/off or up/down commands can be implemented for any single function. Two of these are needed to complete an I/O 16.
Forced to live at the logical end of the G-Bus (unit ID #16), the Voice Interface reports alarms and answers incoming calls. It provides for touch-tone interrogation of the system responding with a decidedly robotic voice. A modem can be connected here for dial-up access using the Lynx software.
The Web interface allows the user to interact with I/O units at the site by way of a Web browser and Java, or by IP connection and the Lynx software. The Web interface also sends SMTP e-mail to report alarms. SMS text messaging is supported.
Lynx software, the PC software that provides a viewport and configuration tool, started life in the Gentner offices and received a complete revamping at the hands of Burk. Users can create and view custom screens, calibrate metering, create and execute macros, issue commands, and view metering and status. The software provides a means for connection to multiple sites using any of several connection methods. Custom screens can be created and edited using Burk's custom screen editor application. This allows you to choose which commands, meters and status channels to display. You can choose from several meters, buttons and lamp styles. Choose a background and display them in any layout.
Burk has recently introduced the ability to create virtual channels. These can make complex calculations based on input conditions and mathematical calculations providing "a way to link a single on-screen meter or status channel to several different conditions." Boolean expressions are also supported.

Recovering From Identity Theft or Fraud
AGO ID Theft Brochure for Consumers
FTC Publication: Take Charge (includes affidavit for victims)
Federal Trade Commission: Identity Theft
Which are you?
As a victim of identity theft or fraud, you should take the following steps as soon as possible.
1. Place a fraud alert and/or security freeze on your credit reports.
You can a place a fraud alert with one, simple phone call. This can help prevent an identity thief from opening additional accounts in your name, but doesn't block potential new credit like a security freeze. As soon as the credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the other two credit bureaus will automatically be notified to place fraud alerts, and all three credit reports will be sent to you free of charge. Once you receive the reports, review them carefully for accounts you didn't open, debts you can't explain or inaccurate information.
A security freeze is even stronger and prevents your files from being shared with potential creditors. A security freeze can help prevent identity theft since most businesses will not open credit accounts without checking a consumer's credit history first. You, too, will not be able to open new credit while a freeze is in place. Individuals can request that a freeze be temporarily lifted for the purpose of obtaining new credit.
2. Report the crime to your bank, creditors and credit reporting agencies.
Ask to speak to someone in the security or fraud department. They may advise you to close your accounts and start over with new ones. Also, ask your financial institution what procedures they require of victims whose credit cards or checks have been stolen or forged.
Within 30 days of receiving proof of a consumer's identification and a copy of a filed police report verifying the consumer's claim that he or she is the victim of identity theft, a credit reporting agency must permanently block information from a credit report that may be the result of identity theft.
3. Report the crime to the police or sheriff's office in the area where you live or where the crime occurred.
Identity theft is a felony, and charges may be filed against the thief in the county where you live or where the crime took place. Ask the police to make a police report and give you a copy. You will need this to help correct your credit rating.
4: Send a copy of the police report to the three major consumer-reporting agencies.
The credit bureaus are required to block information victims identify as resulting from identify theft. Once the three consumer-reporting agencies receive the police report and a request from you, they are required to block any adverse credit reports resulting from the crime.
5: Ask businesses to provide you with information about transactions made in your name.
By law, businesses must give you this information, but may require proof of your identity -- including a copy of the police report and your fingerprints. If you need to obtain your fingerprints for this purpose, the Washington State Patrol provides this service. You will pay a fee and will have to wait for processing before you receive a letter notifying you that the fingerprints are on file. Businesses refusing to provide information to you may be subject to actual damages, plus a $1,000 penalty for willful violations. You may present this letter to businesses and creditors as proof of your identity.
Here is a template for a letter that you can complete and send to businesses to request records.
6: Contact the Federal Trade Commission's Identity Theft Hotline, 1-877-IDTHEFT or visit the FTC's ID Theft web site. Among other things, the FTC site provides a uniform ID Theft Affidavit that is accepted and endorsed by many businesses.
Additional Considerations:
Tell the prosecuting attorney that if the person who stole your identity is found guilty, you'd like the court to issue you an Order Correcting Public Records. This is a court order you can use to correct public records damaged by identity theft. Show the Order Correcting Records to your bank and send a copy to your creditors so they can correct your records.
Be prepared for contacts from creditors who may want you to pay the debts of identity thieves who used stolen or fake checks to make purchases or pay bills in your name. Explain to them that you have been the victim of identity theft. Provide them with the police report and, if you have one, an Order Correcting Records. Once the collection agency has been notified that the debt is a result of an identity theft, under the law the collection agency may not continue to call you. This prevents victims from being inundated with calls for every misused check if they have had a box or book of checks stolen or forged.
Although calls might stop, you may still be subject to legal action by credit agencies. However, there are limits on what a collection agency can do to try to collect a debt from you. Specifically, a collection agency may not call a debtor more than once in 180 days in order to collect on debts associated with an identity theft, as long as the victim forwards information regarding the alleged theft to the collection agency.
The victim must provide:
(Under certain limited circumstances a collection agency may be free of liability for repeated oral contacts with a debtor, contacts that would otherwise violate the statute. A collection agency does not violate the statute if it acts in good faith and the contacts fall under any one of several specified exceptions.)
If your information has been lost or stolen, here are steps detect misuse and help prevent potential future misuse:
Click here for instructions on requesting a fraud alert or security freeze.
2. Monitor your financial accounts, billing statement and credit reports for any suspicious activity.
You may request a free annual credit report from each of the major nationwide credit bureaus at www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228.

Doesn't hold a curl, doesn't separate lashes, super wet formula... I reallyyy wanted to love this mascara after reading all the racing reviews but this does nothing for my already long think but straight lashes, even though I curl them very curly. Nothing so far has beat my HG waterproof lash blast.
Alright, so I wanted to try this sooooo bad and I finally got it! I've been using it for a week now and I am loving it! If you want length, this will make you look like your wearing false lashes. It lengthens and separates very well! It gives my lashes the perfect amount of volume without looking clumpy. You can add as many coats as needed without making it look like your wearing a bunch of mascara. I'm in LOVE with this
Something that really got me loving it is that when I went to swim class with it on, it didn't budge not one bit. No flakes, no runny mascara, nothing. It stayed put even in water which surprised me because it isn't waterproof.
The only downfall is that it takes forever to dry. My lashes stay wet for like 5 minutes, so what I like to do is take a blow dryer and dry my lashes on the cold setting so it doesn't smudge or anything.
The wand may be difficult to use for people who aren't used to skinny brushes.
Overall, amazing job L'Oreal! I will repurchase this

I was at Target the other day,and was browsing through the mascara section and.I noticed the Telescopic mascara in carbon black.So, I decided to purchase it and try it out.
It gave me beautiful long black fanned out lashes.It lengthens and volumizes my lashes the way I like my lashes to look.I was pleased with my purchase.
I highly .reccomend,and would buy again.

This mascara is so so so so so clumpy! The formula is very wet and the wand makes it impossible to separate the lashes. By the end of the application, it looks like I only have about 5 eyelashes. Not buying again.
One of my favorite mascaras, including high end. Very black, very glossy. Nice and moist without being too wet. Gives great separation while not sacrificing any volume. Long, thick, defined lashes. A friend of mine even remarked "Your eyelashes look great!" while I was wearing this, and I have loads of mascaras.

The only mascara I ever use! It makes my lashes like 5x bigger. I've been using it for years! HG!

I can see why many people like this mascara. The tiny bristles and the small flexible tip of the wand can reach every lash from root to end!!! This product elongates the lashes very beautifully and once the black formula dries, it does not seem to flake or damage the curl achieved, which is great! It reminded me of Mary Kay's Lash Love mascara because the wand is almost identical! If you build this on your lashes with around 3 coats, the length will be so great you probably won't need to use falsies on a night out either. Now, that's just all about the good things I can say about this mascara.
If you have scarce lashes, you will love this because it will create volume coating everything evenly. But if you're like me, and have a lot of curly lashes, this product will clump them together with black gunk and it will be a mess! Because the tiny bristles on the wand are not big enough to comb through every single lash so it will be just a clump of black film you will have to remove with tissue paper. The bristles are TINY, so small I think the company should have made it clear that this is only for girls with straight, scarce, non existent lashes. The tip of the wand is not like a tiny brush, it's more like a tiny stick.
The volume achieved with this is clumpy, your lashes might look like spider legs, not natural at all. So, overall, although this mascara has huge potential, it is definitely not for me! I'll just stay faithful to my Etude House 3 Step Volumecara, although I don't really regret this purchase, I bought it on sale, 40% off so it costed me like $5. Hope this review helps some of you guys!
Wore it all day and it flakes! Like crazy! Big no no for me!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This would have to be one of the only drugstore mascaras that I can tolerate using. Normally I dont try drugstore mascaras (because of MANY previous disappointments), but I heard good reviews about this on YouTube. The price is great, I think it was about $12.99 in Canada and often it will go on buy one get one free. I usually look for more of a lengthening effect in mascara; Im less concerned about volume. This mascara gave very good length, and moderate volume. The problem I have with Telescopic is that I find it can look spidery in a hurry. I use a lash comb to separate my lashes, but sometimes it is difficult to achieve that pretty, separated look I am going for. The brush is a plastic comb-like brush, which I quite liked; it didnt hurt my inner eyelids as so many plastic brushes do. The name is also spot-on, it is extremely pigmented and VERY black! I would repurchase this if I was on a tight budget and couldnt afford department store mascara, but as of now I wont be recommending it to anyone.
This is my favorite mascara that I've ever tried, even compared to some high end ones from Urban Decay and Bare Minerals. While it's not super voluminizing, it is amazing in terms of lengthening, defining, and holding a curl, which is what I want in a mascara. I highly recommend it.

Rothay Garden Hotel & Riverside Spa
4 | AA Assessed Hotel | Ratings explained |
Rothay Garden provides the comfort, quality and peace and quiet that so many visitors to the Lake District look for. Owned and operated by Chris Carss and his dedicated team since 1990, the hotel has this year benefitted from a £3 million redevelopment programme. Today, the hotel's 30 beautiful bedrooms, including 12 gorgeous suites, are an ideal base for a perfect short break in The Lakes.
The stylish Garden Restaurant overlooking the hotel's two acres of gardens, chic lounge bars, two AA-rosette awarded food and a delightful new Riverside Spa all combine to ensure that guests can have the short break or holiday that they deserve. And just outside the hotel, the renowned Lake District awaits - Grasmere really is the "jewel of the Lakes" and is, of course, centrally situated for Ambleside, Windermere, Keswick and Kendal.
All the bedrooms and suites at Rothay Garden offer great en-suite facilities, satellite tv, welcome tray, hairdryer and complementary toiletries and bathrobes. Many of the bedrooms are on the ground floor, and half of the rooms have superb six-foot wide King Size beds (with the remainder having luxurious five-foot Queen Size beds). All the rooms have excellent views over the nearby fells, and many have their own patios or balconies overlooking the gardens or the babbling river Rothay.
Unlike a traditional hotel restaurant, the two-rosette Garden Restaurant at Rothay Garden is an attraction in its own right, with its contemporary furniture, clean elegant lines and great views overlooking the hotel's two acres of gardens. The hotel's kitchens are managed by Head Chef Andrew Burton, who has been at the hotel with Chris Carss for nearly 20 years and is one of only 300 Masterchefs of Great Britain.
The new Riverside Spa was opened in 2011 and offers hotel guests an exclusive facility including Hydrospa, Herbal Pine Sauna, Aromatherapy Room, Monsoon Feature Showers, Infrared Loungers and an amazing Reflexology Walk. It's the ideal place to chill out and relax - or enjoy a chilled glass of wine or a cold beer before dinner.
Poet William Wordsworth described Grasmere at "the loveliest spot that man hath ever known", and there's no doubt that the village is both the geographical and cultural centre of the Lake District, still personifying charm and "olde worlde" English heritage.
Please note a £100 refundable deposit is taken at the time of booking.
Children over 5 are welcome to stay at the hotel. Please note the property does not have a lift.
