Hi All,
I drove all over town today looking for concrete reinforcing wire for tomato cages. It seems it's only available in 150 ft rolls. (Which would yield 25 cages... way more that I need!). Does anyone know where I could find 50 ft rolls? OR... anyone else in Middle TN need some sturdy tomato cages? I'd have 17 for sale, LOL. I've checked with neighbors et al, and all either don't need cages, or don't garden (gasp!!). Thoughts? --JC |
Follow-Up Postings:
Bummer! Thank you for doing the footwork for the rest of us. I was thinking of getting some of this myself, but that amount would also be too much for me. I'd also only need about 8 total cages. Anyone else need some? I'm in Nashville, maybe I could take some of this off your hands but it'd be great if someo other folks did too to make it worth getting that much. |
I'd be happy to sell the remainder of my roll at cost. If memory serves (it was all getting kind of foggy yesterday, lol), a 150 ft roll was $120 (plus tax), so 50 ft would work out to $43.90 (including tax). I also only need 8 cages, so if you're interested, ccmarks, I'd be happy to buy the wire and meet you somewhere in Nashvegas in the next few days. (I live north of Goodlettsville, but am always in and around Nashville for work.) Let me know what works best for you. Thanks! |
Fred's sells tomato cages for 2 bucks each. |
And walgreens sells Pepto Bismol. Both are equally effective at holding up a large indeterminate tomato in anything above a gentle breeze. |

Ha ha ha! Pepto bismol **cracks up** Omigosh too funny! Well tomato cages do work well - for eggplants, peppers and such. But I think making your own cages for actual tomatoes is probably the way to go:) sheesh, I'm still snickering... |

Jon, I may have some friends interested in going in on a partial roll. How do we contact you? Your member page doesn't have an email link. I think recently GW had an update or something, and reset most of us to where our email links aren't active. If you go to "member pages" at the bottom of any page, then to where you edit your preferences, then you'll see where to select the box marked "Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site". Plus you can do all sorts of other nifty things like start a swap list, tell us all about yourself and such:) |
Hmmm... I tried checking the box just like you said, but got this error repeatedly (in case there are any admin code warriors around, lol): api/persons/39386176 PUT 400 Validation errors found type invalid Anyway, Heather, I'll try emailing you through GW now with my contact info. Technology is fun, isn't it? ;-) |

Data last updated Dec. 26, 2009
Please note there are several limitations to the database:
- This database includes nurses who faced disciplinary action between 2002 and September 2009, as well as any subsequent actions against these nurses. .
- Employers and patients seeking verification of a nurse's license should use the Web site of the Board of Registered Nursing.
- Multiple nurses may have the same name, but each has a unique license number.
- The information on the database is based on the Web site of the Board of Registered Nursing and state documents. In some cases, the Web site and documents conflict; in such cases, reporters used dates included in the board's documents.
- Documents for some cases are missing from the site in whole or in part.
- The database does not include discipline against nurses meted out as a condition of being licensed. Such discipline is only included if the nurse subsequently faced board action.
- The grounds listed for discipline in this database are based on the board's public allegations against the nurses. Because accusations are sometimes written in an unclear or inconsistent manner, reporters did not try to guess the intent.
- This database includes discipline against some nurses who have subsequently died. The board has removed many of these nurses from its Web site. They are included here because they faced disciplinary action during the period examined.

We are installing some recessed lighting in our kitchen ceiling. The ceiling is completely open. The ceiling joists are 2x4s (full 4" tall) and the space above is dead space/attic.
My understanding of electrical code is that when wiring perpendicular to joists the wire must pass through holes in the joists, not above the joists. It's also my understanding that wires/holes must be 1.25" from the edge of studs or 2" from the edge of joists. This doesn't seem possible in this case, unless I am missing some exception for attic spaces? Or should I just go with boring a hole at the center of the joist and using nail plates? Thanks for your help. |

What is above the joists? How is the space above the joists used? |
It's not used at all. It is dead space - about 2 feet under the roof rafters. No insulation. |
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Wed, Mar 7, 12 at 22:45
Is this already a finished space? You don't have to worry about bored holes or other securing when pulling through existing ceilings. What is the kind of ceiling? If it is a suspended ceiling it does need to be held up off it. |
- Posted by bus_driver (My Page) on Thu, Mar 8, 12 at 7:25
If the attic space is more than 6 feet from an access point or not accessible, installing the cable on top of the joists is permissible. |

Elysium wowed a lot at last year's Comic-Con, so it's no surprise were amped to see anything new from the film. The new film from the director of District 9, Neill Blomkamp, Elysium is a gritty sci-fi action piece that centers around the divide between the rich living on a pristine space-station, and the poor who have to reside on an overpopulated, polluted Earth. Check out the photo, featuring the star Matt Damon below.
The photo is pretty similar to the first look at the film we got, with bald Damon sporting some kind of exoskeleton and a gun.
The film also stars Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, William Fichtner, Alice Braga, Diego Luna, and Wagner Moura Elysium will hit theaters on August 9, 2013.
In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) will stop at nothing to preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium – but that doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in by any means they can. Max (Matt Damon) agrees to take on a life-threatening mission, one that could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

Southwest 101
January 14, 2011
Feel desert heat without risking heatstroke.
The Cuts:
Large cuts of beef (chuck roast), pork roast, chicken, and the occasional rattlesnake.
The Method:
Native American, Mexican, Spanish and cowboy influences and techniques are strong. Generally a high-heat method and short-cooking times.
The Sauce:
Chile peppers of all size, shape and heat are stars of the show. Cilantro (leafy coriander), pinon nuts, pistachios, tomatillos, jicama and limes are also important ingredients.
The Sides:
Frijoles (particularly pinto beans), tortillas, chile rellenos, spicy corn salsas, cornbread and fresh tamales with sopapillas (a fried pastry/bready delight) for dessert.
The Backstory:
Indigenous tribes of the Southwest have a deep impact on the region's food. Despite the intrusion of the Spanish, European and Federal governments, the Zuni Pueblo, Mojave, Youma, Pima, Navajo, Apache and Hopi tribes remain solid. They continue nurturing their cultures while enriching the culinary traditions of the Southwest.

I don't know the names of these plants. These are wild flowers that grow along tourist paths in Xinjiang, China. That is to the north of Tibet, to the east of Tajikistan, to the South of Russia and to the West of Gobi desert. It is believed that the climate and fauna were very much like South Africa before the Ice Age. Fossils of animals resembling giraffes, rhinos and cheetahs are found. Then, the the weather cooled and the the Himalayas rose and the area dried up. A few mountains also rose up. Actually a number of Asian gazelles are found here, like the saiga, the Mongolian gazelle, also the Przewalski's horse. But the snow leopard replaced the cheetah. |

I'm new to the forum and need some advice on a greenhouse to overwinter our tropicals. I'm in Central Texas and our winters are usually pretty mild. The greenhouse would be located on the south side of the house. I'm considering the Snap & Grow 6x12. I really don't have room to go any wider than 6 feet and this one fits the budget. Does anyone have a Snap & Grow greenhouse or have any information on them? |

In looking at the specifications for the snap & grow, they are offered with single layer polycarbonate panels. If you are planning to add heat during the winter, single layer requires approximately double the energy input of double layer polycarbonate. Even in zone 8, which we both are, the difference can be significant. |

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — A longtime motel on the city's west side was destroyed early Monday when a fire tore through the structure.
The fire started at the Lincolnwood Motel at 3300 Lincoln Way W. about 4 a.m. and took several hours for firefighters to contain.

I entered this world, not as a digital native, but on the cusp of Gens X and Y, aligning my formative years with those of the burgeoning digital revolution. I am endlessly fascinated by the evolving ways we connect with each other, and excited by the possibilities presented by the democratization of communication.
As someone who has built a career in non-profit communications, I wonder what all this can teach us about ourselves -- our nature, our culture -- and how we can use our tools and connections for good.
Are we ego-centric narcissists or savvy self-marketers? Is technology creating self-imposed prisons of social isolation, or giving voice to those otherwise unheard? From identity theft to the Arab Spring, how do we avoid the looming dangers of digital destruction, while embracing the seemingly endless possibilities to enhance our lives and communities?
What do you think? What are you creating? What do you have to say? Let us all inform, amuse, enlighten and inspire one another, shall we?

In 2001 we had the opportunity to acquire 3 peregrine falcon chicks to raise (hack) and release in hopes that they, or other peregrines, would end up nesting here on campus. Peregrines have adapted well to living in cities and nesting on tall building ledges that act as cliff ledges – their natural nesting habitat. "Hacking" is the process of raising peregrine chicks in a Hack box, usually from a high tower or building to which they will adapt as they grow to maturity and fly. A student naming contest named them Odin, Thor and Loki after the 3 Norsk Gods of mythology. Adam Lohmeyer, St. Olaf student, conducted independent research on the peregrines over the summer under the direction of Gene Bakko, Biology Dept.
At the start we banded the birds, drew blood samples for future DNA identification, and marked them with bright orange spots or stripes for visual ID after release while they were still around campus their first summer.
Greg Menning, St. Olaf carpenter, built our hack box according to specifications that included dimensions of about 4'x6'x4' high which had one side with bars that provided an open view. It also had a small side door to allow us to get in to clean, a side peep hole to check on them without disturbing them, and a drop hatch in the top through which we fed them daily with small dead quail (purchased from a supplier of quail exclusively for falconers). The hack box was placed on the roof of Larson Dorm along with a live video cam feed and a recording camera. Greg also built our nest box which hangs over the north side of Larson Dorm today.
Peregrine falcons are the fastest organism on planet Earth. They prey mainly on birds in the air by hitting them at high speeds in a dive up to 240 mph. They do not catch the birds in air but hit them hard enough to kill them or severely injure them so they fall to the ground where the peregrine feeds on them – or brings them to the nest for the young. Young peregrines must learn excellent flying skills early and have been observed practicing on catching everything from butterflies to great blue herons. Their prey are usually crow size or smaller with robin sized birds being about average.
On the day of release (early July) the crowd down below gave out a cheer as the first bird appeared on a papapet of Larson Dorm. From that day on until mid-September, Peregrine falcon sightings were a daily occurrence on campus with the water tower being one of their favorite perches.
End Remarks : Dr. Harrison (Bud) Tordoff, retired ornithologist at the Univ. of Minnesota, was the primary person for the restoration of peregrine falcons in the central states of the U. S. He was the person who enabled us to get Odin, Thor and Loki from a local falconer who raises them. Dave Burton, Bio. Tech. in the Biology Dept. first contacted Bud about acquiring the birds. Bud was instrumental in helping to set up and guide us through this project. He died in 2008 at age 85. Thor disappeared within 3 days after release, probably due to predation by a great horned owl, their main predator when they are young. Odin and Loki remained around campus and could be seen most every day until mid-September when they disappeared, assuming for migration. Loki was positively identified in 2003 with a female near the Hastings, MN, railroad trestle bridge. While no peregrines have returned to campus to nest, they have been sighted over and around campus every year since 2001. With breeding peregrines in the Twin Cities, along the Mississippi River, and in Rochester, Bud Tordoff said that after our 2001 activities, every peregrine within a 50 mile radius will be aware of our nesting site and we need to be patient as there is still a good chance peregrines will come here to nest. You can see our peregrine nest box hanging from the north side of Larson Dorm today. Coincidentally, another young peregrine falcon was injured near Stillwater, MN, during summer, 2004. It was rehabilitated at the MN Raptor Center at the Univ. of MN and released from Larson Dorm in August, 2004. We named him Lars.

I'm hoping to learn from someone who knows more about fluorescent lighting than I've managed to accumulate through web searching.
I have an unheated garage workshop on the San Francisco peninsula. In the winter it is often around 50F, in the summer, especially near the ceiling where my lighting is installed, it can get quite warm. I gather from information at the Lighting Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute website, the smaller the diameter of a fluorescent tube, the narrower its performance profile as a function of temperature. See: http://www.lrc.rpi.edu/programs/nlpip/lightingAnswers/lat5/pc10.asp At 50F, a T8 bulb is down to 75% output and a T5 is down to 40%. The optimum temperature for a T8 is ~75F and for a T5 it is 95F. See the thumbnail below from ImageShack: [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/404/lrct5t8vstempgraph.jpg/][IMG]http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/2729/lrct5t8vstempgraph.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Uploaded with [URL=http://imageshack.us]ImageShack.us[/URL] I did not find a similar graph for T12 bulbs, but suspect that it is shifted slightly to lower temperatures and is even less steep in its falloff. I am accustomed to the light output of two ancient 4 bulb 40W fixtures equipped with magnetic ballasts that require starters. I am ready to scrap these. One ballast overheated recently and I've not replaced it. I understand that the government has mandated the elimination of magnetic ballasts. See: https://www.google.com/search?complete=0&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1024&bih=587&q=%22magnetic+ballast%22+phase+out&btnG=Google+Search&gbv=2 There seems to be a move to eliminate the T12 bulb in favor of the T8, but I doubt this will be important in my working lifetime (~10 years at best.) Much of the attention seems to be focused on lumens/watt efficiency and not total lumens per fixture, especially over a range of ambient temperatures. I have several 40W T12 fixtures, two 2-bulb units with electronic ballasts and many single lamp strip lights with magnetic ballasts. I understand that with T8 electronic ballasts installed, these fixtures would allow the use of T8 bulbs. Does it make sense to move from T12 to T8 by changing out all of my ballasts? Does it make sense for me to replace the T12 magnetic ballasts in my strip lights, or should I leave well enough alone and just install them as needed? I do not want to go to unneeded expense only to find that I am getting less light for my aging eyes than I now have. Opinions? Thanks, baumgrenze |

I would just change them as needed. My assumption is that the garage is used for storage and hobbies in addition to auto parking and the number of hours of use per day is limited. In my experience, fluorescent tubes tend to heat themselves a bit after few minutes of operation. This is not say the the temperature rise is to ideal levels, but light output gradually improves. I have the usual T-12 in my shop which can get below 20 degs. They work, dimly at first. Cold breezes on fluorescent tubes are not good for proper operation. |
Make sure you get ballasts rated for low temperature operation. |
Fixtures with magnetic ballasts that take T12 bulbs aren't even legal in the US anymore (the phase-out got much less public attention and controversy than the current phase-out of incandescent 60/75/100w bulbs since consumers are more familiar and dependent on these). Replacement ballasts and bulbs for existing fixtures remain available. I'd change over to the T8s anyway because they're more efficient, and the electronic ballasts don't hum or flicker. Cold-weather-start ballasts are available, but I've found standard T8 ballasts often work fine in garages even on 20F winter days. |

Prior to entering private practice, Alan Saltman was an Attorney-Advisor at the Government Accountability Office, and thereafter has successfully prosecuted enumerable bid protests and contract disputes involving all types of contracts. Rick Goeken, for the past 17 years, has also concentrated his practice on federal contracts including those related to the sale of natural resources, access to federal lands, forest fire litigation and compliance with federal environmental rules. Bill Davis' practice focuses on construction litigation, including, mechanic's lien actions, Miller Act claims, as well as insurance and surety disputes.
Also working out of both the DC office and the firm's Atlanta office are Steve Reed and Charles Surasky. Steve served for 18 years as an Administrative Judge and Hearing Examiner with the Corps of Engineers and the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals. Charles specializes in the trial and arbitration of complex construction disputes involving both private and government construction contracts.

A union of Middle Eastern and Western cultures, Fire N Ice Hookah Bar combines the laid-back charm of a hookah lounge with the music and swank of a nightclub. Customers roam through the electric bi-level space flooded by soft colorful lighting before picking their poison—hookah, drinks, food, or all three.
In the hookah lounge, they curl up on plush sofas cushioned by satiny pillows and reach out every so often to grasp the hookah pipe as it's passed around, inhaling any one of 25 exotic hookah flavors. The smoke spirals up toward Middle Eastern tapestries hanging overhead or snakes around the top-shelf cocktails perched beside the pipe. It even intermingles briefly with the aromas wafting from Middle Eastern dishes—such as chicken tikka, korma sliders, and kebabs—before vanishing into the air as quickly as a magician at a science fair.
As the night lingers on, Fire N Ice begins its transformation into a full-blown nightclub. Belly dancers take to the stage first, twisting and shimmying across the spacious dance floor. By 11 p.m., the club's three DJs begin spinning top R & B and hip-hop hits intermixed with a few Arabian jams, signaling to guests that it's their turn to hit the floor.
The banners of New York's sports teams hang from the ceiling at Play Sports Bar, a space lined with flat-screen TVs tuned to sporting events all while more than 100 different beers flow from the bar. The diverse selection of bottles and drafts, many of them craft beers, complements a menu of traditional sports-bar fare such as burgers, wings, and pizza that can be molded into a football. On nights throughout the week, the bar is enlivened by events such as live music, beer tastings, and karaoke.
Head chef Andrew DiCataldo helms Patria Restaurant and Mixology Lounge, crafting Latin fusion cuisine so artfully executed it moved the New York Times to advise readers: "Don't miss the place". DiCataldo's menu highlights classic ingredients such as avocado, plantains, and queso fresco, presenting them in contemporary updates of traditional Latin dishes. Patria and its afterhours lounge are divided in both atmosphere and décor, alternating between the restaurant's scarlet walls, rich wood furniture, and luxurious curtains, and the lounge's cool-toned lights, well-stocked bars, and wizards attempting to resurrect disco.
The sizzling of Cajun batter-fried shrimp mingles with the sweet twang of acoustic guitars and smoky jazz vocals. This distinct bouquet of sounds and smells is the essence of The Crossroads, a venue that describes itself as an amalgamation of classic Cajun and American stylings: "[It's] as if NY and N'awlins had a baby and moved to the suburbs." Patrons can sate their appetites with a menu of soul and Cajun fare escorted by a choice of libations, including more than 40 martinis. Nightly musical guests have included local and national acts spanning the genres of jazz, bluegrass, and classic-rock cover bands. Nightly events and specials keep energy high. Every Tuesday, guests pay no cover charges and can climb onstage with their finely tuned instruments or an array of water-filled pint glasses for the open Jazz Jam with the house's trio of musicians.
Large pots regularly crowd the burners in Vinhus Restaurant & Lounge's kitchen. A peek into the cauldrons reveals bubbling mixtures of seafood suggestive of what might happen if chefs strolled through a fish market and scooped up a few things from every stand—one combinations in particular pairs lobster, clams, and shrimp with a choice of green or red sauce.
These seafood surfeits belong to a menu inspired by Portugal's seafaring traditions, complete with dishes such as grilled cod with skinned potato chunks, roasted peppers, and onions. The menu reaches east, as well, pulling flavors from Spain, France, Italy, and the Mediterranean into dishes such as veal marsala or a seafood plate whose lobster comes accented with chorizo, chicken, and saffron rice.
The fresh seafood and sizzling steaks perfume a dining room whose wooden floors and taupe-colored walls set the stage for decor including neatly arranged lighting fixtures, attractive artwork, and verdant foliage. Before or after meals, guests can retreat to the lounge, where patrons sip spirited beverages beneath a slanted ceiling that offers its protection to the room's roaring fireplace.
Though Fushimi Modern Japanese Cuisine & Lounge's menu and daily specials board boast French-inspired fusion food, its sushi is deeply rooted in tradition?and this combination has earned its dishes Zagat ratings and a Michelin recommendation. Chefs may reinterpret the presentation of Japanese staples?such as the tuna sashimi, which they set on broad leaves next to bean-sprout-entangled roe?but they still stay true to traditional flavors. By contrast, cooked fusion entrees tend to incorporate the unconventional, such as the tuna burger with spicy aioli, available on the weekend brunch menu, and the mushroom risotto made with black rice (a dish praised by New York Magazine in their critics' pick review.)
At all locations, the decor also melds old and new. At the bar at the Staten Island location, crimson light filters through a canopy of metallic foliage, casting a moody aura across Buddhist statuettes imported from Asia. The neon-lit Williamsburg location has a sleeker feel, its booths nestled in large circular openings that bring to mind subway tunnels or the oversized portholes of Paul Bunyan's mythical submarine. In Bay Ridge, the stateliness of traditional chandeliers contrasts with the bold colors of wall-sized photographs.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Wed. as appropriate.

I am just posing a question now so that we start thinking about how this
affects foreign affairs, which I know some AORs have done more than
others (particularly East Asia with the Yuan issue). I am guessing China
will care most about the result of the election since they are normally
worried about a Democrat controlled House. However, the Republicans
coming into the House may not be the same free-trade Republicans Beijing
is used to. Not when they're riding on a populist waive of economic
disenchantment. I don't think we can be as safe in predicting that this
Republican controlled House will be as soft on China as those in the
past, particularly not if they want to make Obama's life more difficult.
Iran issue was addressed by George in the weekly. Might bear repeating.
In terms of how this affects U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq I am
guessing not much. Afterall the President is the Commander-in-Chief and
he gets to influence foreign policy in this regard. However, note that
in the last elections in 2006 we wrote that Bush lost ability to lead in
foreign affairs because his leadership became toxic. This was a
different case because Bush was already a lame duck, the thrashing
Republicans received in 2006 only confirmed it more. The rhetoric around
Obama's presidency is the same. I don't think the situation is the same,
however, because Obama is polling quite well, according to Rasmussen
poll his numbers are at 50% (although his enthusiastic supporters are
dwarfed by his enthusiastic detractors). He is nowhere near where Bush
was in 2006. Now two years is a long time. In the meantime, Obama could
be found in bed with a 13 year old Thai boy, some K-Y and copies of the
Qur'an... or the economy could recover before the election and Obama
fights OBL with his bare hands.
(Economy is an interesting issue. To what extent does this affect U.S.
economy I am not really able to speak to. Peter? Reinfrank?)
Europe will be able to write quirky op-eds about how the Americans have
gone mad and the Tea Party is secretly gaining control of the country.
Nothing really changes. Central Europe may think that tides are turning,
but they know that Obama is still in the drivers' seat.
This will be the biggest story tomorrow by far. The time of final
results lends itself to a good diary discussion Some recent George
pieces on midterm elections (2006 ones):

MSO delivers a rhythmic, stylish holiday event
Some years Messiah
has felt like an annual obligation, but not this time around. The Milwaukee
Symphony Orchestra 2013 edition lived up to expectations of being a major
holiday event. The performance I heard on Thursday evening at the Cathedral of

Looking For Some Halloween Reads
I have to admit I haven't much been in the mood for Halloween reads yet. Maybe it was because up until the start of this week we were having near summer like weather, or maybe it is because I really don't like horror novels.
But something got into me today and I feel like need a bit of a reading change and I'm looking for some Halloween appropriate reads (that aren't full of extreme gore).
Maybe it was seeing the excerpt of Ushers Inc. that Rusty Fischer is offering on Scribd (because this is exactly the sort of not horrifying Halloween read I am looking for).
So do you have any suggestions? I'm not too picky, Zombies, Vampires, Werewolves, Witches are fine by me. I love a bit of comedy or satire, just nothing that will keep me up at night ok? I have 2 young kids and I am up enough as it is!
3 Responses to "Looking For Some Halloween Reads"
You can't go wrong with Rusty, Bonnie! I'm about to read Ushers, too, for my MIYA event (coming up Nov 20th) and am soooo looking forward to it!
I have one more sugesstion for you – look for Jnonatham Maberry's Rot&Ruin and Dust&Decay – so fab! Not a gore/scary read, but super engaging and wow, so emotional! I am LOVING it! (reading second part just now!)
<3 <3 <3 -
I don't but I'll return so I can see what everyone else says

It's not exactly news that people are buying more and more stuff online. Ecommerce sales are expected to hit a cool $370 billion by 2017. And just this past holiday season, UPS and Fed Ex struggled to keep up with the unexpected surge in online sales.
But it's one thing to take a chance on a pair of shoes and quite another to purchase something that's going on your skin. Color-matching and smell are especially tricky when buying beauty stuff at a distance.
We were talking about this the other day with the crew and determined that we all fall into one of these three online shopping profiles: 1) only willing to buy products we know; 2) willing to buy and return (returns, however, aren't often possible with beauty goods); and 3) willing to buy to try but can't be bothered to return (unless something is super pricey).
I work in the ecommerce world, so I'm probably not the most unbiased guinea pig, but I'm definitely becoming increasingly comfortable shopping online—maybe a little too comfortable! Still, I tend to fall into category uno: While I'll totally hit up a Nubonau to re-up on favorite products, I don't tend to buy things I've never tried.
Case in point: I've been greedily eyeing the Kjaer Weis line for just about forever. But it wasn't until Evolue started offering the products in-store a few months back (run, don't walk, LA ladies) that I finally took the plunge. (And what a plunge it was: I'm especially in love with the sun touched cream blush and goddess lip tint.)
What about you? Where are you buying your beauty products, and what are your online shopping practices?
You guys!! It's finally happened. We've found a line that is clean, affordable, and totally man-friendly in the way it looks, smells, and feels. Heck, you could almost call it a men's line—but why limit something so awesome?
Like many brands I adore, my first intro to the Prada Lab line was from Evolue. I took one look at the ingredients on the moisturizer—basically argan oil, and a blend of my favorite bee-derived actives—and knew it would be love. The bottles are simple, with clean graphic design, and fresh pops of color. They feel modern and masculine, so I wasn't surprised when Jean told me the founder and creative director was… get ready… a man!! (His name is Tony Prada, if you were wondering about the Prada thing.)
To our male readers—we know you're out there, and we're sorry we don't serve you better. And to the women who have been forcing clean products on their sons, brothers and boyfriends, here is one without the lavenders and ylang ylangs (that we've grown to love, and they continue to hate).
The line has four products, but two of them are scrubs—one for face and one for hands. I have not opened the hand one, but I love the idea of it. I'm just not the kind of girl who pays much attention to my feet and hands (and it's not pretty). Maybe this weekend I'll give them a pamper with this stuff. As for the facial one, if I'm being honest—made from sugar, almonds, dates and honey—I have more interest in eating it than rubbing it on my face. But that's just 'cause I don't go in for face scrubs… The cleanser and lotion though, are a whole other story.
Lotion: If you, or the man/men in your life, hate greasy, heavy, scented lotions, this is anything but. Made from argan oil, white tea, bee pollen, royal jelly, propolis, and little else, this light lotion is hydrating and nourishing without all the weight and density. Don't get me wrong, a love greasy and heavy some days here in So-Cal, and this is still oil based—it's just lighter in feel due to the combination of ingredients. And I'm convinced it will make the perfect moisturizer for all of you gals running around New York, and other humid-as-heck cities, this summer.
Ingredients: Organic Argan Oil, Organic White Tea, Organic Calendula, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly, Propolis Extract & 100 % Pure Love.
Volcanic Ash Hydrating Facial Cleanser: As you might know, I like washing my face with things like dirt (aka clay) and honey—and this product contains both. It feels a lot like a simple honey cleanser, but it has a very subtle and fine grit to it that I love. That must be the volcanic ash, a type of clay that apparently dates back to Cleopatra's beauty regimen. The other ingredients in here are either anti-bacterial, depuffing, or so-called anti-aging (ie. containing antioxidants). We like such things, especially in a product that is completely non-stripping. Booya.
Ingredients: Triple Purified Water, Volcanic Ash, Organic Dates, Organic Honey, Organic Fennel, Organic Myrrh, Organic Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly, Propolis Extract & 100% Pure Love.
Have you heard of this line or tried it?
Here's the rub with natural face care lines: They can feel a bit samesame after a while. A non-foaming cleanser, an amazing oil, and maybe a lovely hydrosal toner or spray…
Don't get me wrong, we love this formula—less is more, and it's precisely this simple well-executed combination of pure ingredients that made us first fall for the likes of Kahina, Stark, and Evan Healy. But once you have your faves, it's hard to justify trying 20 other brands that offer something similar. That's why this May Lindstrom line jumped out at me on first use.
My intro to the line came from natch beauty glamour girl Spirit Beauty. "You have to try it," she said in a Facebook message. And within a month of her sending it my way, I got an email from Evolue inviting me by for a facial with May. Hmm, a new line so quickly available at two of our favorite retailers? This was boding well.
The products are really special, in many ways. First the packaging: Done in a beautiful black glass with gold lettering, it brings all kinds of glamour to this line, that could easily have felt a bit crunchy given its ingredients. Instead, really beautiful. May herself is also a vision. At the risk of sounding like some silly magazine article about a celebrity, I will anyways: This woman is gorgeous, with the kind of skin so impeccable and glowy that it's almost hard to look at. Like the sun!
But looks can be deceiving. When May and I met she described the horror stories of her various environmental sensitivities and the problem skin she had. A country girl at heart—who's been mixing her own products since childhood—when she first came to LA (to be a chef) the city wreaked a debilitating havoc on her skin from head to toe. Through diet and natural products (and fewer products), she eventually found her way, and ended up reticently becoming a model. It was on set one day that she had her a-ha moment to start her own brand.
"I'd very quickly mixed an oil one morning to bring to the shoot," she told me. And lo, everyone there was trying it and begging her to make them some.
So the line. I've tried everything at this point other than the body oil, and there's nothing I don't like. Her Youth Dew serum is a beautiful oil blend that competes with faves and smells amazing—I'm a sucker for geranium I've come to learn. Here are the ingredients:
persea americana (avocado) oil*, limnanthes alba (meadowfoam seed) oil*, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) oil*, olea europaea (olive) oil*, prunus spp (plum kernel) oil, hippophae rhamnoides (sea buckthorn) oil*, rosa rubiginosa (rosehip seed) oil*, punica granatum (pomegranate) oil*, calophyllum inophyllum (tamanu) oil*, borago officinalis (borage seed) oil*, aleurites moluccans (kukui nut) oil, oenothera biennis (evening primrose) oil*, pelargonium graveolens (geranium rose) essential oil*, citrus paradisi (grapefruit) essential oil*, citrus sinensis (sweet orange) essential oil*, citrus limon (lemon) essential oil*, rosa damascena (rose absolute) essential oil*, rosa damascena (bulgarian rose) essential oil*, citrus aurantium (neroli) essential oil*, daucus carota (carrot seed) essential oil***, ubiquinone (coenzyme q10).
But for me the standouts are The Clean Dirt "cleanser" and The Problem Solver mask.
The Clean Dirt: This cleansing clay comes dry, which I love because it never goes bad. You pour a little into the palm of your hand and add a few drops of water then begin mixing. You can also mix it with a brush, as May did when she gave me my facial. It's hard to describe this stuff, it doesn't actually foam but science happens and the mixture expands into an airy kind of paste. It's consistency is definitely exfoliating by nature so you don't need to scrub it too much. Just smooth it over your face, let it sit for a minute and then rinse. It feels great, and gives an instant glow. Here are the ingredients:
white halloysite clay, red moroccan rhassoul clay, red alaea sea salt, ascorbic acid (vitamin c), sodium bicarbonate, althaea officinalis (marshmallow) root*,rosa centifolia (pink rose)*, calendula officinalis (calendula) flower*, cinnamomum zeylanicum (cinnamon)*, myristica fragans (nutmeg)*, syzygium aromaticum (clove)*, curcuma longa (turmeric)*, zingiber officinale (ginger)*, vanilla planifolia bean*, theobroma cacao (raw cacao)**.
The Problem Solver: This product feels like the cleanser's more intense cousin. The process is the same, but the idea is to leave on this jet-black clay mask for up to 45 minutes (I personally don't go that long though, 15 is fine by me). Note: This product feels very active, and sting-tingles a little on the skin. But I've done it numerous times and the flush only lasts a few minutes for me, and it really feels like it's jump-starting my circulation. I don't use it that often, but when I do I feel like my skin has a new lease on life. I also use it to spot treat incoming pimples. Here are the ingredients:
fuller's earth clay, red moroccan rhassoul clay, theobroma cacao (raw cacao)**, red alaea sea salt, ascorbic acid (vitamin c), sodium bicarbonate, bamboo carbon charcoal powder, vanilla planifolia bean*, lavandula angustifolia (lavender) flower*, althaea officinalis (marshmallow) root*, boswellia carteri (frankincense)***, centella asiatica (gotu kola)*, archangelica (angelica) root*, cinnamomum zeylanicum (cinnamon)*, myristica fragans (nutmeg)*, syzygium aromaticum (clove)*, curcuma longa (turmeric)*, capsicum annuum (cayenne) pepper*.
One note that I failed to mention in the first draft of this post: These two products come in HUGE containers. The cleanser is nearly 7 oz. and the mask is over 8 oz., which is about 4x the size of comparable products. Just wanted to clear that up since there have been many comments around price. At $60, the cleanser is actually on the more reasonable side at that size.
May herself is a major product minimalist, so she says some people use the cleanser every day, while others only use it a few times a week. I'm in the second camp, and I have a feeling she might be too. That's another thing I really love about these two products: While they're not inexpensive, they will probably last me for close to a year. And if there's any confusion about how to use, you can watch May's videos on her site and on the sites that carry the line.
Have you tried this line? What do you think??
And, of course to the gents out there, what would you ask your lady friends to change?
Last night Evolue hosted an event for Pregnancy Awareness Month (PAM) and it got me thinking: What would be left to change in my routine if I were to get pregnant?
I gave a little talk with two of my favorite women in green beauty (precisely because they couldn't look less green!): Anya Sarre, who told her hilarious a-ha story and gave great tips for looking and feeling good while knocked up, and Bethany Wojteck from Arcona (a great line, especially for anyone with problem skin!). Anya is about 7 months pregnant, and Bethany has a 9 month old (though you'd never know by looking at her) and while both women have been super conscious and careful for some time it was interesting to hear the additional sacrifices they made during pregnancy.
Now, it's not like I'm planning a pregnancy right this second, but I'm well aware that the time before one gets pregnant is very important, and while the baby is cooking it's downright critical to be careful of chemical exposure—especially given the new science emerging around endocrine disruptors.
BPA has now been shown to permanently change gene expression, a subject I made Siobhan explain to me in extremely explicit laymen's terms over gchat yesterday (she's so good at this stuff!). Basically this means, and correct me if I'm wrong S, that if a fetus is exposed to BPA in utero there is the potential for it to change the signal a given gene is supposed to send. A gene that was meant to do X, may now do Y (pun intended on this one), and it won't change back again. While this research is still very new and we can't say for sure how these fetuses will be affected as adults, we know that BPA—which is mildly estrogenic—has been linked to things like obesity, early puberty in women, infertility in men and so on.
Ugh. Which takes me to what I would change in the months prior to trying, and in the event that I got pregnant. I would definitely avoid all canned things (which is really tough for me) because the liners almost always contain BPA, including my favorite sardines (sad face) and the "natural" soda Zevia that I love, who at least address the issue on their site. I'd also probably avoid any salon treatments—nails and hair—even though I know it's really important to feel pretty and pulled together during those pregnancy months! Some women just go once or twice for a little pick-me-up, and I totally get it.
Oh, and I'd probably get really annoying about fragrance and ask people I work with not to wear any. And I'd throw out the last few cleaning products I have that are totally toxic (hello Ajax). I would also try to drive our old Jeep more, because I think (though I'm not sure) that older cars have less chemical crap in them.
What am I missing? Surely something! What did you change during your pregnancy, or would you give up if you were planning to get knocked up?
What you're looking at is 1200 books—books that I drove in my friend's truck yesterday to a warehouse deep in Burbank, where they will be put into (extremely fabulous) gift bags headed to the Entertainment Tonight Emmy party on Sunday. [Insert girly screams.]
The type of folks who usually get their products into these bags (think Rolex and resorts) are not, you know, two journalists trying to take on the beauty business. Needless to say, we are thrilled to bits.
We have to thank Anya Sarre: stylist to the stars, supporter of the movement, and my favorite unlikely clean girl (she's living proof that anyone can go clean, even people who appear on TV), and Jean Seo at Evolue who completely coordinated with Anya to make this happen. We love you girls!
Expect a Friday Deal from Evolue tomorrow (hint-hint it might involve one of my favorite concealers), and cross your fingers that No More Dirty Looks will become beauty bible to the stars. Ok, I'm pushing it, but cross your fingers anyways! Now go back to meditating. :)

I wanted a deep conditioning treatment without protein for occasional use and this is ideal. After a disastrous encounter with a Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner that left my hair feeling like straw, this was just what I needed. It left my hair looking shiny and feeling silky, even my dry ends. For reference my hair is fine, oily scalp, dry ends and coloured. I really dislike the dispenser though, which is basically a hole with a sticker covering it - how the heck are you supposed to carry it around with you? It's a good job I'm just leaving it in my bathroom cabinet. I have other daily, weekly and intensive conditioning treatments but they are either light, more intensive, have protein or they're oil treatments so this one fills the gap.

I have been using this treatment on and off for years.
I like the smell and the fact that is creamy.
After I wash my hair, I wring it gently until there is no water and then I apply the treatment on my hair, not on my scalp, with my fingers through.
Leave it for few mins (usually more than 3 mins. but this is just me) and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
My hair smells very nice, it is shiny and manageable! Usually it is all over the place, very dry and weak.

This product is amazing and I'm really very difficult to please. It provides deep conditioning that doesn't weigh hair down in the least, even if I use it every day for a week in an attempt to repair the horrible damage I inflicted upon myself through overuse of the hair dryer. Forgive me Aussie, for I have sinned.
This product takes only 3 minutes to sink in and rinses out clean. My hair is left soft and shiny and bouncy and you would have no idea from looking at it what terrible things I have done to my poor locks. I use this 2 to 3 times a week to keep my hair looking nice, and it only takes a short amount longer to sink in than I would normally let my conditioner sit in anyway.
The price is fair, although on the slightly more expensive end of drugstore brands. Luckily it goes on sale rather frequently in my area. You also don't need to use a ton of product to get results, so I find I don't use it up very quickly.
The bottle is so cool. There is no cap, just a hole in the bottom and when you squeeze, the product comes out, but it doesn't leak otherwise. How cool is that? I'm a sucker for convenient and hygienic packaging like this.
The scent is very strong and depends on your personal preference. It's very sweet and lingers for quite a long time. I don't actually mind this one, and get compliments from the ol' boyfriend about how nice my hair smells, but be advised to smell before you buy.
I would highly recommend trying this out. It's a great product at a great price in a really cool bottle. I'll definitely be repurchasing.

Let me add another review in favour of this product!
In Canada, none of the 3 minute miracle conditioners are available anymore, but on a recent trip to England, I saw it on the shelves and ha to snag it.
The formula is light pink and as thick as most store bought deep conditioners. The smell is faintly sweet and does not last beyond the shower. It spreads easily and evenly through wet hair. I usually apply it immediately after shampooing and then shave my legs so that the formula has time to work. The result is soft shiny hair that lasts to the next wash and is not weighed down or "piecey"! The bottle is wonderful too, the conditioner comes out of the bottom so that water stays out and it is easy to squeeze.
After using it with every shower (2-3 times a week) for a month, the ends of my hair are noticeably soft and less damaged. I usually get split ends frequently and this seems to help them split less. Will have to travel again to replace it, but so far this is my favorite deep conditioner, an absolute must try. If it continues to perform this well it might reach HG status.
One lippie off for containing cones, it would be nice find a conditioner that performs similarly without the coating.
