Once my plants get up some size, I want to lay down some form of mulch that I can work into the soil later, or scoop up and toss in the compost bin. I read that grass clippings work fine and I'll have easy access to those through the summer (though I have no control over whether they'll include seedheads). But the pictures I see in books show straw...
Any pros and cons here? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Lay down newspaper first- which will compost as well. That will help stop the germination of many seeds already present in the soil. Then cover with your choice- grass clippings are free- but so are the chemicals that come with them that most folks put on their lawns. I try to "dry out" my grass clippings before spreading as they can compress together and become slimy and possibly moldy and even heat up while composting if put on too thick when still wet....... Yes- experience talking here........ The nice thing is that this type of mulch will compost itself and become good rich soil with a little help from the worms and microorgamisms present in the soil- All you should ever need to do is add another layer every season- or maybe even more often! It is not the most ornamental type of mulch- but it is very good otherwise! |
First, one must usually buy straw and if you have a large area it could be $$$. Second, despite what is written, straw occasionaly contains weed seeds and almost always contains oat seeds. Third, depending where you get the straw, it could be not straw at all, but roadside weed mowings that are sold as dairy bedding - cows don't care! And don't make the mistake of picking up hay instead of straw. If you have access to grass clipping without a lot of dandelions they can be much better, although they decompose quicker than straw. Even if dandelions haven't gone to seed before they are cut, their flower seeds will go a head to make seeds anyway because they are self-fertile they are born pregant - so to speak. |
The grass clippings I'd be using are off my own lawn, so I know what I've put on them (which is nothing, other than more grass seeds and a sprinkling of leftover sulfur). I've also seen mentioned time after time using several layers of newspapers as the foundation for mulch. I suppose I'll give that a try. My husband just signed up for the paper for the next three months, so I should have plenty of it to use. |
It had always been my understanding that straw is from cereal grains, and hay is from alfalfa, wild grasses, and anything else. Comments? |
Yes, straw is from cereal grains. Most of what we get here in MN garden centers, etc. is from Canada and is from oats. All of the stuff I have seen and used has a lot of oat seed left in it. The good thing is that it is easy to pull oat plants out. As for hay, you are right it could be any number of things. Usually, alfalfa hay is labeled as such, is higher priced because it contains much more protein, and is rarely sold in garden centers - except for rabbit food. Most of the unlabeled hay sold in MN is from timothy grass, but timothy fields are rarely sprayed with herbicides so it contains a lot of weeds and their seeds. Finally, some unaware gardeners may be tempted to buy the cheaper "bedding straw" from unscruplous garden centers. It isn't straw at all, but roadside weed cuttings, and as as I posted before, cows don't care whether they lay down on weeds, corn stalks or clean straw. As a rule of thumb, choose a bale that is light yellow - it will most likely be straw. Both timothy and alfalfa will be a green color, while roadside clippings will light brown. |
Although putting straw around the plants worked in my head... in reality... a little less on the "working" part. This weekend I started a new vegetable bed to put in six extra bush tomato plants and four pole beans my son brought from kindergarten as a project. The bed is 7' long and 2' wide, next to a 4' tall chain link fence. I de-sodded, spaded it up, forked it, worked in five gallons of unfinished compost (my compost isn't quite done, but it was all I had), raked, and planted. There were lots of worms, so I figure the dirt is okay. There's also lots of weeds around it and the bed is out and kind of exposed and all new. I was concerned my six year old would be taken by a desire to use the fresh dirt as a derby site for his hot wheels and dump trucks. So I decided I'd experiment with it and see how the newspaper + mulch thing worked. I didn't have grass clippings and getting into the compost reminded me I was out of browns, so I bought a bale of oat straw at Bergmann's near Stillwater. I figured if it went badly, I'd use it in the compost. Well... I put newspaper around the plants, cutting 2"x2" holes for the plants to poke through. Then the straw. The plants are from 2 inches tall to 6 inches tall. The taller ones were fine, but the smaller ones were kind of swamped by the straw. At the end, it didn't really look like something that was going to work out. I guess I should have taken a picture and posted it. Any comments? Advice? |
Relax, they will all grow and by end of July you'll be asking how to control the jungle. On a completely different note, somehow I missed the prediction for frost last night. The National Weather Service's website at 10 PM said it would only get down to 43ş, so I thought OK. But no I lost 1/2 of my tomatoes and nearly all my peppers. I have more, so it is not a problem, but the frost pattern was very interesting. First, I lost all the tomatoes that were mulched with 8" of straw, but I didn't lose any I planted in the hairy vetch and only about 1/4 of the ones planted in bare ground (hadn't got to the mulch yet). This is the first time in 35 years that I have had my tomatoes nipped and I expected the straw mulch would have kept the plants safe. Goes to show we gardeners are always learning. |

In the past, I have waited to mulch heat lovers such as tomatoes and peppers until after the soil is very warm--sometimes late June. Mulch will keep the ground cool--just like insulation. |

I found this online recently...
T'was the weekend before Christmas, and all through the yard,
The tools were all hung, in the garage with care,
The shovel with blade all rusty and cracked,
When out on my lawn, (it's brown and abused)
No list had been left for Santa to see,
But wait there's still time, it's not Christmas yet,
You can forget the silk tie, the fluffy new sweater,
If she wants a gift shiny, then don't be a fool,
If fragrance is listed you can forget French perfume,
Give night crawlers, not nightgowns, a hose that sprays water.
Give a great gift that can dig in the dirt,
Now look quick at Santa, this guy's not so dumb,
His knees are so dirty, his back how it aches,
The guy works only winter, you can surely see why,
He has elves plant through spring, pull weeds in the summer,
And so Christmas gives Santa a part-time employment,
So ask the big guy for garden gifts this year,
You see, malls may be crowded, vendors hawking their wares,
Now Santa's flown off, to the nursery he goes,
**** Have a Merry and a Happy!

WILBERFORCE, Ohio - Dave Chappelle doesn't regret his decision to walk away from a $50 million deal to continue his hit Comedy Central television show. However, he might miss the money.
Halting his "Chappelle's Show" two years ago was "one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life," the comedian said Tuesday while addressing the opening convocation at Central State University.
"Now, economically it makes no sense at all," he added.
Chappelle, who lives near the southwest Ohio village of Yellow Springs, encouraged students not to compromise their values.
"It's good to have a vision for your life, but your moral conduct and your moral code should be priceless," he said. "You should just have some values that you just hold, that you won't sell at any price."
Central State's marching band played before Chappelle's hour-plus talk. The band was featured in the recent documentary "Dave Chappelle's Block Party."

Yesterday I made one of the most rewarding concert recordings
I ever did. The opening concert of the 'Traiettorie' festival
here in Parma, with violinist Hae-Sun Kang and five of her
twenty-something students of the chamber music class in Paris.
One of the pieces they played was Arnold Schoenberg's 'Verklaerte
Nacht', the original version for string sextet. I've known it for
at least thirty years and recorded it many times. It's IMHO one
of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. It's also
quite a difficult one to get right - a string quartet already
requires a lot of very intimate coordination, and with six
players this only gets much more complex.
I'd been present at the rehearsals the days before the concert,
and seen those young musicians work on it - passionately and
without compromise. The recording has all the defects of a live
one - background noises of all sorts - but I think they played
wonderfully. Equipment used was two Neumann KM184 mics, an RME
Micstasy and Ardour3. I can't make it available publicly, but
if the rare birds who like this type of music give me a hint
there may be some chance. Not that I want to show off my work,
which is insignificant, but just to share what some talented
and motivated young musicians are capable of.Ciao,
FAA world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris
and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)_______________________________________________

My name is Puppies!
Facts about Puppies
- Breed: Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier/Pomeranian Mix
- Color: Black - With Brown, Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Puppies's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Second Chance Dog Rescue has puppies! We have 2 Porkies (Pomeranian/yorkie) mix puppies. They are both males and are both 16 weeks old. The puppies are in volunteer homes so appointments will need to be made for the puppies to be seen at the rescue. They will all have their first shots and be dewormed. If you want one of these puppies PUT YOUR APPLICATION IN at http://www.secondchancedogrescue.com/adoption-application Applications will be processed on a first come, first serve basis. Telephone calls or emails will not assure you a place in line for a puppy so be sure to put your application in FIRST. We will be sharing more photos throughout the day. Thanks!
Other Pets at Second Chance DOG Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Puppies, a Prole Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier/Pomeranian puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier/Pomeranian for sale in Prole, or seeking a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier/Pomeranian puppy from a breeder in Prole.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Prole already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Prole breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier/Pomeranian breeders who help with Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier/Pomeranian rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Prole paves the way for another one to be saved.

Dr. Conrad Murray believes he can still PROVE Michael Jackson injected himself with a fatal dose of Propofol -- and now he's begging an appeals court to let him test his theory.
Murray's lawyers are filing a new motion in his appeal -- claiming a vial of Propofol could hold the key to his innocence ... if only a judge would allow forensic testing to search for traces of lidocaine.
The lidocaine is important because the prosecution argued that Murray hooked MJ up to an IV bag containing the fatal dose of propofol and left him alone ... but first, mixed the Propofol with lidocaine to ease the sting of the drug.
Murray claims testing will prove there was NO lidocaine on the vial ... because Jackson injected himself with a pure dose of Propofol ... and killed himself.
Murray -- who was found guilty of manslaughter and is currently serving time in L.A. County Jail -- has already made two requests for testing. Both were denied by the judge who presided over his trial ... and ruled that Murray should have made the request BEFORE the trial began.
Murray's team will file the motion in California later today. It could take months before the court makes its decision.
Conrad Murray
I Want to Speak
with Katherine Jackson
Dr. Conrad Murray -- the man who killed Michael Jackson -- believes he is the one man Katherine Jackson can turn to for some honest advice ... and has invited MJ's mom for a jailhouse conversation.
Murray released a statement through his lawyers to CNN ... saying, "I've been told that she has a desire to speak with me before she departs this life."
"Seeing that she is up in age and in questionable health, and the fact that she is the mother of a very dear departed friend, it would give me great pleasure to sit with her one on one and answer any questions she might have."
Murray continues ... "I do not want Mrs. Jackson to suffer. She remains as dear to me as my own mother, unbeknownst to her."
Conrad claims he's not allowed to follow the news as closely as he'd like to in jail ... but is aware of the family drama ... and says Katherine appears to be "extremely sad."
"I also heard she is having a difficult time."
Murray says he's listed Katherine on his jailhouse visitor's list in case she wants to take him up on his offer. So far, no word on how Katherine feels about the situation.
Dr. Conrad Murray
Help, I'm Dying in Jail!!!
Dr. Conrad Murray is pulling a Floyd Mayweather Jr. -- pleading with a judge to spring him from L.A. County Jail because it's taking an extreme physical toll on his body ... and if he doesn't get help soon, Murray believes he'll DIE behind bars.
But here's the crazy thing -- unlike Mayweather, Murray's not asking for house arrest (he knows that will never happen) ... Murray's asking to be sent to PRISON, where he believes he'll get better care.
Murray's lawyer tells TMZ, he wants to serve out his time in the big house because he's being treated like filth in L.A. County jail -- getting fresh air once a month, and fresh underwear once a WEEK.
As a result of the alleged deprivation, we're told Murray's health is failing -- his hair, nails, and skin are gnarly ... and he's been suffering from a constant headache over the last few weeks.
Murray says he's never gotten headaches in the past -- and is worried it might be a brain tumor.
We're told Murray asked to see a doctor, but got shuffled around and has received no medical attention.
Murray told his attorney, Valerie Wass, "I may not make it out of here alive. This is a very dangerous place. I'm in here dying. The system is intent on killing me."
A rep for the L.A. County Sheriff's Department tells us, the department doesn't comment on pending cases.
Conrad Murray
I'm Glad I Did that Documentary
Conrad Murray doesn't regret for a second doing the documentary that infuriated Judge Michael Pastor, because he wanted the public to hear his side of the story.
Murray -- who declined to testify in his trial -- spoke with friends and family after the sentence. We're told Murray said he knew he was going to get the maximum sentence, so it didn't bother him that he became Judge Michael Pastor's human punching bag over the things he said in the documentary -- in particular, trashing Michael Jackson and not accepting any blame for his death.
And we know more about Murray's reaction to the sentence. He's saying he's "surprisingly upbeat" about the sentence, telling one friend, "I'm just relieved it's finally over," adding, "Don't worry, I'm fine, and I'll be out soon."
Dr. Murray's Baby Mama
Max Sentence Is 'Ridiculous'
Dr. Conrad Murray's baby mama Nicole Alvarez is furious over the maximum sentence that was imposed today -- claiming Judge Pastor's decision was "ridiculous."
Nicole stepped out today with her son -- insisting Murray has beaten himself up non-stop since Michael's death ... despite Judge Pastor's claim the doctor showed no remorse for his crime.
Nicole adds, Murray has been "mournful for the past two-and-a-half years."
Dr. Murray's Lawyer
The Documentary Was a Mistake
Conrad Murray's lawyer J. Michael Flanagan admits the decision to do a tell-all behind-the-scenes documentary was "probably a mistake" ... but tells "TMZ Live" the Doc really needed the money.
Katherine Jackson
'4 Years Is Not Enough'
Katherine Jackson wants Conrad Murray to rot behind bars -- telling reporters outside the courthouse, the doctor's 4-year sentence is "not enough."
Speaking to KTLA ... Katherine added, "Four years won't bring my son back" -- but she admits ... Judge Michael Pastor was extremely fair with his sentencing.
Conrad Murray's Lawyer
Driven Away by Hecklers
Conrad Murray's defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan just stormed away from a news conference -- after he was ambushed by hecklers.
Flanagan was in the middle of making a statement, claiming, Murray "led 56 years of exemplary life" -- at which point he was interrupted by someone in the crowd ... "And then he killed Michael Jackson."
Flanagan asked for the hecklers to be removed ... but after nothing happened, Flanagan said, "I'm out of here."
Conrad Murray
He Could Get More Time
Because He Killed MJ
Judges, prosecutors and criminal lawyers who have spoken with TMZ agree ... Conrad Murray should not get the maximum sentence -- 4 years in prison -- but the fact that he killed Michael Jackson changes everything.
It's not supposed to be this way -- the fame of the victim should be irrelevant -- but it's hard to ignore the fame of the victim.
The people we spoke with say the typical sentence for someone in a similar position -- no criminal history, an otherwise unblemished record -- would be a "blended sentence" -- a year or 2 in jail, and then a year or 2 of community service.
Judge Michael Pastor made it clear when he denied Murray bail -- he views the crime as extremely serious, possibly telegraphing a maximum sentence. It's hard to tell what Pastor will do, but almost everyone considers him a fair but stern judge.
The fact that the D.A. is asking for $100 million in restitution shows how much of a difference it makes that MJ is the victim. The reality is -- in terms of money -- Michael is worth more dead than alive, so there should be no restitution. His 3 kids will now get hundreds of millions in a windfall.

Katherine, Jermaine, and Rebbie Jackson just arrived at the L.A. County Courthouse -- moments before Dr. Conrad Murray is scheduled to be sentenced.
La Toya Jackson just showed up with Kathy Hilton ... Randy Jackson rolled up minutes later.
So far, no sign of Joe.
Conrad Murray Jury
Language Barrier in Jury Room?
English was not the only language used in the jury deliberation room in Conrad Murray's case ... this according to a relative of one of the jurors ... and there may have been a language barrier in the juror room.
We're told at least 2 of the jurors began discussing the case in Spanish during the 8-hour deliberation.
A relative of one juror -- we'll call him juror A -- tells TMZ ... another juror -- juror B -- had "some trouble" understanding some of the testimony. During the deliberations juror A had to translate the testimony into Spanish to juror B.
In the questionnaire jurors were required to fill out, the first question read, "Do you have any difficulty reading, speaking or understanding English."
A spokesperson for the court tells TMZ ... no juror ever requested a court-appointed translator at any time during the trial or deliberations.
Conrad Murray Juror
The Decision Was Easy
A juror in the Conrad Murray trial tells TMZ ... the decision to find Murray guilty of involuntary manslaughter was not difficult, and jurors were all in agreement early on in the deliberation process.
The juror -- who asked not to be identified -- tells us jurors were not conflicted and that "it was a concrete decision."
The juror also said the jurors were unified early on ... long before they ended their 8-plus hours of deliberations.
As for what swayed the jury, the juror did not want to speak for the others but said it was the totality of the evidence. We asked if Murray's 2-hour interview with LAPD detectives was a turning point, but the juror said it wasn't. The juror said the body of evidence -- not one individual item -- was just overwhelming.
The juror is "glad it's over" and is happy to return to "normal life."
Dr. Murray
1st Meal Behind Bars --
Super Cheeeesy
He's barely been locked up a couple hours -- but TMZ has learned, Dr. Conrad Murray has already been offered a delicious sacked lunch behind bars ... including jailhouse-baked cookies.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Murray's first meal contained a cheese sandwich, some fruit punch, a few carrot sticks, and some homemade Oreo-knockoff cookies ... baked in the jail's own bakery.
No word on whether Murray actually ate any of it, but we're guessing he didn't have much of an appetite.

List items
1. Metal Gear Solid
A great blend of Metal Gear 2 and Metal Gear Solid game mechanics. This is also the game that justified my ownership of a Gameboy Color.
2. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
The definitive version of Super Mario Bros. it also includes Lost Levels and some fun challenge and multiplayer modes.
3. Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble
My favorite of the Kirby spin-offs and may now be able to be ported due to the 3DS tilt sensors.
4. Wario Land II
Honestly the most challenging game in which the protagonist is invulnerable.
5. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
The only top down Zelda games I haven't played.
6. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
Not counting that shitty CD-I game where you play as Princess Zelda.
7. Pokémon Pinball
A solid pinball game that was like crack to me because you literally caught and evolved Pokemon to get high scores.
8. Shantae
The prequel to one of the few good DSiware games. Stupid name but all around solid 2-D platformer.
9. Wario Land 3
Having played every Wario game except this one is driving me crazy. Oh and yes I have played the Virtual Boy one at a Toys R' Us and would love to see that on the Virtual Console.
10. Mario Golf
This is the first golf game I ever played and it is still my favorite. I love how the single player game isn't just a tournament but an rpg-lite story mode.

POSTED: Monday, April 6, 2009 - 5:39pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 11:02am
JACKSONVILLE-A woman charged with the purchase or sale of a child has reached a plea agreement with the Cherokee County District Attorney's office.
In 1992 Debra Glover,40, was arrested for trying to sell her baby. Police tell us after Glover was arrested initially for the crime she posted bail and fled the county.
For 17 years she was able to stay under the radar by using a series of aliases, police said. But late last year her luck ran out when she was pulled over in Robertson County and hauled back to Cherokee County and arrested.
Cherokee County Assistant District Attorney Rachel Patton told the Jacksonville Daily Progress that Glover recently confessed to the crime in exchange for a three-year prison sentence.
"When the detectives initially started looking into this, I believe they found some indication that she had done this previously in Longview and up in the Mt. Pleasant area," Assistant Chief for the Jacksonville Police Department, John Page told us. "How many children were involved if any I don't know."
Police also told us during her years on the run, Glover was also wanted for two pending charges in Durham County, N.C. Authorities in North Carolina still have to decide in they are going to extradite Glover back to their state to serve more time.
Glover is being held right now in the Cherokee County Jail.

TUESDAY, July 27 (HealthDay News) -- Worried about whether the weight you just lost will stay lost? Seeking out the right Web site might help, a new study suggests.
People who shed pounds and then consistently logged on to a specially designed Internet site for weight maintenance were better able to maintain a significant portion of their weight loss than people who logged on less often, new research finds.
When people checked in to the Web site at least once a month to record their weight or food consumption over a two-and-a-half year period, they were able to maintain an average of 9 pounds of their original 19-pound weight loss. In contrast, those who checked in regularly for just 14 months during that time were only able to maintain 5 pounds of their weight loss.
Those who logged in even less often were only able to maintain 3 pounds of their initial weight loss.
"The bottom line is that we think the Internet is a helpful tool for weight loss maintenance," said the study's lead author, Kristine Funk, a research associate at Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research in Portland, Ore. "People who used the study-designed interactive Web site had better results than people who used it less often. The key seems to be, 'How do I make these new habits something that I'm doing for a lifetime?'"
The site used in the study is no longer available, but experts cite key factors that can make any weight-loss Web site useful to those hoping to stay slim.
The study, funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, was published online on July 27 in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.
While losing weight is a challenge, keeping lost weight from coming back seems to be an even bigger challenge for many, according to Funk. Because an estimated 44 percent of middle-aged Americans have used the Internet for fitness and exercise information and al

Don't wear these with Socks
The shoes are comfortable, but apparently not meant to be worn with socks. It doesn't matter what type of sock I wear with this shoe, the sock rides down into the shoe. Since these are suede they're meant for cooler weather when you would wear socks, but I certainly can't with the pair that I have. They are comfortable, but I'm disappointed in them.

Runs Wide
Runs Small

Comfortable and warm
I bought these to wear as slippers. I wear orthotics and they fit nicely into this particular style of Crocs. The only thing I wish was different is the tab at the heel which I wish was made of stiffer material as it keeps folding down.

There are so many, capturing all the minutia that goes into filming each episode, that we came up with a lil' idea — Imagining "Gossip Girl," the completely ridiculous and potentially inane comic strip in which we imagine the show's dialogue. Behold, our first attempt, in which Blair Waldorf has a request for Chuck Bass, and he just doesn't get it. CW, are we hired? Click through the slideshow for each frame of the strip with inspired talk bubbles. The last slide has them all together. You know you love it.

Re: Marcua Gilbert - The Terminator
Adams' first start to be less 'crazy': Rookie OT Mike Adams will make his first official NFL start Sunday in Cincinnati. He had a virtual start, however, last week in Tennessee. Adams played almost the entire game at right tackle after OT Marcus Gilbert went down with an ankle injury.
"It was kind of crazy to get the, not start, but for the first game ... to play most of it was something I didn't expect," said Adams, a second-round pick from Ohio State. "But you've got to be ready to play whenever, so it was a pretty cool experience."
Adams said he "definitely" will feel more comfortable Sunday because he had the experience against the Titans. Adams said Gilbert had become one of his closer friends on the team and that the two talk regularly.
That will benefit Adams -- not just because Adams is filling in for Gilbert, but because Gilbert entered the NFL under similar circumstances. Gilbert was a second-round pick who made his debut early last season during a game when OL Willie Colon was injured.
"It's good to have that kind of support," Adams said of Gilbert.
Gilbert's status cloudy:
Gilbert will not play this week, and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review quoted teammate C Maurkice Pouncey saying Wedesday afternoon that Gilbert could miss up to two months.
Gilbert took to his own Twitter account to dispute that.
"I will not be out for 2 months, ill back really really soon!" Gilbert said @MarcusGilbert88.

I'm not a fan of this lipbalm,it's too waxy and heavy on the lips and also it's not as moisturizing as I would like it to be. will not repurchase.
They changed the formula to Burts Bees since it was bought out by Clorox. I find it a lot more drying and it smells weird now.
If you're not happy with the new formula I found a better alternative: it's called Sierra Bees and you can buy it as Iherb (I got it as a free gift with purchase). Natural ingredients and works so well.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product is a bit pricey for a lipbalm but so worth it. It may kind of burn if your lips are VERY VERY dry and you bite/lick them a lot but it does restore your lips to their natural state and is AMAZING. Definetly re-purchasing and highly recommend
For me the product isnt worth the hype. Its too waxy and the after 30 mins my lips starts to dry again the only thing I love about this product is the smell. Will not repurchase again.
This product is really incredible. For a cheap, sensible lip balm, it really delivers and I love the fact that it is totally natural. It makes my lips plump and tingly, and it is incredibly moisturizing. I have tried every lip balm/chapstick/lip butter out there, and this is really the only product that has really delivered. I highly recommend this to anyone. It smells fresh and clean, like mint and honey. It is very moisturizing, unlike Chapstick and Eos brands. It stays on for hours and you don't need to reapply as often as with other products. Highly recommend. HG product for me.
I've gone through a lot of these for a reason. I love how plump they make my lips look and feel. I live lip products that give me a nice tingly feeling such as this one. On days my lips are just dead and dry and ugly, I put this on a viola! Nice plump lips again. Its best under matte lipstick in my opinion. I have very full lips but they get dry and this really makes them as smooth as I want them to be.
Not only are my lips dry and chapped but they are also very sensitive to flavours. Over the years I've tried the rosebud salve lip balms, lip smackers and they've all just irritated my lips. Chapped dead skin is easily removed in the morning when I slap this on at night. Though some may not like the waxy feel of it or the peppermint, the original Burt's Bees is a must have in my opinion!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Well, I thought I was going to love this. It's all natural ans burts bee is a well known and loved brand. I didn't like this chapstick at all. My number one issue is that this is super hard to put on. It doesn't glide on nicely, it gets hard all the time and when your in a hurry and apply this it will totally rip the skin off your lips. I found this to be a problem in the winter months. I have to constantly reapply this, it doesn't keep my lips soft. I like the peppermint cool feeling but that is about it. I wouldn't buy it again. I still have the one I bought left.
This lip balm is amazing! The cold, tingy feeling you get when you put it on your lips is so refreshing and it really moisturizes them. The packaging is really simple and easy to fit into a pocket or purse.
One thing I don't like about this lip balm is that I find it wears off quickly and I have to reapply it pretty often.
Overall though, I love this Burt's Bees product. I've been using it for years and I haven't found anything better. :)

I was amazed at how much additional speed i was able to get. Also they are easy to adapt and the ability to control is just a couple rides away (Posted on 9/21/11)

Porsche Cayenne Turbo CLR 550 GT by Lumma Design
Name: Lumma Design CLR 550 GT
Based On: Porsche Cayenne Turbo
Stock Power: 500 horsepower, 516 pound-feet
Tuned Power: N/A, coming later
The majority of vehicles in this list feature the engine as the most impressive talking point, but that's not the case with the Lumma Design Porsche Cayenne CLR 550 GT -- at least for now. As of now, the CLR 550 GT is purely a dress-up kit for the new 2011 Cayenne, but given Lumma Design's experience with other Porsches and SUVs, the engine tuning kit is sure to be incredible once it reaches the market. As a reference, Lumma Design builds a 700-horsepower Panamera, which uses the same twin-turbocharged, 4.8-liter V-8 as the Cayenne Turbo.
According to Lumma Design, the 2011 Cayenne sports a "somewhat reserved appearance" that the tuning firm worked to correct with its CLR 550 GT appearance package. Like the all of the tuned SUVs here except the G-Couture, the CLR 550 GT loses all of its off-road prowess in exchange for looks. This is clear in Lumma Design's aim to make the Cayenne more aerodynamic and produce more downforce.
In the name of aerodynamics, Lumma Design adds a new carbon-fiber front splitter that sits substantially lower than the Cayenne's standard front fascia. The splitter is also designed to increase downforce. Lumma Design also crafts a new carbon fiber and Kevlar hood designed to slipstream the Cayenne and dissipate heat from the soon-to-be-tuned engine. The new hood also incorporates a taller windshield wiper cover to further reduce drag.
Moving rearward, Lumma Design adds lower, aerodynamically optimized side skirts complete with rear brakes ducts. Both the front and rear wheel arches are widened as well. At the very back of the car is a new Lumma Design carbon fiber rear spoiler and diffuser, which both help to increase downforce on the SUV. Large 22- and 23-inch wheels are available as well.
All of Lumma Design's exterior modifications have been made in preparation for what is sure to be a monster engine We should know more about Lumma Design's interior customization program later into the Cayenne's production cycle.

Hayden Panettiere (seen here at last night's ESPY awards) dropped her new music video "Wake Up Call" today, and I'll be the first to admit the song is fucking clown shoes. That said, I definitely saw Hayden's panties in the video, so who do I speak to about getting this thing an Oscar? It's hands do...

This is a "classic" Jetson's episode! Around the time this gem of a cartoon was made, there were many singers, all male groups, girl groups, etc. Baby, Baby, Baby,ah,ah,ah! I think it was loosely based on Elvis Presley, without imitating his voice!... (read more)

Project Scope MBGH's work in examining the value-based purchasing activities of employers has identified that the utilization and management of specialty drugs is a major focus and challenge. Specialty drugs are increasingly being produced for a rising number of conditions and it is estimated that more than 800 specialty pharmacy drugs are currently in the pipeline with costs expected to represent up to 40% of an employer's total medical spend by 2020.
Although some research efforts have been conducted in the area of specialty pharmacy, most have not explored the following key elements this employer driven initiative seeks to target:
This initiative involves four Work Streams (Work Streams Overview) and is supported by an Employer Advisory Council of large, national self-insured employers in Chicago. A national employer benchmarking survey was launched in 2011 to determine the employer perspective on medical and pharmacy costs, current benefit offerings and best practices (See 2011 National Employer Survey results and 2011 MBGH News Release). A follow-up benchmarking survey was launched in the Fall of 2012 and provided a more in-depth view of the larger employer's perspective of the specialty pharmacy environment. In fact, survey results indicated that almost 50% of respondents had an above average understanding of specialty pharmacy benefits, while 37% have an average understanding. View additional key findings and access full 2012 Results View Poster Presentation for 2014 AVBCC Conference Employer Toolkit on Specialty Pharmacy Benefits (launched January 2013 - www.specialtyrxtoolkit.com) This MBGH toolkit will provide employers with information, best practices, and resources in the following areas: (1) Specialty Pharmacy 101: Assists employers in better understanding the basics and economics of Specialty Pharmacy and related benefits (2) Managing Specialty Benefits: Supports employers in effectively contracting and partnering with their PBMs, Health Plans and Specialty Pharmacies (3) Supporting At-Risk Populations: Helps employers understand the importance of managing their at-risk populations and communicating specialty benefits to their covered population For more information on this initiative, contact Cheryl Larson, Vice President

Fabricating Nature
Posted by: leighTagged in: technology, digital revolution, bioprinting, 3D printing
Nature is unbelievably complex. Animals and humans have evolved in this world without in-built digital systems. Our minds have evolved in ways that allow us to make sense of our environment, so that we can abstract and categorize the things that we encounter and experience. As such, we have an in-built tendency to represent the world in terms of simple, clearly identifiable boundaries of space and objects. When we create objects ourselves, we continue to follow this path without even realizing it. Traditional manufacturing and design assumes that each object, or each independent part of a larger object, is made of a single homogeneous material. This makes human-made objects clearly stand apart from nature. A tree, for example, is not made from a single material and nor does it have 'parts' that are as easily discernible as we would think - if we look up close we can see that roots blend into the trunk, which blends into branches which blend into twigs, which blend into leaves. Our abstractions are useful for recognition and categorization, but they do have limitations when it comes to creating or recreating complex objects like this.
Historically then, we've interacted with nature through powerful but reductive simplifications and approximations - the way we look at it, the way we model it and the way we attempt to reproduce it. Cheap computing power is now extending our capabilities, putting us in a far better position to understand the complexities of nature. We have better control over matter and can design and fabricate a whole new class of human-made objects. These objects offer more localized, dynamic, sustainable and natural interactions with the world. Unfortunately, we've hit a stumbling block. The current generation of digital design and fabrication systems have failed to fully capitalize on the raw computational power that is available to us. We still can't create objects that offer a comparable wealth of detail, complexity and combination of materials that we find in nature. Here is an example of how a typical user might model a watermelon using 3D modeling tools and a real watermelon. There is little to compare other than the rough outside shape. How can we truly represent a slice of watermelon digitally?
Let us take a very basic example, one that is even human made, a glass marble. Marbles are simple children's toys, but how can we exactly model their construction?
The only real 'surface' here is the outer shape, but modelling it with polygons will always leave it faceted. Perhaps we can try to overcome this inaccuracy and using a parametric surface, but can we efficiently represent the minute chips made by numerous games of marbles? Still, a spherical surface won't allow us to define what's inside. Perhaps each of those different colors could be a separate part? If we look closely at the swirls we can see that they don't have sharply defined edges. The colors mix and blend together throughout the interior. Our traditional approach of modelling with surfaces falls apart completely. Our entire approach is wrong because this is a problem that requires real volumes with no neatly defined 'parts'.
Is this a fair example? Would anyone actually want to recreate a watermelon or 3D print a glass marble? Perhaps not, but what about a human organ such as a kidney. That's also a challenging volumetric problem and one that would be of huge benefit if we could design and fabricate them as required.
So, the way we think about the world allows us to make sense of it, but doesn't necessarily let us reproduce it. Existing digital systems have followed our natural way of thinking and have led us to an impasse. They are imprecise and fundamentally incapable of accurately representing real objects. If we want to move forwards, we will need to take a very different approach.

Friends & Family Discount for Orange Lake Resort, Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, and More
As an employee of InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), I am able to share the IHG "Friends and Family" discount with anyone and everyone. This discount is good at all IHG brand hotels: Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Crowne Plaza, Staybridge Suites, Candlewood Suites, Hotel Indigo, and InterContinental Hotels/Resorts.
<link deleted - broken link> There are several IHG brand hotels in Orlando, including the Orange Lake Resort villas, Holiday Inn SunSpree LBV, Staybridge Suites - LBV and the Holiday Inn - Walt Disney World near Downtown Disney. This discount is good for hotels around the globe. Feel free to pass it on to your friends. |
Thank you for posting this! I think I will use this offer for an upcoming stay at a Holiday Inn. I was debating between the Holiday Inn and another chain-both had very good reviews-but this sealed the deal! |
Happy to pass it on!
thank you so much!! I have been trying to find a way to budget a one day trip to disney and this helps so much for me!!
thanks again!! |
<edited to remove expiration date>
<edited to remove expiration date>
thank you so much for posting this. i am looking into it now. something that i can't seem to find on the site....
1.) all i need to get the rate is the voucher they have on the website presented when i check in and i just have to list your name on that voucher, correct? 2.) does the reservation have to be paid in full when i book? |
awesome. thanks for the info and the quick reply. sweet deal...now to go home and convince the hubby that we MUST go and see the Christmas decorations at WDW!
Hi what a great deal, looks like the website says 12/31/09? Is this true? or is it really over? Thanks Michelle
Thanks so much we needed a room in Virginia Beach next week and in DC for the Miley concert.
I'm leaning between Staybridge Suites LBV and Orange Lake Resort. Any input?
Any reason I should choose a different one of these hotels? I will be alone and will have a car. |

Rex is pissed? What about the Fans?
Posted by Erik Manassy on Oct 1, 2012 in Main | 2 comments
Where do the Jets go from here? The obvious answer is up, right? Have we hit rock bottom yet? Do we need to make a change at QB? Rex was as pissed as I have seen him after a game.
Think he's pissed, how about the fans? Do you think we like spending our hard earned money to see that goose egg and worse yet, have to endure a sea of Red from the opposition's fans. Where were the Jets fans?
Take a listen to my podcast this morning.
SportsCenter When asked about a potential Jets' QB change, Rex Ryan said, "I think Mark is the answer… contract has nothing to do with it." 9/30/12 5:40 PM |
"I was going to say we got our butt kicked, but really …… there's no two ways, in or outs about it."
http://www.facebook.com/people/Jake-Dawson/100000836147258 Jake Dawson
There may have been more 49ers fans at the game yesterday than Giants fans at the Christmas Eve game. Between the lack of performance and effort by the team, Mark Sanchez's "too bad" comments, and the sea of red we had to endure (those of us who went to the game), it was just an overall embarrasing day to be a Jets fan.

An absolute debacle. Anemic offense is putting it mildly Jets were actually helped on some penalty plays that created a few 1st downs. What a poor performance.

QisDesign Coral 17.72" H Table Lamp
The Coral Light, an LED lighting fixture, is inspired by the exquisite corals in the ocean. Imitating how natural coral reflects rays of light through the living sea, the Coral Light creates a visually mesmerizing effect as it graces a table, ceiling or floor. Thanks to a special light diffusion technique, the light emitted by the LED bulbs is evenly distributed on the edge of each diffuser. The design is inspired by exquisite corals in the ocean. Imitating how natural coral reflects rays of light through the water, the Coral Light radiates lights through the diffusers to create a dreamy and cozy illumination. To carry out this project, the Qis design team collaborated with Taiwan's National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium, an internationally renowned aquarium with expertise in coral preservation. Based on the museum's marine knowledge, the design successfully delivers the sparkling light effect that can usually be seen in the underwater world.
QisDesign's creative team is led by Chief Design Officer Manfred Wang. Having graduated from the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design with a Master's degree in industrial design, coupled with strong experiences in Dr. Ing., h.c.F., Porsche AG, Wang plays a crucial role in fulfilling Qisdesign's ambitions for exquisite product creation.
Wang joined the BenQ Group in 2002, a company consisting of near 20 companies specializing in high value-added fields such as TFT-LCD, lifestyle applications, biotech, medical services, and brand management. With these ventures, the BenQ Group generated a revenue of $25 billion in 2010. Shortly after joining the company, Wang established BenQ's Lifestyle Design Center and introduced the concept known as the "meeting of opposites," which is a mix of Chinese and Western design concepts. Under Wang's leadership, the BenQ group has obtained more than 300 prestigious international design awards.

Great lamp for a modern room Volodymyr from Washington, DC– Verified Buyer The lamp looks really nice. I have it in orange just as pictured, and everyone who sees it, loves it and can't give enough compliments. The sphere is on a small side, but the larger one wouldn't look good with the LED light, I think. The chrome stem and base look appropriately modern as well, and compliment the sphere nicely. It also looks good and stands out in a more eclectic setting. I would definitely recommend this lamp if one is looking for a modern look overall. |
Attractive table lamp Daniel Huntington from Virginia Love it. Great decorative light. Works well in our home and the light has a beautiful finish. No complaints. Quality is high. |
