I think ginseng gives me an extra brain boost, so I wanted to try Teavivre's offering. This oolong looks like little jade pebbles: a ginseng and licorice coating that slowly dissolves with each steep. I know I shouldn't have put a teaspoon of this in my cramped one teaspoon infuser, but I did anyway. I didn't think I should use more than a teaspoon because of the ginseng. I wouldn't want too much.
Steep #1 // just boiled // 3 min
Even though the water is at boiling, opening the infuser, it seems like the ginseng as hardly dissolved, yet there is plenty of flavor from the ginseng even if the oolong hasn't been able to soak up the water yet. Again, I should have used my basket infuser, but I didn't want all of the ginseng to dissolve into the first cup anyway. This flavor is very intriguing and different to me, so I could sip down the entire mug really fast if I'm not careful. I'm usually not a fan of licorice but this is delicious. Maybe the flavor alone is refreshing enough to wake up my brain.
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3 min
Another cup where the ginseng has barely dissolved, but the color of the cup is a dark gold, so I know something is happening! The flavor is obvious anyway: it tastes grassy, with hints of minerals, the sweet licorice is a nice addition… I think it would be worse without it anyway.
Steep #3 // just boiled // 3 min
I think this could be the tea of a hundred steeps! The ginseng is still mostly there, so I'll have to try it again in the basket infuser another time. I'm getting hints of the oolong anyway. I'd buy some of this tough ginseng oolong so each steep slowly releases more ginseng for boosts of brain power throughout the day!
Steep #4 // half mug // just boiled // quite a few minutes
This didn't get too strong at all, even with quite a few minutes. As usual, I think I should have went with Teavivre's parameters of a few minutes to steep in the first place… they always know how to steep their teas!
Edited to add: Apparently there is no licorice in this one. I wish they would say what it is. Is that just the flavor of ginseng then?
You know I swear there is licorice in he his but when I have asked, they say there isn't! I love it, though. It was the first tea I had hubby bring me at the hospital after my surgery a couple of weeks ago, and it was brilliant.

One of the strongest fundamental supply/demand arguments now being discussed in the mining world of late has been the resurgence of both demand and price in the world of fuel-grade uranium developments. Several nations, specifically including China, Germany, Japan and the USA have announced plans to increase reliance upon pollution-free nuclear power and the market price of uranium has responded to these developments by surging of late,
Vancouver-based Cue Resources Ltd., through its 100%-owned Yuty Project located in the South American nation of Paraguay, is working diligently to take advantage of this growing interest in uranium developments.
Yuty has had a long history of exploration and development prior to Cue's final acquisition in September, 2008 and the exploration data which has accumulated over more than 30 years has provided the company with a valuable library of information. Based on this collection of data including 266 previous drill holes plus drilling by Cue of 218 holes totaling about 28,000 meters between June, 2007 and August, 2008, the company was able to issue an NI 43-101 compliant Partial Resource Estimate in April, 2009 which showed an Indicated resource of 9.0 million tonnes @0.042% eU3O8 containing 8.3 million lbs eU3O8 and an Inferred Resource of 1.1 million tonnes @0.05% eU3O8 containing 1.2 million lbs eU3O8.
There are four ore zones at the Yuty Project and most attention is now centered on developing the San Antonio Zone which has been the focus of the majority of previous exploration work. On November 23, 2010 the company announced it was commencing the continuation of drilling at San Antonio. The new program will consist of 30 holes totaling approximately 3,600 meters and is designed to test the western extension of the main deposit. Three drill rigs are being employed in order to meet the projected completion goal of year-end 2010. This drill program is a follow-up on earlier exploration work started by Cue in 2007.
Cue has been able to obtain a 20-year exploration/exploitation concession law which was granted by the Paraguayan government in August 2008 and one notable feature is there are no restrictions on exporting product. Given the anticipated future increases in fuel-grade uranium demand from outside nations, this feature could be of considerable importance to Cue in coming years. Cue's near-term goals include increasing the resource near-term to over 10,000,000lbs; advancing exploration to the SW to develop a further 3-4 million lbs of resources; and also working to maximize resource grades.
NOTE: A full report will be completed following a property visit to Yuty at the earliest opportunity.

Hello everyone. I have 3 forty five foot rows of Wando peas that will be picked this week end. Firstly , how long will they keep ,and is the fridge the best place to store them till shelled? Secondly is there a tool to shell them with? I'm afraid I will have let them go too long, but Saturday is the first chance I'l'l have to pick them Thanks in advance, Keith |

Secondly is there a tool to shell them with. **************************************************** Ha, that is my problem too. I love growing them but not shelling. Anybody have any suggestions. |

In the days of wringer washers, they were run through the ringers which popped the peas out nicely. Today ther are dozens of pea shellers on the market ranging from el cheapos to commercial shellers costing over a thousand bucks. |

Had crank pea sheller - $50 including shipping Electric but cheap pea sheller $200 Electirc Taylor sheller $500 Beyond these, you get into heavy duty commercial pea shellers. You can purchase most any of the above on Ebay, sometimes at a good discount. I paid $275 for a used Taylor off Craigslist. |
Fusion power, does it work? I'm talking nice soft garden peas. Not ripe or hard . Thanks again |
keith100 - on the plant is the best place to keep them until shelled.That's why for fresh consumption it's best to grow them in succession so as not to have a whole lot ready to pick at once. Failing that the keep them in the fridge. Peas start to deteriorate in flavour as soon as they're picked because the sugars start to convert to starch immediately. I always shell by hand so I can't help you with that part of the question. Do you intend to freeze them since you have so many? |
Floral, yes freezing is the ticket. Yesterday I picked 2 rows , had a nice batch for lunch and blanched and froze 8 pints. Today I picked the third row, 5 more pints on there way to the freezer now. I 'm afraid the first two rows are going to be in need of picking before I can do it , witch will be Thursday. I have a neighbor that may be able to pick on Tuesday. I hope he can , because I can just about see the pods filling. Seems there is always some snag , lol . Sort of like fishing. |

Trunk - Wood, Stud Detail, Greece, circa 1940s Reg. No: HT 7854
- Summary:
- Rectangular shaped trunk made from wood and lined on the exterior with metal sheeting. The trunk was brought to Australia by Nick Karathanasopoulos, when he returned to Australia with his wife and daughter. Nick had first migrated to Australia in the early 1920s. Nick and his family travelled on the 'Strathmore' and were the only non-service people on board. During the journey they were detained in Port Said due to the war for four months, hence the transit reference on the trunk. The reference to Pavilion L'Esplanade on the lid of the trunk suggests that Nick was addressing his luggage to his brother George, who was living in St Kilda at that time. It is likely that Nick and his family stayed with George when they first arrived.
- Description:
- Rectangular shaped trunk made from wood and lined on the exterior with metal sheeting. The trunk has a domed lid, and features decorative stud work. The sides of the trunk also have stencilled images. The Inside of the trunk is lined with purple and white striped fabric. There is extensive text which has been painted onto the Lid in white.

Sulu Archipelago
Su·lu Archipelago
geographical name \ˈsü-(ˌ)lü\Definition of SULU ARCHIPELAGO
Sulu Archipelago
(Concise Encyclopedia)Volcanic and coral archipelago, southwestern Philippines, between Mindanao and Borneo. A double island chain, it extends 170 mi (270 km) and includes about 400 named islands and more than 500 unnamed ones; they cover an area of 1,038 sq mi (2,688 sq km). The islanders were converted to Islam by Abu Bakr in the mid-15th century. The Spanish tried, largely unsuccessfully, to subdue the inhabitants, whom they called Moros. The islands finally became a Spanish protectorate in the 19th century, and in 1899 came under U.S. authority. The archipelago was ceded to the Philippines in 1940. The islands have long provided a haven for smugglers.

Nothing about hybrids or cultivars like David's site though. Make sure to also see the big color poster from that article of the different Iochroma blooms and how they are related to each other here. - Tom |

College Basketball's Big-Play Goggles
In the Latest On-Court Fad, Players Make Specs With Their Fingers After Hitting Threes; Does Anyone Know Why?
Since we're all brushing up on the finer points of college basketball this week, here's a new vocabulary term to remember: "Three-point goggles."
As you'll see in the NCAA tournament this week, players on teams from Duke to Kentucky will celebrate three-point buckets by fitting themselves with pantomimed spectacles, the kind your kindergartener might make while pretending to be a superhero.
To make the gesture, players form the 'A-OK' sign over both eyes to form "goggles" with their thumbs and forefingers, and (to denote the change in the score) stick the other three fingers up in the air.
Duke star Nolan Smith, Vanderbilt's John Jenkins and Marquette's Darius Johnson-Odom have all donned the goggles in recent games. Kentucky freshman guard Doron Lamb was an early adopter: He's been doing the goggles for at least two months now.
The goggles are the latest fad in a sport that's increasingly full of them. A few years ago the gesture of the moment was "jersey-popping," where players would tug at the chest of their jerseys to show off the school's name. Pre-game dance huddles have had their moment, and continue to be popular. Some players continue to beat their chests after big shots, too.
Last season's craze was the inexplicably popular John Wall dance, which was named for Wall, the star Kentucky guard who later went on to be the No. 1 pick in the 2010 NBA draft. The "dance," such as it was, involved making a muscle with one's bicep and twisting one's fist back and forth.
"Last year we had the John Wall dance," dumbfounded Kentucky coach John Calipari said. "I didn't even know. Now there's a goggles T-shirt that came out, and I'm like, what is that? I'm just trying to make sure they run back on defense."
The goggles started earlier this season in Portland as a joke. Patty Mills, a guard for the NBA's Trail Blazers, liked to tease teammate Rudy Fernandez about his poor eyesight. "I'd always give him a little bit—well, not a little bit, but a lot of grief for not being able to see," Mills said. In the first half of one particular game, Fernandez struggled from long range. Mills said he told Fernandez at halftime that he needed glasses or contact lenses—something.
After halftime, Fernandez hit a few three-pointers. He turned to Mills on the bench and brought his pointer finger and thumb together in a circle over his eyes, with his three other fingers extended upward. "It was like, 'I don't need glasses. I've got these three goggles that work perfectly,'" Mills said.
The goggles caught on with the rest of the team and later, Blazers fans. Before long, as with any worthwhile fad, there were T-shirts. The rest of the NBA took notice, too: The Denver Nuggets' J.R. Smith has flashed his own goggles, as has Detroit's Ben Gordon.
The fad has filtered down to the college ranks and grown to the point now that the three goggles sometimes don't even have anything to do with a three-point shot.
On Sunday, when CBS revealed that St. John's had won a spot in the tournament, the network cut to a live shot of the celebrating team. One of its guards, Dwight Hardy, could be seen mugging for the camera by putting on the goggles.
Teammates had no idea what he was doing. "I can't even tell you, to be honest," said injured guard D.J. Kennedy. "I think he's just showing his love for his neighborhood."
While some teams don't even know where the goggles came from or what the gesture means, others are fully aware. Marquette's players started to mark three-pointers with goggles for their Jan. 10 home game against Notre Dame after Wesley Matthews, a Marquette alumnus now with the Trail Blazers, called Johnson-Odom, a Marquette junior guard, and told him about the latest trend in Portland. "He made sure that we did it," Johnson-Odom said.
When it comes to the goggles, the Golden Eagles are more fanatical than other teams. Because they were early adopters, Johnson-Odom said he expects the fad to endure past this season in Marquette. His teammates wear the goggles after every made three-pointer—and he says students on campus like to flash the goggles on campus. He says he's looking forward to the NCAA tournament, when the three goggles will be on display for everyone to see—even if Marquette's coach, Buzz Williams, pretends not to notice. "He knows that we're doing it, but he doesn't pay attention to it," Johnson-Odom said.
The goggles may have the look of tomfoolery, but most coaches don't seem to mind that their kids are doing it. In fact, the sight of players having such fun might be considered a recruiting tool.
"What happens is the players here are known," said Kentucky's Calipari. "People know who Wall is, who DeMarcus Cousins is, who Josh Harrellson and Darius Miller are. That's what it's about. If that's what happens, that's great."
From Portland, the sight of all these college kids donning make-believe goggles is an unexpected sight. "It's kind of weird to see it catch on," Mills said. "It's cool when you see it. Like, oh, we had a part in that."

Most Expensive Iphone App
The most expensive iPhone app actually can be handed to a few. Mixing together the past and present, there are three apps that tie for the top spot. Here are more information on three of the most expensive iPhone apps that may be seen to date.
I Am Rich ($999.99). This app was, believe it or not, briefly approved by Apple. It did nothing, except inform one's friends that they were rich, according to the German developer. Reportedly selling eight copies, this "scam" was clearly marked in the app description It remains an interesting story in the history of iPhone apps.
iVIP Black ($999.99). The iVIP Black app is also for rich people. That is one of the requirements in this UK service, where you must be a millionaire to take advantage of what it offers. For the one thousand dollar price tag, users can get a number of exclusive goods and services, such as private islands, penthouses, and VIP lounges, among other items. The company, iVIP Ltd., also sells the blue ($449.99) and red (Free) versions.
BarMax: California Edition ($999.99). Now with a New York edition, this app was the first from BarMax to target law students. For the California (and now New York, alternatively) bar exam, this expensive app gave 1,371 previously used multistate essay questions and 1,000 used essay questions for its users. In the world of bar exam preparation, BarMax seeks to fulfill an expensive need with this "deal." There are reported plans for other state versions as well, as these well-received apps from BarMax tie others at the $999.99 price mark for the most expensive iPhone apps.

Being in the middle of the supply chain can be a little confusing. On a daily basis, you find yourself serving many masters. Your employer, who at the end of the day, would seem to trump all, but you are also getting pressure from your customers and in the other direction on the supply chain-suppliers, wineries etc. Unfortunately, these 3 are basically never aligned in their needs.
We're all guilty of it, judging people by the wine they (think) they like. Some of us actually (but not sincerely) tell people to "drink what they like" There are certain things you are supposed to say you like at every juncture of your wine evolution. Eventually, you start saying things like "Americans are so dumb, they don't even know the wines of (blah, blah, blah obscure region).
I've been wanting to write this post for some time, but each time, it became too specific and autobiographical. You see, breaking up with someone in this business is more emotionally complex than one would expect. I've done it many times. I have parted ways with 17 different wineries in 5 years. 17! I've stopped working with some half dozen distributors.
There are exactly 2 kinds of buyers in the world. Buyers that get it and buyers that don't. Buyers that get it, endeavor towards balance, diversity and harmony, buyers that don't, are too caught up in one thing (for everyone, that one thing is different). The buyer that "Gets it": Looks for a solid worldview for their selection, diverse enough to have something for everyone that ...
Sushi is a special and magical product. It may take a lifetime to master the balance of flavors, the perfect cuts, the technique. In the seminal film, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, this is the theme that is hammered home from the start. Jiro seemingly places sushi above everything, even family at times. The 85 yr old master believes that his son is still too green.
I've got to assume if you are reading a wine sales blog, you are aware of the phenomenon of OND. It's a topic I've already discussed here. For the uninitiated. OND is October-December, and historical conventional wisdom suggests that nearly 1/2 your sales for the year is this time period. The thing is, that's just not the case anymore. I spend a lot of time staring at spreadsheets.

Update: The transfer bonuses are now live!
Good news this evening as the American Express Membership Rewards program has announced not one but two transfer bonuses that begin at midnight! The first is a 20% transfer bonus with British Airways that runs from 10/15 – 12/31/13. The second is a 30% transfer bonus with Virgin Atlantic that runs from 10/15 – 11/30/13.
One of my very favorite things about the Membership Rewards program is that they periodically run transfer bonuses with some of their hotel and airline partners. This makes the points that you earn with cards like the The Enhanced Business Gold Rewards Card® from American Express OPEN, Amex Premier Rewards Gold Card, or The Mercedes Benz Platinum Amex stretch that much further, which is key when you are earning and spending miles and points for a family.
20% Transfer Bonus to British Airways Avios:
The Membership Rewards program has had previous transfer bonuses to Avios that were as high as 50% in 2012. The most recent transfer bonus was a 35% transfer bonus that ended in June 2013. A 20% transfer bonus obviously isn't as high as some of the previous transfer bonuses, but it is obviously better than nothing, and I like that it is valid for such a long period of time. This means that you don't need to make any speculative transfer now, but instead you can just take advantage of the deal if you find yourself needing Avios over the next 2.5 months.
I get some serious value out of using Avios on flights with partners like American Airlines. For example, soon I am going to Dallas and while flights were going for around $150 each way from Houston when I needed to book, it was just 4,500 Avios each direction. This is the best miles and points deal out there from short, but expensive flights serviced by British Airways partners. With this 20% transfer bonus, my 4,500 Avios flight would have just essentially required 3,600 Membership Reward points. Here is a post with some of my favorite uses of Avios as well as a step-by-step guide on how to book American Airlines flights with Avios.
30% Transfer Bonus to Virgin Atlantic:
One of the things that many people like about the Virgin Atlantic program is that their miles transfer 1:2 to the HIlton HHonors program. The normal transfer rate is 1,000 Membership Reward points: 1,000 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Miles, but with this you will get 30% more. When you then transfer those to Hilton, you will do so at 1:2. This means that if you transfer 20,000 Membership Reward points to Virgin Atlantic during the promo, that will become 26,000 Flying Club Miles. You can then transfer 25,000 of those to Hilton HHonors where they will become 50,000 HHonors points. Hilton has devalued their program some in the last 6 months, but there are still some good family friendly redemption options, so this might make sense for some. Using Virgin Atlantic miles for flights can be tough since they do charge some relatively high taxes and fees for doing so.
Both transfer bonuses are set to go live at midnight tonight, and will be hard coded into the Membership Rewards transfer screen so there is no registration that is required. Will you be taking advantage of either transfer bonus?

[…] Thanks to Mommy Points for pointing out the recent announcement regarding transfer bonuses from American Express Membership Rew…. […]
If you have the BA Visa card it's a better deal still as the earning rate is 1.25X.
@Jeremy – Oh, so if I have a BA Visa, I can transfer all of my Amex MR points to BA at a rate of 1.25? No, I can't. The earning rate of the BA Visa has absolutely no bearing on this blog post. Don't confuse other readers.
Nice job, before anyone else got the info They need to do better than 20%, however….
Yes! I have some leftover points just hanging out and I need to cancel the 2- amex gold's I got with a 50,000 pt bonus before my annual fees hit. I think we may be shooting for Hawaii in 2014 so it would be a speculative transfer. (I had planned on cashing out the last points for Hyatt GC's until this post, though I didn't really want to as I'm currently stockpiling Ultimate rewards with the Islands in mind) I've not had any experience with Avios. Will I sign up for a program or do I have to get a British Airways card to take advantage of them?
Saving my MR points for either Singapore ot Cathay first class. Mrs flight likes the idea of one of those double beds…
I'm wondering if I transfer to Virgin Atlantic and British Airways will the mile requirements still be the same if I use their travel partners?
hmmm, or would I want to take the Virgin Atlantic bonus for Island hopping?! We do plan to see 2 or 3 of them.
20% they had me at no at hello! only the trigger happy should approach this sorry deal…………..
Have been waiting for a BA transfer offer but 20% does not have me excited, especially since I took advantage of the 35% transfer earlier this year. Not sure what to do now. I wonder if there will be a higher transfer next spring?
@Jonathan I was not trying to confuse readers, I'm merely informing them that a 20% transfer bonus on their MR may not be their best option if they have the BA Visa. So, if you're trying to save up Avios for a trip, I wouldn't start using an Amex card (unless it gets double, triple, etc points) if they had been using their BA Visa.
BTW BA Visa right now has a no annual fee sign-up.
I totally agree Jeremy's 1.25 BA card is a better deal that the 20% offer….plus in Jeremy's case he he on his way toward the 30k companion pass that would trump if even further……..a lot of ifs but 20% WILL NT BE the best deal in the room over the next year……only shoot if you have no other choice………..
Thanks for the post MP.
However, its 12:08 in the morning of 10/15 here is the Pacific Time Zone and 1,000 MR points is still showing as converting to 1,000 BA Miles…
Jeremy, I'm not sure it should be one card vs the other. If you are big on Avios, honestly you should have both. This transfer bonus is smaller than previous ones, but even this year we had one that put the MR earnings at higher than the BA Visa earnings if that is how you used your points. Even now, I mostly charge things on my Amex cards that earn a bonus there, so for example my 3x on airfare on the Biz or Personal Gold Reward cards means I am earning essentially 3.6 Avios per airfare dollar charged if transferred during this bonus. Still, I say it is not an either or scenario.
Just Saying, I don't think it is the trigger happy who should use this deal. I think it is those who need miles/points in one of these programs for a redemption during the promo. If you have no Avios, and need some right now for a redemption then this is certainly better than no bonus, but I would not make speculative transfers.
Glenn, not sure what time in the night it was actually loaded, but it was showing for me when I logged on at 6AM Central. -
I agree this is just for the desperate who have no AVIOS and need AVIOS points to use in the next month or so. Otherwise wait for the 40% bonus or 50% offers that tend to come around.
@mommypoints Totally agree that if you get 3x, 2x, on your Amex that trumps the 1.25 with BA Visa. I do happen to have both, but for those deciding which card to get or unsure how to use their miles, it may be best for them to a) wait for another bonus (hopefully another 35-50% one) b) get/use a different card. You are correct this certainly isn't an either/or situation. I'm going to sit this bonus out, though I may take advantage of the Virgin Atlantic offer for transfers to Hilton, use on Hawaiian, or Virgin America.
Damn it! I just did a points transfer to Virgin yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[…] Thanks to Mommy Points for pointing out the recent announcement regarding transfer bonuses from American Express Membership Rew…. […]
I think the Virgin Atlantic sweet spot that I enjoy is a first class ticket on Virgin America from DFW-LAX for 40,000 points. At 31,000 miles x .3 to get you over 40,000 – this seems like a steal. It's at the very least 3-4cpp and a bit nicer than most domestic first class flights.

These are definitely an HG. Picked these up in rivington rose and nude York city at my local target. I'm not usually a big gloss fan anymore, gloss is always too sticky, or too thin and it runs outside my lip line. Not these! These glosses are amazing, they give your lips a nice shiny tint of color, go on smooth, aren't sticky or goopy, and don't run all over your face. They smell and taste awesome too! For $2, these are definitely worth picking up. Will be purchasing again!

Bought this in Nude York City, a sheer golden nude. I had searched high & low for a good nude with some gold in it to go with my golden/bronze eyeshadow looks and this fits the bill perfectly. It has a pretty strong taste & fragrance (vanilla) but it's not too overbearing. Price is fairly cheap (3 euros) so I'm pretty happy with it!
These are my HG lipglosses. I have used these for years. Rivington Rose is a gorgeous peachy-rose color on me. I have other colors, and each and every one of them are moisturizing and beautiful. They last long, and cure chapped lips. They have a faint coconutty smell, but I find it pleasant, not annoying. They are not packaged in anything fancy, but they have a great applicator and they just work!

I got this in Fashion Ave Fuchsia and Midtown Mulberry.
Pros: smells great, cheap, wide color range, looks glossy
Cons: not pigmented, sticky, drying
I didn't really like the formulation of these and to get color transfer, you have to use 3-4 layers of product, which dries my lips out during winter time. The color is not too noticeable unless you get up close and personal even though Fashion Ave Fuchsia looked like it would be. The formulation is better than the old ones but definitely still a lot of room for improvement.

I got this on clearance because my drugstore was getting rid of NYC. These are super inexpensive and they're not a bad gloss. The colour is nice, and they're not overly sticky. They smell like vanilla / cake. I'm not a big lipgloss person so I like that these inexpensive ones are actually pretty good.
I use clear wand lip glosses to mix with my favorite colored micas. I was previously using the clear Wet'n'Wild glosses but I got very tired of the thin consistency that slid everywhere and wore off fast.
I like the NYC Liquid Shine clear gloss a LOT better. It's noticeably thicker without being tacky and has almost the same semi-bouncy, gel-type feel on the lips as some of my favorite Benefit Glosses -- a nice luxurious feel. For the same price as WnW I get more in the tube. The tube is nicer; the newer packaging looks adult and is a big step up from both the old, square, cheap-looking tubes and WnW's tubes with the annoying stickers you can never get off. The formula is thick enough to hold the micas in suspension instead of settling, and it lasts a lot longer on my lips.
It has a faint vanilla scent similar to MAC lipsticks, and no flavor. Overall it's an almost unbelievable quality for the price. I had been considering splashing out for a couple tubes of Sephora's store brand gloss in clear, but there's no way I'll do that now. The NYC Liquid Shine is just as nice and 1/7th the price.

Purchased Rivington Rose and Wine N Dine. Mine must be a newer package design and reformulation as it looks nothing like the packaging pictured here and has a faint coconut scent. Had absolutely no expectation of either being keepers. Hubby commented on how great my lips looked, I looked in the mirror and realized I was wearing Rivington Rose (mid cool toned pink with adult shimmer, not chunky juvenile shimmer) which I had applied hours earlier. Wow. For a $2.30 CVS purchase this is amazing. On to Wine N Dine. I'm always on the lookout for a berry/burgundy/ deep red l/g that doesn't turn purple on my lips. Surprise: found one! This is a deep berry red w/o shimmer. Glides on smoothly and without incident. Dare I say this is really nice, IMO comparable to many HE glosses. Please wear lip liner when you gloss lest you have that greasy sloppy lip look that is offensive, IMO. Memo to gloss wearers who go on and on regarding staying power: gloss has virtually no staying power, regardless the brand! One lippie removed for the text on the tube.

This is my holy grail lip gloss! I have it in the following shades: wine n dine, city`s clear, big apple spice, rivington rose, and midtown mulberry. They have a slight vanilla scent which I happen to like. The wear time for me is about 3 hours. They leave my lips feeling soft and I have no issues with the gloss settling into my lip lines. The color payoff is amazing for how cheap these glosses are. Give it a try, you won't regret it.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The only good thing I can say about this is the scent. Haha. I really dislike this because its so overly sticky and gross feeling
More reviews by malibuvelouria
My favorite lipgloss. I find myself buying a new shade to add to my collection everytime I'm at Target, which is a pretty cheap thrill because they're less than $3. So far, I have:
-Fashion Avenue Fuchsia (a very wearable pink, contrary to what it looks like in the packaging)
-Nude York City (the perfect nude gloss for my fair skintone)
-Honey on the Hudson (slightly deeper than Nude York City)
-Wine & Dine (a beautiful opaque wine color)
-City's Clear (basic clear gloss)
-Peach Melba (LE peachy shimmer shade)
The scent is delicious and I don't detect any sort of flavor. My lips feel cushiony and wonderful after applying. Do yourself a huge favor and try them!

The city was well on its way to setting a record low for the number of shootings and homicides on Dec. 27. Then our borough offered a sad reminder that not all murders require a bullet and a trigger.
At a time when national headlines are drenched in the passionate debate over gun control, and violent shooting deaths seemingly come by the bundle, our city ended 2012 with the fewest murders in its recorded history, with a record low number of shootings to boot.
There were 414 homicides in 2012 as of Dec. 28, shattering the previous record low of 471 set in 2009. The figure represents a 35 percent drop from 2011.
There was also a record low number of shootings in 2012, with 1,353 as of Dec. 23. The previous record was 1,420, also set in 2009.
That sets a low homicide rate of 3.8 per 100,000 residents. Compare that to other major cities such as Chicago, which hit 500 murders on Dec. 27 with one-third the population. At the same rate, New York would have counted 1,400 murders this year.
It all made for an ebullient mood at the graduation of 1,159 new police officers last Thursday at the Barclay's Center, during a ceremony in which Mayor Bloomberg and Commissioner Kelly touted the effectiveness of one of the nation's elite law enforcement agencies.
Yet less than 24 hours earlier, Corona resident Sunando Sen was shoved off a subway platform in Sunnyside, in front of an oncoming No. 7 train.
Welcome to the safest big city in America, where cops are reportedly taking illegal handguns off the street at a clip of 800 per year, but an allegedly deranged Islamophobe can take your life with little more than a MetroCard.
The Mayor and Commissioner have perfected a pre-emptive crime system, the sort only a data-loving duo could espouse and nurture. Operation Impact has put a significant dent in violent crime by flooding the most troublesome neighborhoods with the most cops. It's a common-sense approach: Put the resources where they are needed most. This efficiency is commendable, especially at a time when police ranks are falling short, according to some.
The other controversial police tactic, "stop and frisk," appears to be working. Officers now confiscate 8,000 weapons a year from individuals they stop, according to Kelly. We cannot argue with those figures. But concerns remain. Common sense legislation has removed some of the legal gray areas, but not all. It's still an imperfect system, but it can be fixed in the long term. Any program that takes 800 handguns off the streets must be continued.
But remove shooting deaths and the city still had 177 murders in 2012. Which brings us back to Sunando Sen.
The 46-year-old never knew his killer, Erika Menendez. His tragic death illustrates the deficiencies of data-driven tactics such Operation Impact, Stop and Frisk and Compstat.
The 31-year-old Menendez reportedly has a history of mental health problems and several run-ins with police.
Folks like Menendez are largely off the NPYD's tactical radar. Stopping and frisking her would have produced nothing.
But many like her, who for good or ill need help, have been ignored by our mental health and criminal justice systems. It is that human element that's missing in the NYPD's highly effective tactics. Yes, 414 homicides is a remarkable feat. Bravo. We hope this trend continues.
One less gun would not have saved Sunando Sen's life. Perhaps at least one more vigilant, caring person monitoring Menendez may have stopped such a tragedy.

Sunday, August 23
Progressive Field
Attendance: None
Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Fausto Carmona pitched a season-high seven innings for his first win since May 14, outdueling Seattle's Felix Hernandez in the Indians' 6-1 win over the Mariners.
Carmona (3-8) struck out a season-high eight batters while allowing just one run on five hits and a walk. It also marked the first time in 10 home starts this season that the righty sinkerball specialist has earned a victory.
"Fausto was real good today. His stuff has always been good, and he was consistent with it today," Indians manager Eric Wedge said.
Jhonny Peralta went 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored for the Indians, who took six of 10 this season from Seattle. Luis Valbuena, Travis Hafner and Grady Sizemore each added two hits in the win.
Ken Griffey, Jr. hit a solo home run to account for the Mariners' offense, as Seattle dropped its seventh game in 10 chances. Hernandez (12-5) gave up six runs -- three earned -- on nine hits in six innings while striking out six.
Sizemore tripled to lead off the first for the Indians, and Peralta gave the home team an early lead with a key two-out RBI single.
Seattle tied the game in the fourth on Griffey's leadoff home run to straightaway center field, but Peralta led off the home half with his 10th home run to put Cleveland back in front.
The Indians built themselves a comfortable lead in the sixth. With one out, Peralta reached on an error by second baseman Jose Lopez, and Hafner put runners on the corners with a line drive single to right.
Valbuena followed with a seeing-eye single to right to score Peralta, and Matt LaPorta drilled an RBI double off the left field wall to make it 4-1. Wyatt Toregas then hit a sacrifice fly to center, and Andy Marte capped the big inning with an RBI single to score LaPorta for a five-run cushion.
"I think he lost a little focus after the error," Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu said of Hernandez.
Tony Sipp pitched a perfect eighth for Cleveland, and Chris Perez finished the game with a scoreless ninth to polish off the win.

I was frustrated last night when working on alignment to find that the level built into my Meade wedge does not agree with an external bubble level I placed onto the flat base of the wedge. Not even close. And that external bubble level does not agree with the short torpedo level I placed across the platform on my pier, which the wedge is bolted to. Which should I trust? I tell you, I was sure scratching my head looking at three levels giving different results. I did take the external bubble level and the torpedo level and placed them on my kitchen counter and they showed the same result, so thinking maybe my wedge level is no good and I should just trust a bubble level placed on the flat bottom surface of the wedge? Have you ever had issues with the built-in level on your Meade wedge?

Does it have to be precise? You've already demonstrated that the wedge's level isn't accurate. Ignore it. Use an external level.
Posted 12 July 2013 - 04:02 PM
Adjust until level according to the external level. Then flip the external level end for end - if it still reads the same it is accurate.
Posted 12 July 2013 - 04:11 PM
Always test your level. A lot of them are not level, I test every level I buy and go through more then you would expect before finding a good one.
I once walked out of Harbor Freight with 6 levels. They cost me $4 total. I joked with a friend wondering how they could build them for that price. Sure enough, 3 of them were not useable.
Test levels by putting it on a surface and noting where the bubble is. Then turn it around and the bubble should be in the exact same spot. If it's not, find a new level.

Okay, I went to Lowe's and bought three levels. I think I'm on the right track. My confusion was in that all the documentation I keep reading says to "level according to the bubble level in the wedge." But that level is obviously wrong so I didn't know what to do. I now have an external bubble level on the wedge and also levelled across the fork arms and across the top of the OTA with it pointed straight up. Everything appears to be in order. I also read somewhere that I could take a hammer and chisel and 'pop' the wedge bubble off and replace it with another. May do that for future, but may just upgrade the wedge. Sure do miss my Ultrawedge ... never had a problem with that one. This is the Meade cheapie wedge ($150) that I had to get in a hurry when I sold the last scope and my nice wedge ... Hindsight ...

Why does it matter if the base is precisely leveled? As long as the polar axis is aligned with the pole, the orientation of the base doesn't matter.
Posted 13 July 2013 - 12:24 PM
I think the guy who built our house in the '50s had one of those defective levels. Nothing is square or plumb. NOTHING.
Posted 13 July 2013 - 06:44 PM
As long as the polar axis is roughly aligned with the pole when you check for levelness, you will be consistant from one session to the next even with an inaccurate level. Consistancy is what you are really after.

When the base of a GEM mount is not level, adjustments to the azimuth axis can have an affect on the altitude axis and vice-versa, making the adjustment process less intuitive, less straight forward and more time consuming. A level mount removes or at least minimizes that extra added complication. I find removing extra complications makes my lazy (expletive deleted) life that much easier.

A parent's perspective is different from a teacher's, and that makes sharing information important, this New Hampshire mother of a seventh-grader wrote:
"I have found it is very helpful to let the teachers and appropriate staff know right up front that my daughter takes an extra three steps longer to do most things than other children. Letting the teachers know students' strengths and weaknesses helps the teacher communicate with a student.
"Also, remember that we may know our children very well and certain things they do might not bother us. The teachers may interpret it differently. If your child is more sensitive than others, I would let them know that right up front. It is also helpful to tell them anything that your student has had problems with in the past, that way they know what they are in for!"
"My suggestion — take away recess privilege until she starts to get her work completed — worked. The teacher knows I'm concerned and has helped us work through other issues with my daughter.
"My daughter has improved. She feels that mom and teacher are one team and she is not getting any notes from teacher. We now communicate through emails."
"If you have a difference of opinion with your child's teacher, do not come out swinging, in other words do not go on the offensive," advises a California mother of a 13-year-old. "State your problem, let the teacher give you his or her full explanation and then state your opinion. Try to engage in a sensible conversation and perhaps you can come to a happy medium. There must be a give and take."
Mom Marcy Foster advises: "Be precise in your thoughts and never be intimidating. Map out what you are concerned about and what you believe the steps to resolution require. Always remember you are in the teachers' territory. Let them feel you respect them as educators and embrace their advice.
Also, I know with me, sometimes I have to remind myself that we are a threesome and the grades come from the classroom, therefore the teacher really needs to be in the lead with the understanding you are in charge at home.
It also works when I get an initial rush of anger to write it down as I actually feel it and then immediately tear it up. Then, it seems the real situation is allowed to shine through (just be sure to tear it into little pieces.), and I can address the real needs of my child. After all, that is what it really is all about."
Another parent writes:
"I like to try and model my relational approaches with Steven Covey's work with the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.
"One of them says, 'Seek first to understand, then to be understood.' If I stop and ask why and try and understand the thinking of the teacher/other, it gives me time to think over and understand the true meaning/intentions with the individual and there is a better chance that the interaction will be positive!"
A California mom said teaching children to establish constructive relationships with their teachers is the most important goal:
"I am a California mom of three, ages 14, 10, and 8. My best advice is to not worry so much about the relationship YOU establish and worry more about the relationship that is established between your children and their teacher. Our goal is to raise generations of self-reliant children. Teach them that it is better for them to communicate their feelings. Obviously, adult conversation is sometimes necessary, but encourage your child to build that honest and trusting relationship with their teacher.
"I have had to confront three teachers in my lifetime because of inappropriate things they have said or done. Each time I have gone in very nervous. Only one time did the teacher respond defensively. The other two teachers were very humble and thanked me for bringing it to their attention. If you go in with the, 'I am sure you would want to know how this affected my child' attitude instead of the 'I am mad as h---' attitude, you will be heard AND respected. Sometimes a 'preview' of what you need to talk about in a note makes the appointment with the teacher a little more comfortable — just remember that you want their help. You don't want them to be annoyed by you before you even get a chance to talk."
"The way I have been successful at establishing a rapport with my kids' teachers is by being understanding of their work load and daily demands," one mom wrote. "I recognize that my child is only one of probably 30 kids she's responsible for."
A Virginia mom wrote: "I try to support the teacher any way I can. I buy a small but pretty gift after the first week of school (aromatherapy hand lotion this year) because I know it is a week s/he is working a lot of extra time."
"Cookies. Bake some cookies for the teacher," one reader wrote. "Chocolate chip are the best. That will start your relationship off on a positive note."
And finally, from another:
"Forget flowers and apples, send chocolate in."
Enough said.

The 15-year-old female victim took video of the suspect performing a lewd act on a city bus last month and turned the video over to police, said Myrle Carner, director of Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound.
"She looked over and saw the suspect exposing himself. He tried to engage her in conversation and she absolutely, obviously refused," Carner said.
"She took out her phone camera and actually shot some video and still shots" of the lewd act, Carner said. "When he was done, he went to the exit and left the bus."
Carner, a former detective, said the unidentified teen should be "commended" for her quick-thinking, but he wouldn't advise people to film predators.
"The other side of it is sometimes you can put yourself in a dangerous, precarious position by doing a direct confrontation like that," he said.
Jeff Switzer, a spokesman for King County Metro, said transit officials are working with police to investigate the incident.
"It's important for riders to pay attention to their surroundings on the bus or anywhere in public, for that matter," he said. "Our riders and our drivers and the police continue to work together to keep everyone as safe as possible."
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Crime Stoppers Tipline at 1 (800) 222-TIPS.

protect our earth glasses - set of 4
- the story
Go Green!
These recycled glasses are made from the bottom halves of Bordeaux bottles that were "rescued" on the way to the landfill. A beautifully etched branch design is accompanied by the phrase 'Protect Our Earth' in four languages: English, Spanish (Proteja Nuestra Tierra), Afrikaans/South African (Bewaar Ons A Arde) and French (Proteqez Notre Terre). Made in Wisconsin. Sold as a set of 4. Each is one-of-a-kind and will vary.
Complete your collection with Protect Our Air, Protect Our Water, and Protect Our Wildlife glasses.
Uncommon Knowledge: Each year, roughly 300 tons of glass bottles are donated by wineries and recycling organizations across the country to be turned into glasses like these. And because they are made from prefab bottles that don't need to be crushed or melted, the glasses use less energy to create than normal glassware.
Unfortunately, this item cannot ship outside of the United States at this time.

The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.
Great stuff. I'm not sure what that means there but here that would mean you're well compensated. With that in mind, can I borrow a tenner?
I don't know if I mentioned here but I was made a Technical Project Manager at the beginning of the year (a position made for 2 of us so we don't think about leaving) and I was told I was basically at the very bottom of their researched range... on the plus side this was the first time I went to a fixed salary, and they took all of my previous overtime into account when they made the offer. It's typical for people in this industry to lose anywhere from 10% - 30% of their pay when they make that switch, I lost 2.5%, but gained a lot of hours of my life back so in a sense I came out well ahead.

Pretty happy True Detective got shut out by Breaking Bad in the major categories (except directing). It should have been nominated in the Mini Series - HBO put it in the wrong category because they wanted the prestige of winning (and beating breaking bad, after they passed on it). Really liked True Detective but Breaking Bad (especially Ozymandias..holy ****....single best hour of television I have ever seen) was just superior.

I'm assuming the reason my pizza attempt was declined is because the ****(s) who found it have tapped it out (it had about $600 on it too) but I hold out hope they had some blind guesses at the PIN and got it cancelled that way instead without realising it was a debit. I have to go to the bank tomorrow and sort this **** out; won't be fun.

When we talked with Roberto Lugo last December he told us many provocative things, like how he grew up in a poor neighborhood surrounded by grafitti and how the grafitti ethos (decoration, production and making a mark on the world) influences his own decorative and prolific output. Lugo told us that art saved his family but it seemed to us that Lugo himself was saving his family with his art impulse and his great big heart.

Roberto Lugo's North Philadelphia neighborhood was filled with graffiti and street art when he grew up. And he says that played a big part in forming his aesthetic sensibility. Lugo believes art is for everyone and his ceramic sculpture and functional pots and mugs (featured in the Juvenile In Justice exhibit at Crane Arts last year) make points about that. We spoke with Lugo last December, surrounded by his beautiful pots decorated with colors and patterns from rival gangs. In this excerpt from our conversation, Lugo talks about the difference in people's perception of a bandana when he wears one, and ... More » »

City dwellers face unpredictable environments. Whether descending into subterranean tunnels or ascending into office towers; biking merrily along while inhaling large quantities of carbon monoxide or walking through the stench of human waste that wafts from Center City's overtaxed sewage system, a day in the city is a moment-by-moment negotiation between the inanimate and animate, the accidental and intentional, the old and new.

I'm sorry and embarrassed that I waited so long to see the fascinating exhibition, Shipwreck: Winslow Homer and "The Life Line" at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA), but fortunately it has been held over until Jan. 1, 2013. It offers much more than a look at a single theme by a single painter, albeit the greatest of his American contemporaries. Firstly, the exhibition reminds us of the pervasive influence of the sea in 19th-century, American life. It was considerably more than a means of inter-continental travel. The sea was the underpinning of much of the economy, as is reflected ... More » »
Micah Lidberg, Rise and Fall (Nobrow Press: London) ISBN 978-1-907704-30-7 This surprising and seductive publication tells the story of the prehistory of the natural world, from the rise and fall of the dinosaurs and a meteor falling into the ocean, to the development of mammals, and ultimately, primates. The narrative unfolds entirely visually, with no text at all, across both sides of a concertina fold. Lidberg's style betrays his knowledge of Japanese print-making but is hardly derivative, and he has great sophistication about how the illustration will look in printed form. It is characterized as a book because of its ... More » »
Time, like death, is a subject certain to remain of eternal interest to artists, scholars, and the public at large; two exhibitions currently in Philadelphia approach the subject very differently.
