Although Cathryn "Chef C" Matthes began life as an overweight child, she favored healthy cooking early in her culinary career. She turned toward nutritious foods and recipes, and eventually earned recognition from Southern Living magazine, SpaFinder magazine, and the New York Daily News for her healthful and delicious foods. Today, Chef C helms DelisheeeYo, adhering to her health-conscious mission while preparing light lunch fare and frozen yogurt.
DelisheeeYo's frozen yogurt menu includes one flavor: tart original. Packed with probiotics, this low-fat and lower-sugar yogurt swirls into 3-, 5-, and 7-ounce cups or 10-gallon cowboy hats when no one's looking. A toppings bar, packed with everything from fresh fruit to housemade chocolate-chipotle-cinnamon syrup, dresses up yogurt to each customer's liking. The chef and staff hand-select organic apples, strawberries, and blueberries from local and organic sources when available, and avoid high-fructose corn syrup by importing all of their chocolates and caramels.
Though the yogurt is DelisheeeYo's specialty, Chef C doesn't stop there. Organic greens, peppers, garbanzo beans, and cheeses fill a vegan salad bar. Whole-wheat flour tortillas wrap themselves around nut butter, banana, and honey, or transform into a Trojan Horse to surround hummus and Greek olives. The chef helps customers wash down meals by concocting refreshing specialty drinks from ingredients such as organic Italian lemon juice and agave nectar.
Ramona Fantini tasted her first spoonful of gelato while vacationing in Florence, Italy, in 2002. She was immediately taken with the cold, smooth dessert, and knew that people back home in America would love it too. So when she returned from her vacation, she left her corporate position and opened Pino Gelato. At her shop, artisans use a precise technique and special equipment to concoct small batches of the Italian dessert, blending fresh fruit, actual espresso, and other wholesome ingredients with milk. The result is a treat that is denser and lower in fat than ice cream, and unlike ice cream, doesn't cause everyone to scream.
In the years since Fantini starting making gelato, her business has expanded to multiple locations throughout the Southeast. At each shop, her baristas scoop gelato and dairy-free sorbetto into cups and cones and brew specialty café drinks to pair with pastries. At lunchtime, patrons can bite into an unconventional snack lauded by the Food Network: handheld cones of pizza crust filled with mozzarella, tomato sauce, and other savory ingredients.
The midday sun beats down on the hat-clad heads of the passengers, but they barely feel the heat. The rapt crowd has gathered on the top deck of the Holiday, their eyes collectively glued to the waters below them where a glossy fin emerged and disappeared a second ago. The onlookers' silence suddenly dissolves into a symphony of awed whispers and camera clicks as a trio of playful bottlenose dolphins breaks through the water and splashes about near the ship. Creating moments such as this between humans and nature has been Captain Mark's Dolphin Watch Cruise's mission since setting sail on its inaugural excursion in 1983.
Based out of Shelter Cove Harbour, Captain Mark's Dolphin Watch Cruise's experienced crew introduces visitors to area wildlife via two varieties of aquatic adventures. Daytime and sunset dolphin watch nature cruises glide past numerous scenic points of interest including Wexford Plantation, marine creatures, oyster beds, and oyster laundry piles. Alternatively, Let's Go Crabbing trips ferry kids and adults away aboard the Crabber J II for a lively session of crustacean catching.
With chocolate creations showcased at the governor's inaugural ball, Island Fudge Shop sends sweet tooths into overdrive with from-scratch fudge, chocolates, and candies available in classic and holiday incarnations. Patrons enjoy a pound of homemade fudge without the work of fishing in Willy Wonka's river, with flavors including pumpkin, vanilla, milk chocolate, and maple walnut. Made with heavy whipping cream and Grade AA butter, the fudge undergoes a distinct open-fire process to form into dream-fulfilled bites.
Besides being islands, of course, Hilton Head Island and Manhattan have one crucial thing in common: they're both home to authentic, New York-style bagels.?At Island Bagel & Deli,?the cooks do things the Big Apple way, whipping up 16 varieties of bagels each day from scratch, then boiling them in a kettle of purified water.?Bagel flavors include chocolate chip, sesame, and cinnamon raisin, and, to make them even more enticing, the kitchen also crafts 12 flavors of cream cheese in-house, so customers don't have to go home and churn their own. Of course, bagels are just the beginning. Here, hungry guests will also a selection of signature sandwiches served on hoagies (or bagels), including the aptly named "Our Favorite," which features hot pulled turkey and bacon topped with provolone and cream cheese.

Nice poem. Especially since it comes from your own experience and you share it with others. |
That is beautiful. |
Thank you very much for helping me give the Crabapple recognition. She has endured many trimmings over the 15 years I've lived here and she has two of my sweet deceased cats buried under her boughs. She watches over them day and night and shelters me also, when once in awhile I can find time to sit on the lichen-encrusted wooden bench waiting in her shadow. |
Make that 'sporadic'!!!!!! ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH! Can't STAND misspelling something!!!!! I KNEW something wasn't right somewhere----needed more coffee, that's what! mwheel---we had your gale winds and sideways rain starting around 9AM this morning! Hope you didn't have any damage! Tonight I got out the Cub and sweet little trailer and started picking up more downed Oak limbs again! My SIL and I took a HUGE load of brush, limbs, etc., to the brush area (they grind it up for mulch) at our local landfill a few months ago----he has an open car-trailer, which he loads with the scoop on his tractor. We throw a huge tarp over the top and strap it all down and off we go! Life can be so good! |
I know just how you feel about spelling mistakes, but, I swear, until I read your correction, I never even noticed it!! We didn't have much damage in our immediate vicinity, but points east, especially D.C. and surrounding areas, got hit hard, again. Trees on houses, cars, power lines, streets flooding--they've really had a rough summer!! |

"Behind every project large or small, there should be a desire to make a difference."
Being a responsible, global citizen is a crucial part of EDSA's culture and business. We take our responsibilities to the public seriously and believe it's more important than ever to serve the needs of people in the communities in which we do business, especially in towns we call home. An example of this is Gratigny Plateau Park, an underutilized, undeveloped park located in northwest Miami-Dade County, Florida.
When a local news channel asked businesses to join their "Making A Difference" campaign to tackle this neglected site, EDSA did not hesitate to participate. The Gray Studio is donating design services focused on turning three vacant lots into a thriving park for the neighborhood. Fueled by our employees' passion and dedication, the design includes play structures, exercise stations, a flower garden and walking trails. Together with WPLG Local 10, Miami–Dade County Parks and Recreation, other professionals, government agencies, and the residents of the area, the Gray Studio is working towards implementing the design. They are excited about how it will affect the future of this community, and hope to have it completed by the end of the summer.
"Truly sustainable design happens early in the process using a multidisciplinary collaborative approach"
It seems that sustainable design is becoming an overused and under practiced term. Most people agree that the world needs to change its behavior, but are we doing all we can? How can innovative site design reduce the environmental impact of development while improving social and cultural connectivity? The answers lies within a truly collaborative, engaging approach – inclusive of all design disciplines.
In a recent project team meeting for a community planning assignment, this very discussion ensued between EDSA, our developer client and a civil engineer. The conclusion was to address two very simple, yet impactful elements: water and paving.
Regardless of climate or geography, water use, re-use and treatment are among the most important issues in real estate development. Our goal must be to reduce daily household consumption through more efficient appliances and by altering behaviors with new incentives to reduce use of potable water for irrigation. As for the reduction of impervious (paved) zones, decreasing street width by at least one foot and sidewalks by six inches will have a huge impact across an entire development. Not only will this lessen runoff, but it also reduces carbon footprints and development costs.
Project Visioning
Places that add social, environmental and economic value to society serve as exemplary precedents and reminders of what can be achieved with good planning. Such real estate developments and outdoor spaces are created through a process that starts with a distinctive vision and stated purpose – much before pencil is ever placed to paper or brick to mortar.
EDSA believes that having a clear, well-thought-out and well-delineated vision at the onset of an assignment is critical to a project's strategic success and long term sustainability. Before anything happens, existing communities, key stakeholders, public officials, land owners, property developers and design consultants must define a vision that anticipates how a real estate endeavor will positively change the status quo. Visioning is not a roadmap – that's the purpose of planning – but rather a set of defined goals and expectations stated in a clear and simple way to describe why the project deserves to exist.
A successful visioning process results from answering some basic, but critical questions. What is the anticipated end result? Who will the end users be? How will they thrive in the places we help create? How will people, environment and economy benefit in the short-term and the long-term? What will the legacy of this project be? The point being, a planning and design process starts from a series of ideas and goals that focus on results.
Throughout our history, EDSA has orchestrated and facilitated Visioning Workshops as a master-planning and consensus-building tool. Through this process, we aim to understand the lifestyle, values, intent and purpose of a project as we collaborate to assess and establish a unified vision for development. This abbreviated, yet intense step in the design process is oriented toward providing efficient, focused solutions. When possible, it should involve a team of experts to address economic, environmental, political, market and social tendencies. It can also involve on-site design studies to identify site opportunities and constraints, infrastructure needs, circulation patterns, land use relationships and other key indicators or potential program elements from which to build the vision. This introspective process results in foundational design drivers and a phased program approach for master planning and design to proceed. It typically culminates in an on-site presentation to the client.
The Visioning Process influences the design strategy by aligning and defining the client's or stakeholder group's philosophy, thus setting the course for an informed and successful project design process and implementation.
What's Trending?
It has always been our goal, through the dissemination of this e-communication, to provide you with valuable insights, cutting-edge concepts and thought provoking perspectives to spark innovative ideas and creative strategies.
With the onset of the New Year, many of you are doing some extra imagining, planning and creating; so it seems only natural that we would have researched numerous development, design and technology trends and culmed them down to a handful that are begging to be applied in the next 12 months. Here's what caught our eye:
Geographic Expansion: Although disposable income continues to rise in Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC countries), developers should also consider markets such as Burma, Cambodia and Vietnam, as well as other high-potential countries such as Turkey, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and South Korea.
Speaking Visual: We're shifting to a visual vocabulary that relies on photos, emojis, video snippets and other imagery – largely supplanting the need for text. "Visual" is a new lingo that needs to be mastered and incorporated into how, where and why we communicate.
The End of Anonymity: Thanks to an array of new technologies and a growing drive to collect personal data, it's becoming nearly impossible to remain unobserved. As anonymity becomes more elusive, expect pushback from consumers. The challenge will be finding a balance between the very real benefits of data collection and utilization, with earning the trust of increasingly "hacked-off" consumers.
Made Greener By/For China: Perceptions of China will take a significant turn as consumers realize that China is quickly becoming the epicenter of truly innovative and superior "green consumer" initiatives. That shift will be driven by China's relentless large-scale efforts to address massive environmental challenges such as energy, transport, construction and social interface.
Mindful Living: Consumers are developing a quasi-Zen desire to experience everything in a more present, conscious way. Once the domain of the spiritual set, mindful living is filtering into the mainstream with more people drawn to the idea of shutting out distractions and focusing on the moment. This will have profound effects on how people live, work, learn and play.
Better Is Better: Typically trends aren't made to last, but there is an emergent movement toward making things better and longer lasting. Bigger used to be better, but today, better is better – meaning more effective planning and efficiency of use. With consumers being more cost-conscious than ever, this intuitive simplicity is leading the design charge.
We welcome your reactions, thoughts and questions to these trends as well as all future editorial content presented. Please feel free to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Eco-Conscious Consumer Psyche
Savvy consumers are lovers of stuff – sleek gadgets, iconic furniture pieces and chic abodes. Consumption is based on what their pocketbooks allow and dictated by trends, product availability and technological innovation. More and more, consumers are becoming eco-conscious as they opt for green alternatives – purchasing energy-star rated, efficient appliances, organic threads and locally grown foods.
From a design perspective, what is bought is often less important than how and why consumers choose to buy what they do. What, where, and how people buy makes a statement about their identity and the type of person they are, or would like to be. Contrary to popular belief, most of us don't weigh the full costs and benefits of our purchasing decisions. Instead, we are strongly influenced by emotional factors, the behavior of others and our own habits – tending to not use all of the information available. The undeniable fact is that impulse buys make up nearly 75 percent of today's consumer spending where a purchase serves far more than just a functional need.
At EDSA we challenge you to join us in creating a smarter, more sustainable world. Based on an increasing emotional desire to make eco-friendly purchasing decisions, how can we make more informed decisions to live a greener lifestyle?
Start by calculating your Ecological Footprint using http://www.earthday.org/footprint-calculator or a similar assessment tool. The result is a rough estimate of resources expended in relation to the biological capacity of the planet. These results are largely based on the products we consume, our behaviors surrounding these products and the spaces we inhabit. Let's all work to reduce our impact and educate others on protecting the planet.
Change is not about modifying needs, it's about adjusting values. Do you believe in recycling, but throw away used appliances and electronics? Buy organic produce but let food go to waste by not eating leftovers? Passionate about saving resources, but don't cut down on driving? Carry a cloth bag to the grocery store, but fill it with disposable, overly packaged products? We must all make a commitment to practice what we preach, lead by example and encourage cohorts to do the same. Here are our top suggestions to get the ball rolling:
- There is a tendency to limit product lifecycles and unnecessarily replace items we consume (i.e., refrigerators, vacuums and home furnishings). Taking time to maintain possessions is always more efficient than consuming an entirely new product.
- While we're busy surfing the web, listening to our ipods and twittering away, it's all too easy to lose track of the energy these devices consume. Pull the plug on gear not currently in use. Computer adapters, appliances and even cell phone chargers constantly suck up energy so long as they remain plugged in.
- Don't complacently rely on technology. Energy efficient appliances will not scold you for running the dishwasher when it's half full. Your LEED certified home will not prevent you from keeping your thermostat at 80 degrees in the winter and 55 in the summer. You have to do these things yourself.
- Cut down on commute times by choosing to move closer to employment or offer telecommuting to employees. Seek out teleconferences rather than attending in person. Downsize your vehicle and use mass transit whenever possible. And, don't forget to bike, walk and use human power to propel you where you need to go, whenever possible.
- Since the 1970s' the average American home has grown by more than 500 square feet, while the average family size has decreased. This incongruity should signal that our want for space has surpassed our needs. Consider how well you can live by living small. Design spaces to be multifunctional, de-clutter and tear down walls to let in natural light.
The need to conserve natural resources is not a temporary situation and therefore demands lasting changes in how we live, work and play. It's time to make a difference regarding our personal dependence on energy and natural resources. We encourage you to share these environmental values by emphasizing the importance of action to those around you.

Heather Munsell doesn't get to be one of the mothers who sits in the crowd to enjoy her children's college graduations.
Her two children, Joshua and Kelsey Munsell, both graduate with double majors this week from Montana State University Billings, but she'll be right up there on the stage with them, receiving her master's degree.
"How many moms get to have both of their kids walk at the same time, let alone get to walk with them?" she said.
Heather Munsell will receive her master's degree, Joshua Munsell will receive bachelor's degrees in outdoor adventure leadership and organizational communication, and Kelsey Munsell will graduate with a double major in mass communication and organizational communication.
While each will finish at MSUB's Saturday commencement at Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark with hard-earned degrees in hand, each of the Munsells took a different path getting there.
For Heather Munsell, it was an effort 20 years in the making. She attended Montana State University in Bozeman until moving to Billings in the early 1990s with her husband, Jeff, 13 credits shy of earning a bachelor's in fine arts.
She worked as a freelance graphic designer over the years but wanted to be able to "check that box on list" and earn a college degree before her children. So, about the same time her daughter enrolled at MSUB, she signed up, finished her bachelor's and spent the next three years earning her master's in public relations.
"Before they got their pieces of paper, I needed to get my piece of paper," she said.
Joshua Munsell took the most traditional path, graduating from Billings West High in 2010 and earning his degrees in four years. However, he switched majors after a sophomore year during which he realized his initial choice, pursuing a career in physical therapy, wasn't for him.
"If you get in and realize it's not what you want to do, don't be afraid to move on from it," he said. "There's still time."
As a junior at West High, Kelsey Munsell realized during her brother's freshman year at MSUB that she was ready for college.
So, with her family's blessing and through working with the university, she dropped out of high school halfway through her junior year, enrolled as a home school student and started taking classes at MSUB.
"They were really great in working with me," she said.
Education has always been a priority for the family. Heather and Kelsey Munsell until 2012 ran their own business, a yoga studio called Mind Over Matter, while they attended class.
When Jeff Munsell had the opportunity to take a work promotion that required the family to move to Seattle in May 2013, they packed up and headed west but finished their degrees through MSUB's online programs.
"The online program has been amazing for us," Heather Munsell said. "None of this would have worked out without that."
Even with the upheaval of moving, the family has excelled, with Joshua Munsell finishing with a 3.5 GPA after taking about a quarter of his classes online, Kelsey Munsell finishing with a 3.9 and while taking all but about six classes online and Heather Munsell graduating with a 4.0 in her master's program, all of which was taken online.
Susan Balter Reitz, a professor of communication and the interim director of MSUB's online learning program, has worked with the Munsells in various ways since 2011.
"I never had the opportunity to have all three of them at the same time but they're wonderful students and really good-natured people," she said. "Their success is a combination of their own motivation, the availability and accessibility of the programs they wanted and their own flexibility."
All three Munsells did end up in a few classes together though, especially since all three pursued degrees that require plenty of communications classes.
That allowed them to share ideas and help each other out, but also forced them to explore new ideas and topics.
"We've all had classes together," Kelsey Munsell said. "We have similar interests but we come at them in different ways. Going through all of this as a family, we had a built in support system."
With their time at MSUB wrapping up, the Munsells are now chasing new opportunities in Seattle. Heather Munsell is applying for teaching positions at local colleges while both children have been accepted to master's programs at the University of Washington.
Kelsey Munsell will study human-centered design and engineering, which she described as "research and design on how people use technology and software" to make it easier to use and hopes to work for a tech company in Seattle.
With the leadership, team-building and communication skills learned at MSUB, Joshua Munsell plans to earn his master's at UW in education or teaching and pursue a career in teaching, thanks to a summer internship he finished last year.
"I found out during my internship last summer that I love working with kids," he said. "I'd never really done that before."
Heather Munsell said it's those kinds of realizations that will keep the family learning and exploring long after they've earned their degrees.
"If you ever stop wanting to learn, what's the point?" she said

Review by:
Jon Rutherford
on July 06, 2012 :
A wonderfully well written account, in the form of a reminiscence, of a few days of pivotal importance to the life of the young narrator, Tucker, abused, virtually abandoned, and now on the road. No easy answers here. The characters are vivid and involving, the story gripping, the element of fantasy beautifully handled. A story like this invites sentimentality; Ms. Mason-Black avoids it scrupulously.
If this book had been 300 pages long instead of just over twenty, I think I'd still have read it in one sitting.

I would love to help test a recipe, but I always seem to log on too late! Is there a standard day of week/time of day that the community pick candidates are usually announced?
The CP candidates are posted the same day the finalists are announced, usually just a few hours after the finalists are announced they will announce the CP's to be tested.If you are on Twitter they tweet when they are up.
For the tweet-free, it's hit or miss! I believe the Thursday after the end of the contest is the day, usually quite early in the afternoon. Questions like this can go to [email protected].

EcoFest is a sustainability festival geared toward students - and faculty and staff as well. It will be a day-long event on Friday November 7, in the Campus Center. We'll have approx. 12 to 20 energy/sustainability information booths, staffed with professionals and Ithaca College staff to interact with attendees about sustainability as it relates to living, working, and learning on the Ithaca College campus, in your home, in your office, and in the community. The annual Sodexo local/sustainable food festival, will become a part of our event this year. We'll be following-up our November 7 event with a "town hall" type forum geared towards students. These are some of the details:
- Approx. 12-20 Energy and Sustainability information booths (e.g. NYSERDSA, Cooperative Extension, Ithaca College Office of Energy Management and Sustainability, Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit, Solar Tompkins, IC Office of Facilities, ITS)
- Demonstrations (e.g. compost and recycling education; dorm, home and office energy-saving tips; and a mock office setup to showcase smart energy use, furniture reuse, green cleaning , computer ergonomics and energy savings, Greenstar Coop's "smoothie bicycle"…)
- Tour of Athletic and Events Center that afternoon/evening
- Thursday November 13: We're doing a follow-up to EcoFest 2014 with a town hall discussion on energy and sustainability in the evening. We'd like this discussion to be student-led and moderated.
We'll have a "passport" card that we stamp at each information booth, demonstration, the tour and follow-up discussion, so students can record the way in which they participate.

Yes it is about to get rad.
I think the drunken octopus guy will be luffy nakama
Are you talking aboot hacchi.
no no, not hacchi, its Hyouzou. The one who can repel luffy jet punch.
But if he a sword master forget about it, but if he a poison expert that's will be
hmm he just seemed like the guy zoro will have to beat up maybe
... I want Hacchi to jouin the crew. Also a Fishman with a DF? Very interesting... Though, I really find Dekken to be boring.
ya dekken is boring but what about hodi jones
Alright do you guys think luffy and that dude are about to have their first fight?
it would seem so. what type of fishman is that guy again? catfish?
I think hachi wouldn't be luffy's nakama, cuz Luffy always show interest for someone who became his nakama.That's why I think Hyouzou would, cuz Luffy show some interest about him.

I have a Craftsman 190cc Briggs & Stratton 22" front drive self-propelled mower. When I start the mower it runs for about 1-2 minutes and then dies as I'm mowing the grass. My grass isn't very long or wet so I don't think it's grass getting caught inside of it. I changed the spark plug and air filter today and put new oil in it. The gas was put in about a week ago. I cleaned the carburetor and the bowl about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I can't really remember. Does anyone have an idea to what could be causing this problem? |

Possibly the vent in the gas cap is clogged. |

The Enchanted Cave 2
Delve into a strange cave with a seemingly endless supply of treasure, strategically choos
4.30 / 5.00 25,373 ViewsGhostbusters B.I.P.
COMPLETE edition of the interactive "choose next panel" comic
3.97 / 5.00 5,785 ViewsEDIT: :) I was just about to go to bed when I noticed my game chillin there on the front page. That makes me really happy. I apologize for the glitches, I promise I'll fix them tomorrow. Peace B)
You can either type A Brother of St. Francis, or write your own. They goal of the game is to type the essay for as long as possible without the text filling the screen. In the event of text overload, you freaking die. Good luck sonny.
As soon as I started I knew I was going to fail, so I just chilled and listened to the awesome music!
wow i thought i was a fast writer but this proved me otherwise, very challenging game
This is weird........................
Why did my backspace button is not working?
Typing? Fun? Yes, suprisingly!
I enjoy how the game is an original work! Great use of a novel too! I would like to see an option in a future installment that allows you to be able to choose excerpts from a variety of great writers such as Hawthorne, Poe, Hemmingway, Tolkien, Vonnegut, Myers, etc. I did notice that if you type too fast then the game fails to recognize the letters you typed so quickly, making it impossible for you to actually match the speed of the white lines and thus making it impossible for you to keep up. Also, that is a rather strenuous speed, even for a secretary I would say. Other than these few flaws, the game could be beneficial in helping people improve their typing speed, just fix them first. Good concept though, and keep continuing to improve functionality.
Good but...
its a pretty good game but maybe fix the typing bug, if you type quite fast it doesn't actually type in the correct letter when you had already pressed it, know what i mean, the highlighting of the writing does go a little fast, i mean i'm suppose to be a pretty quick typer but i guess you just don't get enough time to type...but apart from that nice work :-)

More reviews by eileenbrennan1
Definitely worth the money! I have had it on for 4 plus hours tonight. Kissed my kids, several times. Didn't come off. Drank a soda, didn't come off. Looks great! yes, it's a little tacky at first. Come on! It has to stick to your lips so that it "sticks" to your lips!
Well worth the money. An over-the-counter lip gloss that cannot be beat!
More reviews by Liquidbubble03
I had checked out the reviews and cuz i'm a lipgloss Junkie i bought two at full price. Ouch ouch i know! but upon reading the reviews i find i agree. It does have a "carmex"-y smell, and can be sticky, but i have had worst. Re iterating a tip from a previous reviewer... put it on, don't rub let it set and the tackiness dies greatly. Would i buy it again for sure hopfully next time it would be in BOGO
I bought this in Suede and Truffle, love them both. Suede is a nice nude gloss and Truffle is sort of a neutral rosy brown, but both are very sheer. I think they stay on for 3 hours, rather than 6, but that's longer than most glosses so that doesn't bother me.
I find them to be a bit drying so I use balm before applying, which probably has something to do with their staying power. The applicator took some getting used to, but it works well.
All in all, a good gloss. I'd repurchase but only if theres a BOGO going on, as I think an average regular price of $8 is a stretch for this product.
I bought #705 - Sangria. I've been using it for about a week now. It does not seem to have much depth of color in the product, hence, it does not show up well on my lips. To fix this problem I am using a colored lipliner on my lips before applying the gloss. When I do this it seems to give much more color to my lips. The gloss is a little sticky on my lips, but not much of a problem. All in all, a good product. I will repurchase.
I found this lipgloss to be very similar in stickiness to MAC's lipglass; however, I do feel that the hard-to-get-over feeling of tackiness is much less with this gloss than I found it to be with Lipglass. The gloss stays put for an average of 120 minutes and I did not find it to pill or bead. Also, after the gloss sets in to the lips, I didnt find it sticking to my hair, or anything else that would be more bothersome then pleasant!The matte-ness of the gloss (what is left AFTER the gloss leaves) stays put for another couple of hours. No complaints here. The colors are pretty, just not as true as the color in the tube (however, it IS a GLOSS...not a LIPSTICK!). I will definately repurchase!
At a later date, I removed 1 lip:
MAJOR NEGATIVE - once the gloss wears off, the tackiness of what remains is next to IMPOSSIBLE to remove. It doesnt wipe off and sticks (like glue) to anything it comes in contact with. This is OK for work...when you dont want to worry about reapplying lip products...but not so nice to put on thinking there will be no need to reapply for a night out on the town.
I love this product. I am not a lip person, I often forget my lips when doing my makeup and I definitely forget to touch up. That's where this is great. I enjoy the way it looks so much that I almost never forget it, and then it lasts so long that I don't even have to think about it. The only thing is that I wish it were a little bit more pigmented, but hey, it's a gloss, it does it's job!

--Application: It has a wand applicator with a tear-drop shaped sponge at the end. The sponge has a small hole in it to allow more product to apply. Once you put it on, it feels like most lip gloss (where you can rub your lips together well. After a few min, when you try to rub your lips together the gloss feels like it has become more firm b/c your lips don't glide as well when you rub them together. It puts on a shiny gloss with shimmer. About 3 hours later the shiny-ness of the actual (liquid) gloss has left and the shimmer/glitter particles remain on your lips, and it sort of look like you have gloss on but up close it looks like shimmer/glitter.
--Lasting power: I am a huge LGL (Lip Gloss Licker...lol) I can not keep lip gloss on for no time, especially if it smells and tastes good. I just feel something on my lips and I lick (sometimes even without knowing). For some reason I can keep this on longer. But it definitely does not last 6 hours. I would say w/o eating or drinking it lasts 3 hours. So I'd apply ever 2.5 - 3 hours. But that's still a longer wear then any regular lip gloss. It also doesn't "bead" up. It may when you eat (but I'm not sure), but just by licking your lips it doesn't bead up.
--Smell: I am not sure why everyone talks about the smell (I guess some people's noses are more sensitive the others), it doesn't smell as bad to me as it seems like some of the previous reviews. It has a slight menthol smell but more sweet. Not too strong/overpowering and it the smell doesn't last.
--It is definitely worth a try. But they need to come down on the price, I believe it was $7.99. Maybe try CVS/Walgreens when they have BOGO sales. They also have a beautiful range of colors. But I noticed that most of them have shimmer/glitter particles in them.

Yes, I would buy this again and already have. I prefer this gloss to Revlon's because it doesn't seem as sticky to me, although I see that other's don't agree. However, lip gloss is sticky...I haven't found many that aren't. I would have given this 5 lippies but there is NO way that this stuff lasts 6 hours. None...even if you don't drink or eat, this stuff will wear away within 2 hours. I have the color "Fiery" and two others that the names escape me now. They are all very pretty. A gloss is not like a lipstick...you don't expect major color. I prefer glosses in the spring/summer because it's a more natural, less heavy look. The applicator is very unique. There is a small hole in it that I guess catches the gloss so you don't have to keep dipping it into the tube. It's a doe foot, very soft/flexible applicator and this makes it very easy to apply evenly and easily hit the cupids bow on the top upper lip. The scent reminds me of vanilla, but it's not strong at all and is totally gone within a minute of applying. I do think there is a little bit of gold glitter in every one of these, but it's not very apparent at all and adds to the shine and prettiness. I definately would give this a shot, especially when there are coupons in the paper and/or Walgreens or CVS have a sale (which is very, very often). I'll buy again.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like this a lot! I'm a big fan of lipgloss, but most of them have absolutely no staying power, so this is just what I was looking for. I don't even mind the stickiness. The reason I took off one lippie is because the color you get on your lips is much lighter than the one you see in the tube - I bought Blush, which looks like a medium pink but is actually a pale pink.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really am hooked on this lipgloss. It doesn't look the same after 6 hours of course, but it actually still looks good. I don't need to reapply it for at least a good 4 hours, and the stickiness wears off a lot, and the colors are beautiful. (I have Modern Mauve and Truffle.) All my other glosses and lipsticks are being neglected because this is so easy and so pretty and soft looking. I'll probably never go back to long-wearing lipstick or gloss.

Seats at NBA Finals Go for $400 to $80,000
If you want to watch Thursday's NBA Finals game, you can turn on the TV or plunk down tens of thousands of dollars for a seat to watch it in person at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The storied Lakers-Celtics rivalry and Father's Day are among factors driving up ticket prices.

STEVE INSKEEP, host:
And let's talk about people now trying to get the benefit of the NBA Finals. Game Four is tonight. Most fans will settle for watching it on TV, but others are plunking down thousands of dollars to watch the game in person. These finals are between two of the NBA's most storied franchises - the Celtics and the Lakers - and ticket prices are higher than they've ever been before.
NPR's Ben Bergman reports.
BEN BERGMAN: Sitting at his desk in Brentwood, California, Brad Schy stares at a bank of five computer monitors showing charts, graphs and emails from all over the world. He could easily be mistaken for a Wall Street day trader.
Mr. BRAD SCHY (President, Musical Chairs): I am a trader. I mean, I'm just trading in tickets. I mean, it's a really pure supply-and-demand market. I mean, your economic 101 definitely comes into play.
BERGMAN: Schy is president of a ticket brokerage business called Musical Chairs. This week, it's a very fitting name. He's inundated with calls from people wanting tickets for the long sold-out NBA Finals. What they're willing to pay changes by the hour.
Mr. SCHY: It's a very volatile market, and, you know, if the inventory move builds up and it's not moving, people start dropping the prices. If it goes - if it's moving like...
(Soundbite of fingers snapping)
Mr. SCHY: ...real fast, then people up the prices.
BERGMAN: After the Lakers lost the first two games of the series, some fickle Lakers fans lost interest. Schy lowered the prices 15 percent.
Mr. SCHY: People love a winner, so the more likely you are to win, the more people want to go.
BERGMAN: The Lakers eked out a win Tuesday, prices went back up. Schy was able to unload four floor seats for tonight's game. The cost: $15,000 apiece. If the Lakers win tonight, he expects prices for Sunday's game to go even higher - not just because it would be a pivotal game, but also it's Father's Day.
Mr. SCHY: It is absolutely a perfect storm for prices to be high.
BERGMAN: At the Web site StubHub - sort of an eBay for selling your own tickets - seats can be had for close to $400. Make sure to bring your own binoculars, though. To sit closer to the most famous Lakers fan, Jack Nicholson, some prices have gone higher than $80,000. For that, you'll get prime seating at mid-court, right next to the Lakers bench - $30 dollar parking and fifteen dollar beer not included.
If you think that seems a little steep for three hours of basketball, well, you're not alone. StubHub spokesman Sean Pate says the most expensive offerings have almost no chance of being sold.
Mr. SEAN PATE (Spokesman, StubHub): People that have very, very choice courtside seats, they want to go to the series, but they're going to ask, you know, almost ridiculous sums of money in the event that somebody would be willing to pay for that.
BERGMAN: Maybe the only good thing about 80 grand seats is they make $9,000 ones look like a bargain. That's about the highest price buyers have been willing to shell out on StubHub.
Over on Craigslist, cash isn't the only thing fans are offering. Elsa Flores El Miraz(ph) posted a listing earlier this week.
Ms. ELSA FLORES EL MIRAZ: Need a magical rejuvenating vacation? Yes. Lakers playoffs tickets wanted in exchange for a lovely three-bedroom vacation rental on the incredible north shore of Kauai. This home is across the street from the best beaches in the world. Go Lakers.
BERGMAN: El Miraz says she'll negotiate any terms - so far, no takers.

By Katharine Ernst in Music on Aug 22, 2013
Neko Case, BUST's upcoming October/November cover girl and crooning songstress extraordinaire, has a new album, The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You, out on Anti- September 3rd, and it's some of her most revealing stuff yet. Her unique, full voice ain't hiding anything on this record.
Since her move to Vermont, Case seems to be showing a deeper side of herself to her audience. Once relatively private, her music has taken a turn for the raw and telling, and the musician is posting tons of updates on her dogs, her farm, and finding love in the mundane parts of life, on Twitter and other social media. But recently, she's devoting a lot of her presence to her furry little friends.
Case is a huge supporter of animal rights and so, accordingly, just released this PSA for Best Friends Animal Society, which aims to prevent the killing of dogs and cats in animal shelters. For every share of this PSA, Neko and her record label, Anti-, will donate $5 to Best Friends. She has also committed to playing this PSA before her upcoming shows in support of the cause. But in the meantime, you can get a take a listen to The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You at NPR's First Listen.
My fellow BUSTies, let's help out our little furry friends and share this video as much as you can! And don't forget to check out Neko Case on the cover of BUST's October/November issue, on newsstands September 24th! (Subscribers get it a li'l earlier, so hit subscribe if you haven't already!)

Book Smart - Creating Your Own Photo Book
The process of landing a book deal is a combination of hard work, critical evaluation and no small amount of luck
How do you get the proposal in front of the people who can help make the book a reality? Check the Websites of the various publishers to whom you want to submit your proposal. Most detail how to submit the work. There are also many opportunities to meet photo book editors for reviews of your work at places such as FotoFest's the Meeting Place in Houston (www.fotofest.org) and Review Santa Fe (www.sfcp.org), a two-day conference "for photographers who have created a significant project or series and are seeking wider recognition."
If you truly believe in your project, don't give up after one or even several turndowns. Pay attention to the reasons given by a publisher who passes on your project. Don't become defensive—it closes you off from learning. Several major publishers turned me down before my first book found a home at Abbeville Press. The book ended up winning both the New York Book Show "Photography Book of the Year" and "Best of Show" awards. Because the book was a compilation of my interviews with many of the great names in 20th-century photography, several potential publishers felt that acquiring the rights to reproduce those photos would be prohibitive. Abbeville Press was willing to see what we could get for a preset limit for rights. We were able to bring in legendary photographers, including Alfred Eisenstaedt, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Gordon Parks, Helmut Newton, Annie Leibowitz, Peter Lindbergh, Mary Ellen Mark and Herb Ritts, at a much lower than normal rate because they and their agents and gallery people recognized that each would be in good company and that the book would serve as a tool to promote and highlight their great work.
At a time in history when we can navigate our way through hundreds of television channels with a remote, creating good books is more important than ever. As Groucho Marx said, "I find television to be very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go in the other room and read a book."

TechSoup hosts free weekly webinars on a variety of topics, from cloud computing to fundraising to social media and tech strategy.
Need help downloading or using your donations? You'll find essential resources on these topics and more in our support pages.
Is the wireless signal at your organization slow, inconsistent, or nonexistent in certain parts of the building? If you struggle with an unreliable wireless signal, the solution may be as simple as moving your access point or changing the channel. Below, we'll show you techniques even non-techies can use to extend the range and coverage of your network.
Wireless devices such as laptop computers use radio frequency (RF) waves to communicate with one another. Just like the radio waves that you hear on your car radio, the RF waves from a wireless access point (AP) — the device that links up your wired and wireless networks — get weaker and weaker the further away you get from the source. Moreover, metal, concrete, wood, and other electronic devices can all interfere with a wireless signal, distorting it and limiting its range.
Before you can fix a temperamental signal, you need to make sure that the signal really is the problem. Site surveys can help you determine exactly where you have coverage and where you don't. You can get a very rough measure of the strength of your signal by carrying a laptop around your organization and seeing how many "bars" you get. On your computer or smartphone, you'll see an icon that indicates the signal strength. More bars or levels indicate a stronger signal. To get a more precise measurement, you'll have to download special software or buy a device specifically designed to measure the wireless signal. There are also free applications like HeatMapper for Windows or Netspot for Macs that you can use. For more information, look up "site survey" using your search engine.
Using a site survey tool, look for the following:
All the various wireless problems out there can be summed up in two main causes: your wireless equipment isn't as powerful or reliable as you'd like it to be, or something in your environment is interfering with your wireless signal.
Before you make the switch to 802.11n, there are still some potential problems to be aware of when considering the upgrade. All of your equipment has to comply with the 802.11n standard in order to take full advantage of the gains in speed and range. Older b/g adapters can connect with an 802.11n router if the access point is backwards compatible.

Another hearing on proposed Ramsey County sales tax hike for stadium
The Ramsey County Charter Commission holds another hearing tonight on whether to let residents vote on a proposed sales tax increase that would help pay for a new Minnesota Vikings stadium in Arden Hills.
The commission may vote on the proposal after the hearing; at last count, it wasn't clear whether the pro-vote faction had enough votes to pass the issue.
The hearing is at 6:30 p.m. in the Ramsey County Courthouse in downtown St. Paul.
Leaders on the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners have negotiated a tentative deal with the Vikings to pay $350 million towards the stadium, backed by the proceeds of a half-cent sales tax increase incurred only in Ramsey County. The state would contribute $300 million, and the team would pay at least $400 million of the billion-dollar-plus stadium pricetag. The Legislature hasn't yet approved the state portion of the deal.
Gov. Mark Dayton and legislative leaders are waiting for a Metropolitan Council report on the feasibility of the Arden Hills site before moving forward with plans for a special session.
Tonight's Charter Commission hearing is the second; on Sept. 28 the hearing was dominated by those opposed to public subsidies for the team. Those supporting the stadium plan fear that if the matter is put to a vote, it will kill the proposal, both because it's considered tough to pass a tax-increase measure in these financial times, and because putting the question on the November 2012 ballot would cause more delays for the proposed stadium.
And its unclear what would happen if the Legislature approves the stadium measure and allows the county to bypass the vote.
Comments (3)
Just a reminder that the sales tax would be paid by ANYONE who makes purchases in Ramsey County, not just by Ramsey County residents.
TRUTH IN BOND ISSUES...Ramsey Co. Share will cost
$674,907,878 in New Sales Taxes
The Media, new and old, continue to discount the actual cost of the proposed Ramsey County "contribution" to Zygi's Stadium.
The Ramsey County Board of County Commissioners paid their financial consultant, Springstead, to produce a 30 year Sales Tax Revenue Bond Schedule showing the cost to retire the $375,550,000 bond issue for the proposed new Viking's Stadium.
Springstead's report declared the cost to be:
$674,907,878...NOT $350 million which your report continues to cite in error.
Editors: please step up, this Sales Tax Revenue Schedule was produced on May 27, 2011.
NFL team owners are extortionists who could pay for new stadiums themselves but threaten to move their teams unless communities hand over hundreds of millions of dollars to make the billionaires even richer. The system of extortion exists because politicians don't have the guts to stand up and say no. The way to deal with an extortionist is to say, NO! Just say, NO! Once team owners learn they can no longer extort money from communities, they'll stop demanding it. Will the Wilf brothers move their team? Maybe. Let them. Then the Vikings will be someone else's problem. The worst that can happen to our community is a few immature adults will have to grow up and learn how to get along without the Vikings. Tch tch. Life is difficult.
