I wanted to try this because I had heard good reviews about it on Youtube..Wasnt as great as I expected it to be. Not only did it taste bad, but it made my lips extremely dry! Maybe I had an allergic reaction to it because my lips are still very itchy :T On the bright side, it smells really good and I like the tint color! :)
I bought this at Walgreens in the raspberry flavor. I thought this would be something good to carry in my bag to moisturize my lips and add a little bit of color. The first one I bought was rancid and I had to take it back and exchange it. I really like the formulation of this, the color payoff, and the scent (at first), notice I said at first. Within two weeks of having the product, it now has a really weird plasticy smell that it didn't have before. The one thing I can't stand is the taste. YUCK!! It has a very horrible, bitter taste. This is the worst and most disgusting lip balm I have ever tasted. The taste reminds me of prescribed non gel cap pills that have that bitter taste if you don't swallow them fast enough. If they could improve on the taste and it maintaining the nice smell longer I would repurchase. As it stands right now, no way. Not worth it just because I like the feel and color.
I had this gloss a few years ago in the strawberry and loved it, so I was annoyed to have to hunt for it all over heck and creation when I ran out. I ended up getting the raspberry and holy yuck! It tasted like bitter raspberry plastic, and was much waxier (new formula I guess to go with the new packaging..?) Anyway, huge disappointment and I didn`t have the receipt so I threw it out. Am using Baby Lips right now and it`s only so-so imo.
I was at my local CVS wandering around the cosmetics section to see what was new. I noticed that they rearranged a bit. On the end caps of an isle I saw the whole Wet 'n' Wild display and I immediately thought to my self : OMG I HAVE TO GET SOMETHING!! They only sell Wet 'n' Wild at my local walgreens so I was super excited because the CVS is down the street and walgreens is like 10 minutes away. I picked up a few things and one of them was the juicy lip balm SPF 15 ( strawberry). I was drawn to the packaging because it reminded me of the Maybelline baby lips. I bought it and went home. I tried it on. I liked nothing about it.
It had a HORRID smell and taste. It also was very drying and did not moisturize my lips. There's more. The lip balm part of it broke as I was applying it. At the base of the tube it fell apart. I cleaned everything up and put it back in my collection and will be returning it. The only good thing about it was it was $2.99 and CVS had a 50% sale so it was half off. I will not be repurchasing this thing.

I LOVE THIS GLOSS! It's perfect for any age, even 11 year olds like me, because it's not too bright. It has a light shine and feels great on my lips. It smells AH-MAZING! I got strawberry. It's light pinkish.Great color. The packaging is OK, but the actual gloss stick doesn't go below the tube, so sometimes the product gets sliced off. But I don't have to worry about that, because after 2 full years of daily use, my Juicy Lipgloss is almost empty! :*(
THIS LIP GLOSS I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It smells great, the color is perfect for girls/women at any age, and it's SO SMOOTH. Why did I only give it a 4 'lipstick' rating? BECAUSE IT TASTES LIKE POISON! I don't even lick my lips! When you breathe in with your mouth the slightest bit open, a poison-y taste seeps in. No matter how hard you try, it will find it's way to your taste buds. And your taste buds will hate you for it.

These stand out a lot in the makeup display at the store which is the only reason I got one. They're big and bright colors - plus only a few $ so not a huge loss. I couldn't pick between Strawberry and Raspberry, but since I was wearing a raspberry colored top I went with that one.
The tube is big and there is a lot of product. I really like that it's pigmented but not too much like lipstick. It makes my lips look soft and shiny. The flavor, on the other hand, is downright disgusting. It tastes like chemicals and it lingers in your mouth for hours. Nasty. This product also dries out my lips a little bit because it's waxy and feels that way on the lips. Doesn't smell like raspberry either so I was really disappointed. Will not repurchase.

I love this lip balm! I live in a dry climate and constantly have to have lip balms and chapsticks with me everywhere I go. I got the watermelon scent and the only thing I wish they would change is to make the scent a little stronger, it's a little weak. I will be buying this again as it moisturizes my lips so well!
Got this for 40% so it came out to like 1.50. Pretty good too! Leaves a smooth finish and actually tints my lips. I bought mine in cherry. Super cute.
So disappointed in this product. Loved the scent (Strawberry) and was pretty glossy and smooth. SPF15 bonus - HOWEVER, it left an awful, disgusting taste in my mouth. So cheap, only $2.99, which is great. Just cannot get past the taste so I will not purchase again =(

I like this lipbalm. It does what it claims to do. I have the one in strawberry, and it leaves my lips looking slick and moisturized. It doesn't feel uncomfortable on lips or like it just settles on top. Plus, the SPF 15 is an added bonus! Although, I don't like how the actual lipbalm doesn't swivel all the way down because of the possibility of nicking the product. I like how pretty the packaging is though (: Overall a great buy, you're getting 7.5 oz of product for less than 4 dollars. Will repurchase!

Makes 8 servings
active time
1 hour
total time
3 hours 40 minutes (includes baking and cooling time)
The payoff: You have to roll out only one pie crust instead of two, and the streusel adds texture and flavor.
- 3 pounds Pippin apples or Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into scant 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- Generous pinch of salt
- 1 Pie Crust dough disk
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 7 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
For crust:
Position rack in center of oven;
preheat to 400°F. Place rimmed baking
sheet in bottom of oven to catch spills. Place
sheet of parchment paper on work surface;
lightly flour parchment. Place dough disk on
parchment; sprinkle very lightly with flour.
Cover with another sheet of parchment; roll
to 9-inch round. Remove top parchment;
sprinkle oats evenly over crust. Cover
again with top parchment; roll to 12-inch
round, rolling oats into crust. Remove top
parchment. Using bottom parchment as
aid, invert crust, oat side down, into 9-inchdiameter
glass pie dish. Remove parchment.
Press crust gently into pie dish. Turn dough
overhang under, forming high-standing rim
1/2 inch above sides of dish. Crimp edges.
For filling:
Toss all ingredients in large

For topping:
Blend first 6 ingredients in
processor. Add butter; using on/off turns,

turns, mix briefly, leaving half of oats whole.
Stir filling; transfer to crust, mounding in
center. Sprinkle topping evenly over.
Bake pie until topping is golden, about 40 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.

Cool pie on rack until slightly warm, at least 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

It was one of the first video games to use CD-ROM, which was utilized to provide enhancements such as improved graphics, a longer quest, a CD-quality Redbook audio soundtrack, cinematic anime cutscenes, and extensive voice acting throughout the game. The game's English localization was also one of the first to use voice dubbing. When it released in 1989, the game was regarded as a technical marvel, showcasing the possibilities of the CD-ROM format.StoryYs Book IYs Book IIGameplayThe gameplay was very simple. There was no "attack' button. The player would simply run into the enemies to slash them with his sword. The armor you wore, the level of your character, and the angle at which you attacked determined the success of your attack or not. Also, some enemies had a higher defense verses certain attacks and could only be defeated with certain items or magic.Differences From Prior ReleasesThe music in the TG16-CD release of the game is by far the biggest difference from prior releases. The rich sound of CD quality music was far and away better than anything the franchise had seen before. Of course, the graphics were updated a little and there was voice acting as well.Legacy

behind plans to pop the question to
his girlfriend during a SuperBowl commercial last Sunday? Now you know –

Exclusive! Des Hartsock Defends Juan Pablo As 'A Good Person'
YourTango: Were you rooting for her to be named the next Bachelorette?
Desiree Hartsock: I was rooting for either Renee or Andi, so I'm so happy that Renee found her love already and Andi is well on her way.
YourTango: Update us on your wedding plans! When's the big day? Where?
Desiree Hartsock: We don't have an exact date set just yet, but just had our engagement party and are taking our time to plan. It will be in California, since that is where I call home.
YourTango: Are any Bachelor/Bachelorette alum on the guest list?
Desiree Hartsock: Of course! Living in Seattle, we have become close to Molly and Jason Mesnik, so they are definitely invited, and I love hanging out with Ali! Honestly, pretty much all of the couples from the franchise like Trista and Ryan, JP and Ashley, DeAnna and Stephen, and Sean and Catherine will be invited. I also still keep in touch with Daniella (McBride) and Jackie (Parr) from Sean's season. They are my girls!
YourTango: Any plans to televise your wedding?
Desiree Hartsock: We are definitely open to it, especially since everyone followed along on our journey. I think it would be great to share our nuptials and love with Bachelor Nation.
YourTango: Did you watch Sean and Catherine's wedding?
Desiree Hartsock: We were actually at the wedding.
YourTango: Do you keep in touch with Sean?
Desiree Hartsock: We see Sean and Catherine every once in awhile, but don't keep in touch, really.
YourTango: Do you keep in touch with Brooks, or any of the other guys from your season?
Desiree Hartsock: Chris made friends with the guys in the house, so he keeps in touch with quite a few of them. I only keep in touch through Chris.
YourTango: Tell us about your new life with Chris. What's one very unique thing that you love about him?
Desiree Hartsock: He has such an adorable laugh that I love.
YourTango: What's the quirkiest thing about your relationship?
Desiree Hartsock: We share a car, so I take him to work and pick him up, as if from school everyday.
YourTango: Do you have any major house rules?
Desiree Hartsock: Chris and I are pretty balanced. We don't have rules, but tend to split up house chores. Like if I cook, then he cleans the dishes and vice versa.
YourTango: Do you have a pet name for Chris? Does he have one for you?
Desiree Hartsock: We don't really have pet names, but he started calling me 'babers' and now we both use it from time to time.
YourTango: Where do you see yourself in the next year? Next five?
Desiree Hartsock: In the next year, I see us married, still in Seattle, and me designing dresses and jewelry, doing what I love. In the next five, I definitely see children on the horizon and my business growing each year with many trips to explore the world.

WJAC 6 News - Search Results
High electric bill complaints continue to grow
By: WJAC Web Staff and The Associated Press
HARRISBURG -- The number of complaints about unexpected and steep increases in electricity bills for customers across Pennsylvania continues to grow.
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission said it received 2,580 complaints from Jan. 1 through Friday. That's up from 750 less than two weeks ago. Spokeswoman Jennifer Kocher said the agency had received 235 complaints over the same period last year.
The utility commission and the state attorney general's office said they're looking into the complaints. They said it predominately affects people who signed variable-rate contracts with competitive electricity suppliers that then passed on wholesale prices driven up by cold weather.
The PUC doesn't regulate the suppliers' rates, but it does regulate their conduct and marketing practices. The attorney general's office is trying to determine if anyone's been overcharged.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Perfect save the date magnets.
A Pig Flies Save the Date Magnets Great and fast service. We completed and order and realized there was a mistake. I sent an email to customer service and I received a return call and refund immediately. Reordered correct magnets and they arrived quickly and perfectly. All our invitees loved them. Magnet Street also sent samples for invitations. And I also went online and requested invitation design samples and they were beautiful. Great prices, fabulous products and excellent service. So glad I found Magnet Street. Will be ordering all my stationery from them moving forward. Thank you!
Love this save the date
A Pig Flies Save the Date Magnets I was so impressed with the quality of the save the dates. They arrived in a very nice box with a booklet of invitation samples. I am now planning on ordering my wedding invitations through Magnet Stret also!
Save the Date Magnets
Soft and Sweet Save the Date Magnets I was so happy with the way my save the date magnets turned out. I opted for the Just One to see how it looked before ordering all of them at once and it was delivered within days of ordering. I was able to personalize my own colors and text. I noticed that the text became too large for the area easily, and I may have had the text in the lower right corner larger if I could have, but I really think it turned out fantastic anyway. The presentation of the items upon delivery was notable. They arrived in a high quality box that I have since used to keep track of stamps and other paper products. I also received 10 extra magnets, which was a pleasant surprise. In addition, a First Look book was included for invitations with a few samples, which was fun. The quality of the magnets is excellent. I did notice that some black flecks were shedding from the edges as we stuffed the envelopes, but that wasn't really anything to complain about. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product!
Great Product
Soft and Sweet Save the Date Magnets We changed the colors on the design to make it pop more and it turned out great! Very happy with the final product.
Love the Save the Dates
Vintage Peacock Save the Date Magnets Was very easy to personalize the save the dates. Designer emailed to let us know that the script was originally made it illegible - quick and easy change.

Army 28
(2-4, 0-3 away)
Miami (OH) 35
(1-4, 1-2 home)
Coverage: GamePlan
1:00 PM ET, October 8, 2011
Yager Stadium, Oxford, OH
Top Performers
Passing: Z. Dysert (M-OH) - 342 YDS, 4 TD
Rushing: T. Steelman (ARMY) - 24 CAR, 99 YDS, 2 TD
Receiving: N. Harwell (KU) - 10 REC, 186 YDS, 2 TD
OXFORD, Ohio -- Don Treadwell saw no need for a big celebration after his first coaching win. Standards are a lot higher at the Cradle of Coaches, where four new statues tell the history.
Zac Dysert threw three of his four touchdown passes in the second half Saturday, rallying Miami (Ohio) to a 35-28 victory over Army on a day dedicated to the school's reputation as a launching point for successful coaches.
It took five games and one big comeback to get the first win for Treadwell, a former Miami player who joined in singing the fight song on the field afterward.
"It's been a long time," Treadwell said. "We were overdue to sing the fight song. Being an alum, I knew the words but I didn't know we sing it so many times now. But if you win, I'll sing it as many times as they want."
His quarterback got the band warmed up.
Dysert had only two touchdown passes in the first four games. He put the RedHawks (1-4) ahead midway through the fourth quarter with his 20-yard pass to Nick Harwell, completing a 98-yard drive against an inexperienced defense.
"Obviously that's horrible, to have the ball go down the field," Army coach Rich Ellerson said. "Give them credit, but we're better than that."
Dysert also ran 1 yard for a score against Army's young defense -- which had three sophomores and two freshmen starting.
"We were playing a little out position on a couple of plays," Army linebacker Steven Erzinger said. "Obviously they're going to exploit that. They saw us doing some things they liked and at halftime made some adjustments. Once you get them hot, it's hard to stop."
Army (2-4) blew a 14-point lead in the second half and remained winless in three road games. Trent Steelman threw a 45-yard touchdown pass and ran for two more scores, but was sacked on fourth down from the Miami 15-yard line with 25 seconds left.
Miami unveiled four more statues on its Cradle of Coaches Plaza before the game, honoring Ara Parseghian, John Pont, Bo Schembechler and Earl "Red" Blaik, who played and coached at both Miami and Army.
The RedHawks had trouble getting that first victory for Treadwell, the 34th head coach in school history. The defending Mid-American Conference champions were off to their worst start since 2009, when they lost their first eight games and finished 1-11.
Dysert and Harwell pulled it off.
"It was a great experience," said Dysert, who was 24 of 37 for 342 yards. "That should start us rolling."
Harwell had 10 catches for 186 yards, the third-highest total in school history. He topped 100 yards receiving for the fourth straight game, matching Martin Nance's school record.
The RedHawks were coming off a 27-0 loss to rival Cincinnati a week ago, the Bearcats' first shutout in Oxford since 1898. Miami opened the game with Dysert's 13-yard touchdown pass to Harwell on the sixth play.
The RedHawks couldn't stop the triple option in the first half.
The Black Knights have topped 300 yards rushing in all six games, their longest such streak since 1996. Steelman ran 24 times for 99 yards overall and completed all of his eight passes for 124 yards against a defense that dared the Black Knights to throw.
Steelman started his 31st consecutive game, the longest streak by a quarterback in Army's history. He threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Malcolm Brown for a 21-14 lead late in the first half. It was Steelman's third touchdown pass of the season and the longest play so far by the Black Knights.
Steelman also got the Black Knights rolling at the start of the second half. He carried three times for 55 yards, taking it the final 5 yards for a 28-14 lead on the opening drive.
Another turnover figured in the Black Knights' undoing. Raymond Maples' fumble set up Dysert's 9-yard touchdown pass to Andy Cruse that tied it at 28 on the opening play of the fourth quarter. Army lost two more fumbles, leaving it with 10 lost fumbles in the first five games.

Our new house has a front lawn that's filled with crabgrass. I was told to remove the lawn completely and redo the entire thing. Is there another way to fix my problem? Right now, we have real grass growing around the perimeter of the lawn with crabgrass and other weeds in the middle. Any suggestions will help us, we are VERY new to home ownership and lawn care, so if you can be specific that would be much appreciated. Thank you! |

ahh yes the joys of new homeownsership, am there as well and just dealt with 1/2 acre of crabgrass i got alot of flask for doing it this way but it worked for me. 1) stop watering, (period, no water till the new lawn is in)\ 3) till deeply (this is where i got the most flack) by tilling you will bring up the seeds that will turn into crabgrass. but by deeply i mean at least 6 inches down, and till it through and through, not a single clump should remain intact my 1/2 acre of crabgrass os now a mix of clover and other grases, about 15 crabs came up where i didnt lay down the newspaper properly. the newspaper will dissintegrate in about 3-4 weeks, and hopefully by that time the new grass will be growing and will prevent the crabgrass from coming back. for the next three years you will need to yand crabgrass as soon as you see it. woohoo |
I'm going to try riegersteve suggestion. Also I've been using corn gluten spring/ mid-summer/ fall this is an organic method but very long to see outcome. The corn gluten will prevent the crab grass seed ( any seed) from growing. Also cut your lawn 2.5-3 inches high this will also prevent weeds from growing,.So these methods may be an answer for both of us. Also as a new gardner, if you don't have a compost bin...get one. Contact your local city or Agricultural extention Dept. Follow the instructions and it will make clean up and gardening easier. Good Luck |

I'm just going to suggest something completely different. Can we assume you live in Sacramento, CA? Because crabgrass is a summer annual plant that requires full sun to thrive. If you have something growing in the middle of your lawn currently, it is not crabgrass. Crabgrass is dead, Dead, DEAD in the winter and does not come back in the spring...except from new seed. Can you take a picture and post it? We can help you post it if you can take the picture. What I suspect is you have some sort of fescue growing around the edges and St Augustine grass growing in the middle. St Aug will likely be green now if you have had a mild but rainy winter. St Aug is a broadleafed, warm season, grass that resembles crab grass to the uninitiated. If I recall Sacramento, CA is a fine place to grow St Augustine due to the warm summers and mild winters. First you have to decide what you want to use the lawn for and what you want it to look like. If you are going to play football on it and let the Great Dane pups frolic, then you need different grass than if you are going to just look at it. You also have to decide fine blades (like the fescue) or coarse (like crabgrass and St Aug)? Fescue is going to need a lot of water in the summer because of your heat, but there are varieties that will work well. St Aug can be very lush, but you have to adjust to the coarse appearance. Next you should know that you don't have to have crabgrass at all. There are a couple things you can do to keep it away from your yard. First is to water only infrequently but deeply. Crabgrass seed needs several days of moisture to germinate. If you water once and let that soak in for a week or longer, the crabgrass seeds will not germinate. However Mother Nature is about to through you a curve and water for several days. When that happens your second line of defense is to have the tallest grass you and your spouse can agree to. Set your mower to the highest setting and mow at that height for a month to see how you like it. Don't judge before the end of a month because it will look straggly until it all grows up to the right height. So why mow high? Because crabgrass requires full sun to thrive. Tall, dense grass provides enough shade on crabgrass seedlings that they cannot set a good root, so they die. In this regard, St Augustine is a winner for a few other reasons. One is that St Aug is a sod-forming grass that grows very densly in full sun. Fescue is a bunch grass that grows one plant from each seed and does not knit together to cover the bare ground. Bare ground will fill up with weeds. That is Mother Nature's law. The other advantage with St Aug versus crabgrass is that crabgrass is not very salt tolerant while St Augustine will grow out into the sea if you let it. Thus you can kill any amount of crabgrass and retain all the St Augustine by sprinkling the dampened crabgrass with baking soda. The crab dies in a day or two and any intermingled St Aug is unaffected. Sac'to has a lot of options for either warm season grasses or cool grasses. You need to make some decisions about what the lawn will be used for, how you want it to look, what you are willing to put into it, and what you are willing to put on it. Then get back here with the answers and we can help you. By the way, tilling is a bad idea for lawn surfaces. It might work for gardens, but you don't have to walk on those. Tilling now will result in a lumpy, bumpy lawn in 3 years. |

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will try to get a picture taken this weekend. But I know for sure it is crabgrass, as they all died over the winter and are now popping back up. Is there another way to fix the lawn without having to till it? It is the front yard, we don't have any traffic there and it's about 700 sq feet, very small. |
- Posted by garycinchicago Z5 Chicago IL. (My Page) on Fri, Feb 5, 10 at 1:11
>"Is there another way to fix the lawn without having to till it? " Sure, eradication of weeds with herbicides and preventing the weed seeds from germination with a pre emergent. Your local big box stores and garden centers sell crab grass killers and crab grass preventatives. Apply the pre emergent before soil temps rise above 55 degrees (blooming forsythia coincides with 55 degrees). Apply herbicide to any weeds that do germinate - and then follow David's advice for mowing and watering. |
- Posted by dchall_san_antonio 8 San Antonio (My Page) on Sun, Feb 7, 10 at 0:22
Sounds more like crabgrass if it died out. Still late January is a little early for most crabgrass to sprout. Now that its been a week, is it still looking like crabgrass? Is the rest of your lawn dormant? |

text: 7 Ways Pedal Power Will Change the World Riding a bike can do much more than get you in shape and transport you from place to place. Inventors are constantly coming up with clever ideas to harness the power created by bikes. By Laura Kiniry Return to Gallery Return to Gallery View Thumbnails Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 3 of 7 Keep Us Awake "Converting mechanical motion from pedaling into electricity and then converting that electricity back to mechanical motion isn't always efficient," says Alex Roth, owner of a bicycle-powered coffee roaster and distributor in Davis, Calif. "However, with anything that works in a circular or repetitive motion, it's a great way to do things." In the bike-centric town of Davis (home to the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame), Roth has devised a way to roast coffee using only human power and propane for heat. Every Tuesday night he sits on an old Schwinn that he welded into a stationary frame, and starts pedaling. The bike's fixed-gear chain is attached to an axle, which turns another fixed gear chain that goes up to a large drum located above the unit's burners and a heat shield. The drum then spins in place, tumbling the beans around the same way a clothes dryer does. "It's direct mechanical motion," says Roth. One roast takes about 20 minutes, followed by 5 to 10 minutes of cooling. With help from friends, he usually makes about six roasts a week. "Coffee's a really dirty, ugly industry," says Roth, "and so I figure, since it doesn't grow here and we have to get it from somewhere else, once it gets here, let's try and close up as many loopholes of inefficiency and waste as possible."

Address: 1202 W. Thomas Road, Phoenix (Phoenix College); Records: Shadow Mountain 1-8, 1-3 Desert Valley Region; Brophy 8-1, 4-0; Gametime: 7:00 p.m.
The Broncos held on to the No. 2 spot in the 5A-I power-point rankings with a win over Desert Mountain last week, but it was the emergence of more offensive weapons that has coach Scooter Molander smiling heading into this week's matchup.
Sophomore quarterback Bryan Berens completed 12 of 16 passes for 211 yards, a pair of touchdowns, and no interceptions. Those are his best numbers so far since taking over at midseason for Conor Hearn, who left the school last month.
Berens didn't throw too much then, leading Molander to say he would attempt to get Berens some confidence and some more opportunities to throw.
Junior running back Jonathan Tease also got into the mix, joining backs Rahnee Dennard and Nick Natale on the list of Broncos capable of carrying the ball. Tease ran for 86 yards and two touchdowns against Desert Mountain.

When it reaches spring/summer temps I'll be forced to use some kind of temperature control for fermenting. I'd like to continue brewing 5 gallon batches but the mini fridge I have as a fermentation chamber will only fit two 3 gallon better bottles due to their square footprint. Would i have any problems splitting a 5 gallon partial boil batch into two of these? So basically rack an equal amount of wort into each, top off with an equal amount of water, pitch yeast 50/50 between the two, ferment and then combine both when it comes time to bottle/keg? I don't see any problems with this but maybe I'm missing something. Thanks!
You could do that, but I think I'd put the entire volume into a bucket or larger carboy to ensure equal mixing of what was boiled and then rack that into two better bottles.
I see nothing wrong with that either. A lot of people actually split batches, especially if they are doing something like a fruit beer.
If you aren't concerned about never being able to replicate a batch, you would be fine with your original method. Doing a half an half mix from the boil kettle would likely produce variation between the two fermentations. Might be trivial, but I like to minimize variables.

Having good health insurance is an important part of staying healthy. This article provides advice on obtaining and maintain good health coverage.
When selecting health insurance plans, know exactly what events and conditions the policy covers. Health coverage that addresses these might make sure that you are covered for time off should it become necessary.
A lot of employers offer incentives for employees who have their lifestyle and health assessed. You might be able to find fitness programs that will help your employer save money on insurance coverage, which can help the company save money on its insurance coverage and lower your own premiums.
If you have a family history of needing vision correction, or if there are hereditary factors that could cause problems in the future, it's important to include vision coverage in your health insurance plan. The insurance will cover a percentage of check ups and eyeglass or contact purchases. Vision insurance isn't mandatory, and a number of people keep their wallets a little thicker by eschewing this particular insurance.
Health insurance companies like to change what medications they are willing to cover, so see to it that you read the contract's fine print each time you re-enroll. If the pill you are taking on a daily basis is suddenly not covered, you may need to find a policy with a different company.
Private insurers are regulated by the local state government insurance agency, as it is regulated by your home state.Make sure you review your insurance provider about these gray areas.
Choose the type of health insurance policy works best for you. You can choose from PPO, PPO or HMO. Each one has disparate benefits that you will need to research and decide on before purchasing a policy. Be sure that you can continue seeing your current doctor.
Make sure the doctors and hospitals accept your choice of health insurance. You can usually find a list of hospitals and doctors who accept the insurance company's website.
If you plan to have a baby soon, you should find a healthcare plan that will cover all expenses relating to your pregnancy, from doctor visits to labor to hospital maternity stays. This is critical because there are plans that will not cover certain elements involved with pregnancy and/or labor issues.
For those who can't afford a regular, but would like to be covered for unforeseen accidents, injuries and life-threatening illnesses, catastrophic health insurance is a good alternative. It's a great addition to your comprehensive policy as extra coverage for extreme circumstances.
Health Insurance
Good health is key to living a long, happy life. If you would like to be sure you remain in good health, get good health insurance. Apply what you've learned from this article to get yourself good, high-quality health insurance.

This isn't really a thread about any sort of tactics, a particular model, or personal preferences, but more of a human interest story.
I don't have a huge battery of handguns but I have amassed a variety and it seems a lot of them get attention at the range or other venues where handguns are displayed or used. Here's some of mine that really get a lot of attention:
My Smith and Wesson 686-2. Yes that's right. A 4" bbl .357 Magnum revolver. The classic Combat Revolver more or less. My personal favorite platform for a do it all handgun and one I'd trust to save my life, but also one of the most common things out there because its diversity is appreciated by so many people. Yet I continuously run into people who say they have never seen a revolver like this one. Every revolver they've ever seen is either a little .38 or some giant cannon. I've had people ask to fire a shot off because they have never fired a revolver before because they didn't know there was anything between the little bitty pocket gun and the deer slaying super magnum.
This next one I've only had a few months... my 629-4. I have loads of fun with this gun. See I've learned if I want to clear out a range, all I have to do is fire one cylinder of .44 Magnum catridges and half the people will leave. I've had men stop dead in their tracks and women scream when I've fired this thing. I laugh on the inside because I know there's bigger and badder out there. Now what's funny is that among whoever is left, they ALWAYS ask what it is, what caliber it is, can they touch it, etc. I've never had anyone ask to fire this one yet however.
Last but not least my still relatively new just now showing the holster wear XD40. This one doesn't get me groupies like the wheelguns do (in my dreams) but it attracts the hard core Glock guys who always want to hold it and look down its sights. These are the "If it's not Glock it's crap" crowd too. I usually get a backhanded compliment or a simple "Huh". What I keep expecting to happen is one of these guys will think it's the latest mall ninja fad and suddenly there'll be XDs all over the range. You would think as widely dispersed as they are these guys had seen an XD before, but many of them haven't. The questions I always get are "Where'd you get 12 round capacity magazines?" "Where did you get one in stainless and why?" and sometimes "They make this in .40 caliber?"
Guns are always interesting to me in that even a common one that I don't think much of myself (even though I like it) can completely intrigue another person. People stare at these things like they were $4000 race guns sometimes. To me they're just some guns I wanted but to these people they're amazing wonders. I mean honestly I want to laugh at some people for flipping out over some old Smith and Wesson sometimes.
Of course sometimes I do the same thing like the first time I got to play with a USP. I still think that gun is as cool as all get out and I never get to be around a $1200 gun like that. But the owner of that USP didn't think anything of it. It was just another gun to him. I'm sure that guy was laughing at me for flipping out over some old HK.
What do you have that other people just seem amazed by and always want to see that you don't think is all that impressive or amazing? Or heck maybe you do think it is impressive and amazing and that's why it's yours.

I am thinking x 5 the reciepe but I am not sure its enough.

Rage (Single Player)
RAGE is ID Software's latest shooter. It uses the ID Tech 5 engine to render Mega Textures to look fantastic (not without it's problems though) and maintains a 60 fps rate through the game meaning it runs smooth as a baby's bottom.
Set in a post apocalyptic world where you are an Ark survivor (basically you were buried underground after an asteroid strike). You wake to a world overrun by mutants, destroyed cities and Mad Max style settlers and gangs.
You meet up with John Goodman and immediately start doing tasks for random people and shooting a hell of a lot of mutants.
It is a weird mix of racing, RPG-lite and corridor shooting.
It fakes you with the over world that it will be a Fallout type RPG, but it's very basic. The RPG elements include:
* The towns have a variety of people in them that will give you main missions or side quests (about 10 in the game).
* There are shops that allow you to sell the various debris you collect on missions, or buy ammo, upgrades, build schematics etc.
* There are mini games that include a card game, dice game, guitar strumming and stab yourself in the fingers game.
* You find schematics that allow you to MacGuyver the various debris and parts you find into useful weapons, health packs and explosives. Including the wing-sticks, remote control car bombs and bandages.
* There are races to compete in for upgrades to you car.
However these parts are all mainly distractions to do between missions. The vast majority of the game involves driving to a dungeon type level and corridor shooting your way to the objective and back. i.e A typical ID Shooter.
The graphics are amazing when you stand still and it maintains a 60 fps at all times meaning it moves very smooth. However when you enter an area and when you turn round fast there is a noticeable lag on the textures meaning they seem to load in a second too slow. It's not a huge problem, but it can be distracting.
The best bit of the graphics is the animations of the enemies and characters. All the AI characters have been individually animated for each bit of audio making them move realistically depending on their speech. The enemies leap, roll and dodge with impressive skill making killing them all the more satisfying.
The bigger bosses are impressive and considering it never drops frame rate it all moves fantastically.
I was impressed with the game. The shooting is massively enjoyable, with a wide array of weapons that have multiple ammo types meaning that customising the way you like to play is a lot of fun. Personally I liked to go with the Shotgun for mutants as they get close pretty fast, the Authority rifle for all other types of enemies and the wingstick as the alternate fire.
The Wing-stick is my favourite toy in the game. It's a glave type throwing device (Think the movie Krull) that spins at an enemy, bouncing off surfaces and decapitating them as they run towards you. It never gets old and just gets better with the advanced model you get later in the game.
While the story is functional and the atmosphere in the game is great. It seriously loses it towards the end making me think that the game was rushed. It has a disappointing last few missions and it felt very rushed. The expected final boss battle never materialised and the game just ended leaving you thinking WTF happened next.
It took me about 12:30 hrs to complete the game and I had a hell of a lot of fun.

Worm Threat Forces Apple To Disable Software?
Standard Operating Procedure? (201 comments)
I'm not opposed to temporarily disabling functionality to fix something potentially disastorous. However, I do hope Apple doesn't make it a practice of just turning things off once exploits are found. Turn it off, patch it, then re-enable it is fine by me.

We had a wonderful time at the Hillsdale House for our 11 Anniversary. The room was great and the breakfast was wonderfully done. Looking forward to our next stay. Highly recommend.
Stayed two nights in a 3rd floor room with two beds. Large bathroom with clawfoot tub. Breakfast included eggs made to order and homemade bread. The historic inn is furnished with antiques. Annapolis Royal is a beautiful historic town. Go to the Farmers Market if you have a chance.
About the best B&B we have ever stayed in. The home it self is just fantastic to see, so very well preserved. A very comfortable stay and the breakfast was delicious.
Loved the home. Kate and Laszlo were wonderful hosts and so helpful. We would definitely stay there again.
Thought from Info we had reviewed that we would be able to have a dinner in the dining room and were disappointed that this ws not available.
We we're not disappointed and would recommend this b& b to anyone. Too bad it was end of season in town.This young energetic and enthusiastic couple deserves success!
We had a wonderful visit to Annapolis Royal and The Queen Anne Inn. We have stayed in the glorious inn since 1990, and as always, the stay at the Queen Anne is the best place to retire to after a long day. Clean, comfortable, and quiet. We look forward to our next visit.
Room was very comfortable, good location, helpful staff and wonderful breakfast!
Having been lucky enough to get married at this beautiful place my wife and I returned for an anniversary stay. Hillsdale House never fails to disappoint, from the immaculate rooms, fantastic and exceptionally friendly service to the most incredible breakfast to complete any stay. I look forward to visiting again in the future. Such an incredible experience for amazing value, definitely well worth the visit.
Beautiful Inn! We stayed in room number 2, and it was wonderful. Comfortable bed, large bathroom. Laszlo was a wonderful host. The breakfast was very well done. Laszlo also suggested the cemetery tour, which was well worth it. Would happily stay at this inn again!
Outstanding in all respects.
The property was spectacular. It was a short walk to the town.
We chose the Hillsdale House Inn over the Digby Pines - we're glad that we did. This is a beautiful inn and was well suited for our needs. The rooms were nice, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was also very good.
Very nice inn within walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Annapolis Royal. Our room was spotlessly clean. Bed was wonderfully comfortable. Excellent breakfast, friendly and helpful innkeepers. My only complaint is that the windows of our room would not open. Inn is air conditioned, but as a city dweller I would have preferred breathing the fresh cool Nova Scotia air.
Kate and Laszlo couldn't have been more accommodating. We highly recommend the Queen Anne Inn!
this was a great spot, will definatly come back again
In all regards this is what a B&B should be.
Very nice B&B. Very friendly service, great breakfast.
Wonderful ambience, beautifully furnished rooms and common areas, lovely grounds, great breakfast, and delightful innkeepers and staff.
Really good service and helpful staff. Advised us about gardens, graveyard tour, and restaurant choices. Coach house was ideal for the four of us. Lazlo allowed our girls to plunk on the piano to their hearts content.
We stayed in a two bedroom suite located in the cottage just behind the main house. It was a two story unit with a bedroom and bath on each floor. This was perfect for us. The hosts were very welcoming and breakfast the next morning was upscale and delicious. The Inn is located just a short stroll from the Heritage Gardens and Fort Anne.
We enjoyed two wonderful nights here. Food was spectacular . Our grandson said we should stay another night just for breakfast.
We had a wonderful mother-daughter getaway... And Hillsdale House was an important part of our wonderful memories. Mum so enjoyed a soak in the clawfoot tub, and the breakfast was blog worthy! Our hostess was so friendly and kind. Five Stars!
Sorry we could not have stayed longer as this was such a charming place and so well run. Very relaxing, friendly and convenient to so many amenities - my favorite part of Nova Scotia
Right from the moment we arrived, the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Breakfast was delicious; garden very extensive and location great for all local attractions. Would recommend without hesitation
This Inn was clean and the location was quite convenient for walks into the town. Breakfast was always limited to eggs or one other choice but was tasty. Room furniture was dated and quite uncomfortable. There were no drinks or snacks in room or in common areas of the Inn which was highly unusual for a stay in any Inn.
my family stayed in the carriage house and the accomodations where above what i expected. having my granddaughter with us the rooms where idea as i knew if she woke up during the night would not disturb other guest. staff was wonderful.
We had a wonderful stay at the Hillsdale House Inn. We highly recommend this Inn to others and we'll be back!
Very enjoyable two days in Annapolis Royal. The owners were friendly and very helpful. They provided directions, suggestions for events and restaurants and they made reservations for us. Our room was comfortable, and the food was fantastic.
Warm hosts and delicious breakfasts
