The Year in Review is Not Just About New Movies; 13 Older Films I Discovered in 2013
Best of 2013 By Landon Palmer on December 21, 2013 | Comments (10)It's late December, and that means two things: your sudden panicked realization that you haven't completed your holiday shopping, and movie lists. And like every December, FSR is devoting numerous posts to the very best and worst (but mostly best) that 2013 had to offer at the movies. But as movie fans, we don't only see movies that were released in the year we see them – we might dig into classics and curiosities via online streaming, repertory showings, or simple chance encounters. Year-end lists may summarize the breadth of movies released in theaters throughout the calendar year, but they don't necessarily reflect the yearly consumption of a dedicated movie fan. To many movie lovers, going to a movie theater can be surprisingly rare, and watching movies follows less of a calendar schedule and works a bit more like time travel: one day you're in 2013, and the next you're in 1950s Hollywood, followed by a brief stint in 1980s central Florida, and then back to 2013 again. Furthermore, several distributors (Drafthouse, Milestone, Janus) are increasingly devoting their energy not to releasing new movies, but to reviving under-seen gems. For some of you, 2013 may have had little to do with your movie experience in 2013. So I've concocted an alternative year-end list: the 13 (er, 14) most memorable movies I saw in 2013 that weren't actually released this year. Not necessarily the best, but the movies that most surprised me – the movies that reminded me that no matter […]
The One With 'Jack Reacher' and 'Upstream Color' Making It the Best Release Week Of the Year!
Features By Rob Hunter on May 6, 2013 | Comments (1)Welcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. The Telephone Book Alice is a young lady in the Big Apple whose libido is constantly on the lookout for the next arousing adventure, and she finds it when an obscene caller targets her for an erotic tongue-lashing. She becomes obsessed with finding the man behind the voice and sets out on a journey that brings her in contact with some truly eccentric characters and ultimately in touch with herself. This 1971 film was apparently thought lost for some time to the point that most people have probably never heard of it before. Vinegar Syndrome is still a very young label (this is only their seventh release), but they've more than proven their worth here by resurrecting it onto blu-ray. While described as an erotic cult classic I found the movie to actually be surprisingly funny too. Sarah Kennedy does her best "young Goldie Hawn" combining an adorable goofiness with a real sexiness, and the film as a whole is just the right kind of absurd. It's a strange time-capsule back into the early seventies and manages to display a wit and intelligence unheard of in the softcore genre. [Blu-ray extras: Commentary, trailers, still gallery]

Now available for the first time, the film of Linda's historic, game-changing London LSF lecture
In 2010, Linda Aronson gave a lecture at the London Screenwriters' Festival which so stunned the audience of international writers that they kept her answering questions for almost five hours afterwards. In it, she explained how to
construct 18 screenplay structures (including kinds of flashbacks, fracturing, ensemble, Pulp Fiction-style forms) that are commonly in use but do not fit the conventional Hollywood linear,
chronological one-hero model. In 2011 she returned and gave an extended version of that lecture which was filmed. This historical, game-changing lecture is now, in conjunction with The London Screenwriters' Festival, available to buy for the first time. See a trailer. Buy the video

Linda on The Rise of Parallel Narrative
Is the Three Act Structure dead?
Not at all.
It's great for one-hero, fast-set-up chronological stories. But scriptwriters don't have to stick solely to that kind of story (and actually we never have). The great news is that there are many structural models out there working to clear patterns, so you can plan them. Flashback, flash forward, multiple plots, nonlinear and ensemble cast films have always existed, but the guidelines I've isolated mean that venturing beyond the conventional model is no longer a step into the unknown. Yes, it's perilous, but we have a map. Instead of feeling safe only with one protagonist we can use many. We can use multiple plots, either running side by side as in TV series, or in fractured form, as in Babel . We can use a whole range of flashback and time jump structures. Even films as apparently aberrant as Pulp Fiction or 21 Grams turn out to be written to patterns. 21st Century Screenplay gives you the tools and structural elements necessary to construct your own non-linear story. Don't let anyone tell you you can't write outside the three act structure - you can, people do and it is just as valid as writing within it. See Video of Linda at The London Screenwriters' Festival Use this Site as a Resource
Use this site as a resource This website can only be the start of your investigations into parallel narrative. Navigate the site to get your head around the principles of parallel narrative (plus my take on conventional narrative). You'll find articles, advice, tricks of the writing trade and a blog in which I analyze parallel narrative films, or comment on craft issues generally. I hope you find it useful and I look forward to seeing all of the terrific films that flashback, multiple plots, ensemble casts and non-linear story lines can help to you to write.
Note from Linda... Hi everyone. I've started a newsletter to supplement the blog and the books so as to create a community for indepth analysis of the modern script forms like flashback, nonlinearity etc - as well as looking at interesting aspects of conventional narrative. You can subscribe below. Once you've done that you'll get the next newsletter. You'll also be able to view previous issues. Just be aware that the newsletter program I'm using has anti-spam double opt-in system to protect us both and I am required to do it. So you will be asked to confirm your subscription. Terrific idea in my view, if a bit tedious. We all hate spam!

I just planted a rhodie. Someone told me that I need to spray it so that it does not get infested with bugs. Has anyone heard of this. If so, could you tell me what to use. It looks great but I would hate to have it infested with bugs. |

I have the same question, I planted one last week and the flowers are dying and I'm noticing alot of ants crawling on it...Help! its a beauty and would hate to lose it... I would prefer not to use anything chemical if possible... |
In the proper situation, a healthy azalea or rhododendron is relatively carefree. About the only insects that attacks rhododendrons and azaleas are weevils and lace bugs. Lace bugs attacks rhododendrons that are planted in full sun and are best held at bay by moving affected plants into the shade. The weevils come up at night and eat the edges of leaves. They seldom hurt the plant while eating leaves but the larvae can girdle the roots and kill them. It is best combated with a nematode that keeps it in check. WEEVILS: Leaves chewed on edges is a symptom of chewing insects. Most are nocturnal feeders and can be found at night with a flashlight. The most prominent chewing insects on rhododendrons and azaleas are the Black Vine Weevil and Strawberry Root Weevil, 1/4"long black beetles. Feeding is done at night. Specimens may be collected at night for identification. The major damage is caused by weevil larvae which girdle the roots and kill the plant. Larvicidal drenches may be used to kill them but are of limited effectiveness. A more effective approach is to use nematodes. They are very effective against weevils when applied in the fall to control the larvae. While this approach is promising, it has limitations in that the beneficial nematodes are very sensitive to temperature and moisture extremes and will not live over winter. If applied to soil that is too cold, too wet, too dry or too hot, they will die and provide no control. Best control is achieved by using both chemical and nematode methods with proper timing. Foliar sprays are very effective at controlling adult weevils when leaf notching starts. Foliar sprays of Orthene should be sprayed at about three week intervals from about May to October, depending on the weather, until no adults emerge. Since weevils feed at night, you can hand pick adult weevils at night using a flashlight. Since weevils spend the daytime in the soil and come out at night to feed, you can paint the trunk with Tanglefoot to stop them, but make sure no branches are touching the ground. LACE BUGS: Whitish specks on the upper surface of leaves and dark spots varnish-like on the bottom are symptoms of rhododendron lace bugs, small insects with transparent wings on under-surface of leaves.. They are more prevalent on certain varieties and on plants grown in sunny areas. When damage first appears, it may be controlled by any of a number of contact insecticides such as Malathion or Orthene. Care must be taken to spray the lower surfaces of the leaves where the lace bugs live. Moving a plant to an area with more shade may alleviate the problem. |

I began seeing a great guy about five months ago. I'm 23 and he's 34, but the age difference has never been a big deal as we have a lot in common. We recently went on a weekend trip where he told me nonchalantly over dinner that he did not want children. When he asked me what I wanted, I replied that I did want children. The rest of the night wore on and I didn't think much of it because I'm so young and I don't see myself having kids for a while. But this morning, I began thinking about the situation some more, and now I'm very troubled. I will want kids some day, and if he doesn't, eventually we will have to break up. Does is make sense to do it now, before we have invested time and emotions, or should I wait? Again, I don't want to get married and have children soon, but I will one day, and if he doesn't … what's the point? — Sad at Work

Hi all,
Does anyone have suggestions on how to keep ants off hummingbird feeders? I have my feeder suspended from a metal plant hanger (curved hook on a 5 foot metal pole buried in the dirt) that the ants climb up on and then crawl down onto the feeder. I have tried rubbing vasoline on the pole, spraying the pole with cooking spray or cooking oil, but that doesn't seem to stop the ants from reaching the feeders. Any suggestions would be a great help. :) |

Put tanglefoot, grease, or any long lasting sticky stuff at the base of the pole. You could also use the cap of an aerosol can (spray paint or whatever) that has two chambers (one for over the nozzle and one over the can). Drill a hole in the middle of the inner chamber just big enough for the wire of the feeder and slip the cap on. Fill the outer chamber with water to act as a moat...if you remember to keep it full. Tough to put into words, maybe I'll snap a pic. tj |

MusicFestNW Takeaways
MusicFestNW remains Portland, Ore.'s answer to South by Southwest, minus the booze and barbecue. Even more so than its Austin counterpart, you have to pick your spots at MFNW.
The bands – roughly 160 in total – only perform once, the dozen or so venues are spread out around town, and even priority wristbands don't necessarily guarantee entry. Here are some key takeaways from my four-day sprint.
BEST IN SHOW: Cody Chesnutt at Doug Fir
After a 10-year hiatus, the Atlanta, Ga., native followed his lo-fi debut The Headphone Masterpiece with last year's Landing on a Hundred, a Motown awakening universally hailed by the NPR crowd. As with contemporaries Charles Bradley and Raphael Saadiq, the album only hints at Chesnutt's live prowess. Onstage, he's a commander in soul, directing the crowd as much as his airtight band. Every number, from the endearing new ballad "Love is More Than a Wedding Day" to the blaxploitation funk of "I've Been Life," turned into a call-and-response rave-up. He didn't stop for 75 minutes, and neither did the crowd.
BEST NEW MATERIAL: Deerhunter at Crystal Ballroom
Deerhunter's latest, Monomania, is misleading at first. Recorded on a couple of eight-tracks, it's rough around every conceivable edge, feral and damaged. Yet behind the distortion lies some of the band's most enduring hooks and riffs. Live, side two trifecta "Sleepwalking," "Back to the Middle," and the title track sounded ridiculously huge, while set standard "Nothing Ever Happened" proved itself a frontrunner for indie rock's guitar epics of the past decade.
BEST EFFECTS: Godspeed You! Black Emperor at Roseland Theater
It's been said that Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life seemed like a four-hour trailer to a 24-hour movie. The thought crossed my mind more than once during Godspeed You! Black Emperor's performance, the first of a two-night stand. That's partly due to the dire suspense of last year's 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!, but more so the impact of the four film projectors the band employed. Manually manipulated, the effect was haunting and surreal.
BEST SURPRISE: Donnie Holley at Crystal Ballroom
Improvising in that gray area between brilliant and baffling, Holley offered a nearly indecipherable sermon (I heard "America" a couple of times and he counted to nine twice) of free-form expressionism, backed by a trio that included Deerhunter's Brandon Cox on drums. With his head ticks and deep, impassioned gurgling, this was an act of possession, that of a man searching – digging – for a truth just beyond his reach.
BEST QUOTE: "We're bringing indoor rock to outside Portland. We're bumming you out on a Sunday night." Neko Case on her birthday at Pioneer Square Courthouse
MISSED OPPORTUNITY: My Thursday night, when I power-napped through the Men's midnight set – wearing one of tour tees.

One day after the bombshell interim Inspector General report showing "secret waiting lists" as a Phoenix veterans hospital, Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki met with leading veteran service organizations today.
The embattled secretary, who faces an ever-growing list of lawmakers asking for his resignation, showed no signs he has any plans to leave anytime soon, despite a growing outcry fueled by the report, which showed that as many as 1,700 veterans in need of care were "at risk of being lost or forgotten" by not being placed on the official waiting list.
"At the end of the day, he's used to be shot at and blown up, so this doesn't distract him too much," Derek Bennett, chief of staff for the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans Association told ABC News' Jonathan Karl following today's meeting. "The man has served almost five decades for this country, lost half a foot in Vietnam. The clamor of the Congress doesn't distract him very much."
"This is not a guy that runs away from problems," Bennett added. "He did not give any indication that he wants to resign. He gave every indication that he wanted to carry the ball down the field and resolve the problem."
The meeting, which took place at the VA in Washington, D.C., included 15 organization leaders and focused on the interim report and how to fix the problem.
"He's certainly upset and feels there's been a breach of integrity," Bennett said. "He recognizes the Department of Veterans Affairs has lost some of the confidence among veterans and he wants to change that."
According to Roscoe Butler, assistant director for healthcare with the American Legion, the organization that earlier this month called for Shinseki's resignation, told ABC News he walked away with a "sense of confidence," but the group is standing by its demand for Shinseki to step down.
"The secretary seemed to be very sincere and serious about looking into these systemic problems," Butler said, adding that they were told "within the next 24 hours" the secretary will be releasing his "accountability action" plan for next steps.
"I am walking away with a sense of confidence that the senior leaders for VA that were in attendance at the meeting are looking at this very seriously, they're taking this very seriously, and they're doing the right thing to take the appropriate action necessary to address this systemic issue," Butler said.
The interim report confirmed inappropriate scheduling practices are "systemic" throughout the Veterans Health Administration, and the Inspector General announced the office is deploying "rapid response teams" to 42 VA medical facilities to investigate allegations of misconduct — giving them no warning of their arrival.
At the meeting, Shinseki announced "he's directed the VHA to contact the 1,700 veterans waiting for health care appointments at that facility" and outlined "what the VA will do implement the IG's four recommendations and finish the VA's internal audit of scheduling policies," according to the VA.
However, Bennett said the responsibility to fix the issue ultimately lands back in President Obama's lap.
Obama, both as a candidate and during his first term as president, promised to reform the VA, but "we haven't seen any of that happen." Bennett said. "So this is the president's responsibility at this point. He sends men and women into combat. We also have to make sure we take care of them when they come home."

Gophers Wrap Up Invitational
Sept. 16, 2012 After three days of competition, the Minnesota women's tennis program wrapped up the Gopher Invitational today at Baseline Tennis Center. Freshmen impressed as Minnesota claimed a few top finishers in the final events. In the final round of the Gold Doubles Flight, the Gophers decided to mix up their combos, pairing Julia Courter with Paula Rincon Otero and Aria Lambert with Jessika Mozia. Courter/Rincon Otero finished in fourth after a tight battle against Soule/Colarossi of UW-Milwaukee. Minnesota was ahead 7-6, an effort paced largely by serving aces from both girls, but fell to a comeback from the Panthers (8-6). Mozia and Lambert sailed to an easy victory over Air Force's Hueffner and Magday to finish 7th in the bracket. In addition to their impressive doubles showings, Rincon Otero and Mozia wrapped up their first collegiate tournament with success in the singles finals. Rincon Otero established herself as a powerful threat for the Gophers with a sixth-place finish in the Gold (A) Flight, making her Minnesota's top finisher of the tournament. Over in the Maroon (B) Flight, Mozia tested her endurance with a long match against Iowa's Christina Harazin. Mozia came out on top (6-4, 4-6, 6-3) to secure third place. Lambert also continued her run in the Gold Flight, beating Krissy Lankelma by scores of 6-0, 6-4 to finish in thirteenth.

Hey everyone
This is my first posting on Garden web. I'm Noel Ramos from Coral Springs Fl. Some of you know me, to others I will be the "new guy". I have been growing tropical fruits for over 20 years and have grown and fruited many rare fruits here including Ilama, Soursop, Abiu, Sugar apples, Rollinia, Jakfruit and others. This is zone 10 so most of the tropicals do well here except for the real wimpy ones like Breadfruit. Once I figure out how to post photos, I will do so! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Noel, I just reread your 2004 article on A. squamosa in Fruit Gardener and found it very interesting. I'm a relatively new CRFG member in southern California (pouring over back issues), and the only annona I've ever tasted is cherimoya, but I'm interested in experimenting with others. Have you heard of others having much success with this tree in California? I was thinking of growing several seedlings and grafting one or two to cherimoya rootstock, to see how they fared, compared to the sugar apples on their own roots. Do you ever distribute seeds of your Big Red variety? If you had some to spare, I'd gladly pay postage. Thanks for any help you can provide. James |

The 2014 PEN International/New Voices Award was awarded to Marina Babanskaya for her short story 'The Frogs' Chorus'
Novelist Andrei Kurkov, vice president of Ukrainian PEN, presented the prize of $1000USD to Babanskaya at the 80th PEN International Congress in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
'She records and selects with her eyes and her ears in exactly the way that I feel is most important: and it is not just the smell of the sagebrush steppe, it is no less than the strong smell of history which walks these dusty expanses… Marina has found her own geography – striving with all her soul towards the south, which she writes about distinctly and skilfully. As Sappho said three thousand years ago, 'Some say cavalry and others claim infantry or a fleet of long oars is the supreme sight on the black earth…' The soul of this writer has its own direction: Zadoniye, the south…not in the vast and dimensionless way in which we look down from an aeroplane or at a map, but dealing with a piece of land of a precise size, with which the human heart can fall in love. I accept her invitation, and together with her I am ready to fall in love with Zadoniye…' – Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Chair of Russian PEN's New Voices jury 2014
Babanskaya, born in 1986 in the Rostov region in southern Russia, holds a BA in Journalism from the Institute of Journalism and Creative Writing and a degree in Law. She is currently studying for an MA in Folklore and Mythology at the Russian State University for the Humanities and lives in Moscow. She was nominated by St Petersburg PEN Chapter.
Congratulations to all of the shortlisted writers; the longlisted writers Kasim Bazil and Amalia Cernat and thank you to the jury, the translators, and all candidates and PEN Centres who have participated this year.
The PEN International/New Voices Award encourages new writing in the countries in which we operate, and provides a much needed space for young and unpublished writers to promote their work. The award actively encourages entries from diverse linguistic regions and communities.
Before PEN International was established in 1921 its founder, C. A. Dawson Scott, set up the Tomorrow Club as a space for aspiring writers to network with established authors; in 1928 Herman Ould, International Secretary, felt strongly that it was important for PEN to maintain focus on helping emerging writers, and so established the first 'Young PEN' chapter.
The PEN International/New Voices Award builds on these ideas, simultaneously reconnecting with our past and moving into the future. The award is open to unpublished writers aged 18-30. The young writers must be nominated by their local PEN Centre: PEN International cannot receive entries directly from candidates.
The first PEN International/New Voices Award was given on September 11 2013 to Masande Ntshanga for his short story 'Space'. Ntshanga had been nominated by South African PEN. Writer and jury member Alain Mabanckou (below) presented the prize in a ceremony at the Reykjavík International Literary Festival, during the 79th PEN International Congress in Iceland.
2014 Winner: Marina Babanskaya (St Petersburg PEN Chapter)
2014 Runners-up: Kasim Bazil (Central Asian PEN), Amalia Cernat (Romanian PEN)
2013 Winner: Masande Ntshanga (South African PEN)
2013 Runners-up: José Pablo Salas (PEN Mexico), Claire Battershill (PEN Canada)

Get the Best Priced EBC Greenstuff SUV/LT Sport Brake Pad Set
- Fast Shipping
- 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
- Lowest Prices
For heavier pickups and SUV's, EBC concentrates the 6000 formula to create the more potent Greenstuff 7000 Series. The Greenstuff SUV/LT Sport brake offers the ultimate in endurance. While its surface offers the longest wear life of any Greenstuff brake series pads, the improved pad life will not come at the expense of your rotors. These are the lowest dust-producing pads EBC offers for trucks and SUVs. Steel wool compounds are omitted from the 7000 series brake pads, so one set of rotors will last through two sets of pads. These pads boast a red surface coating that scours off existing glaze from worn rotor surfaces, while compensating for reduced performance during the initial 100 mile break-in period with a stronger grip. In government R90 tests, they have been shown to deliver performance, bedding, cold temperature operation, and speed sensitivity that equals the original manufacturer parts Sometimes the most annoying thing about maintaining your car or truck is searching for an outstanding source for reliable parts. When your car or truck gets in an accident, the optimum approach is acquiring a high performance replacement auto part to preserve your car in optimum condition. With mileage, even the most solid cars and trucks have to have mechanical service and replacement of broken systems.
Fast shipment, great product, would recommend to others. A+
Got parts at good price, cheaper than the local parts store and no taxes, that's great. I did not mind the wait for the part, and they arrive with in a week. I'm going to use them again for sure. ...

So far I am in love with this "gloss". I don't really think of it as a gloss though and if I were reviewing it as one it would have gotten a very different rating. This is more of a liquid lipstick than a gloss. Glosses should be shiny and wet looking. This is shimmery and has a subtle sheen to it. If you completely disregard the notion that this is a gloss and should feel like one, then this is a very nice product. It is longer wearing than most products like it (i.e. liquid lipsticks, not glosses). However the notion that anything other than a long-wearing lipstick is going to last more than a 2-3 hours is just silly (at least if you plan on eating, drinking, breathing, etc.). As for the wand I myself love it. For a pigmented gloss (which this color is) it allows you really precise control over where the gloss goes and how much you put on.
I have this in #135 and it comes out much lighter on my lips - a wearable NARS Turkish Delight on my NC35 skin. I do like how this doesn't look too glossy and while I love the applicator, I don't like how sticky this is. And yes, this DOES transfer on cups, mugs, etc.
I like this lip gloss very much. The colors are very nice and glossy. I am very pleased with its lasting power. The gloss is also easy to put on, not too sticky nor too liquid.
I'm torn, I love the consistency and the longwearing of this lipgloss but I hate the color I got. I tried it on my hand it is called Plumped Rose, it very MLBB rosey pink, but on me, it looks very sheery barely there. Its upsetting because I actually wanted a better color payoff. Maybe If I trade in the color to something darker, it may show up brighter.
I am going to completely rewrite this review and elevate it to HG status, as it has been my go-to product forever, and I can't find anything else quite like it. I use it in two different ways:
1. as a stain: I take the darkest color (Rebel Red) and apply very sparingly on my lower lip and then rub my lips together. with only a teeny amount, it becomes only a tiny bit sticky, not bad at all. I actually like the mild stickiness, as I can use it as an indicator - if I can't feel it anymore, I know it's time to reapply. a very thin coat of this reads as a lovely berry stain on me. it will last through a couple of hours at a party sipping on a cocktail, and I can rub my lips together to redistribute the color. even after the gloss is gone, there is just a teeny bit of pink stain left behind. it just always looks good on me.
2. as a stain topper: I love Just Bitten Kissable Stain Balm in Crush -- it leaves behind a vivid stain that lasts all night. unfortunately, when the top color wears off, the stain is way too vivid pink. so when the balmy feeling has worn off, I top it with L'Oreal Infallible in Raisin. it is just the right color to neutralize the pinkness, and it creates a seal that will last a couple more hours. I normally hate having to use two lip colors, but this combination has been a real winner for me. the raisin also looks nice on its own, as a lovely daytime color. note: it looks browner in the tube than it actually is. on me it is actually more of a subtle plum base with a slight gold shimmer. it's a MLBB color. weirdly, the plum becomes more noticeable in photos than it does in real life, but either way I like how it looks.
since they're both sheer (and I apply them thinly), I've managed to master applying this w/o looking in a mirror. I can do a quick check in the reflective cap to be sure I didn't make a mistake. between that and the lasting power, it makes it my favorite party lipcolor. bonus: it is not exactly moisturizing, but it seems to create a protective barrier and never dries my lips out.
Very nice lip gloss...stays on well, looks and feels nice. My only complaint would be that it's a little drying.
More reviews by ashleypooh1014
I got these bogo at walgreens a couple weeks ago. Although the six hour claims are rubbish, I really do like these. The color payoff isnt very good, but I dont care about that. I like to use these to seal on my lipstick, and it works quite well for that. I would say it lasts 2 to 3 hours max, but whatever lipcolor i have under it, doesnt budge for about 5 hours. I have petal which i use as a sealer for creme d nude and myth lipsticks. I also bought the plumping version in plumped pink, which i like to use with hue and pervette lipstick (pervette is a blueish pink, this gloss mutes the blue) I really think these are great and have a great price. if you use it properly youll love it im sure! Alot of the reviews complain that its tacky feeling, but if you apply only the amount on the wand without double dipping, youll see it works better with less product ( which is a great money saver) also let it set for about a minute before smooshing the lips together.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have a few tubes of this and I'm not very satisfied with the color payoff. It does look rather dull, so I have to find that I layer this with another lip gloss/stain/lipstick. I already have pretty big lips naturally...this does slightly enhance that, but not by much. Honestly, not very impressed with this product. I only use it when I want a natural/nude lip, which I rarely do. Doesn't last too long, either. Doesn't plump like it says it should...all in all, this product falls short. I'll use what I have, but I won't be repurchasing.
Stays on long, but not the shine. Looks dull after about 2 hours. Comes completely off in 6 hours.. And when it fades off/comes of, my lips feel dry and stiff, almost irritated. Sticky, so the product tends to pick up a lot of dirt - had my lips and nasty1Has a cotton candy-bubblegum type of smell that is so attracting at first, but gets annoying and a bit nauseating.
I just tried this lip gloss for the first time today. I only own one color (Petal: A muted pink and champagne-like color with shimmer). The color I have is very lovely, and I think it's an ideal color to wear with smokey eyes. The gloss is more pigmented than I expected it to be, and that's a good thing. It makes my lips look paler, but in a really good and flattering way.
I've found that this lip gloss actually does tend to last quite a long time (around 5-6 hours for me), so this gloss would be really good for when I have to go places that don't allow me time to reapply my lip gloss frequently.
The applicator is really something. I'm not picky when it comes to gloss applicators, but this one is pretty neat. It doesn't pick up a lot of gloss, but this is a good thing, because it's always easier to build up on gloss instead of working with too much gloss.
There's one negative thing I have to say about this gloss: I really don't like the smell. Lip gloss and lip stick scents usually don't have the tendency to bother me. You know that (in)famous Play-Doh smell in many drug store lipsticks? That smell doesn't bother me in the slightest. The smell in this gloss, though ... It bothers me. I'm fine as long as I keep my nose away from the applicator, but wow. The product smells like heavy chemicals that are trying to be hidden by a vanilla scent. Disgusting!
I think the smell is preventing me from truly loving this lip gloss, which is a shame, because the quality of the product is extremely good for a drugstore brand (and even high-end brands). I'm on the fence about whether I'll buy this again ... Perhaps if I am able to hit a sale on it, then I will.

A Generous Donation Brings a New Drug Dog to Sang. Co.
The Sangamon County Sheriff's Office is adding a new officer to its ranks, and we're told she's got quite the "bark."
Rajah is a 15-month-old Belgian Malinois, also known as a Belgian Shepherd dog. Rajah is joining two other drug dogs in the department's K-9 Unit. Belgian Malinois are used worldwide by police agencies and the military as drug and bomb-sniffing dogs. They're also widely used in search and rescue.
Rajah is replacing another dog, who was injured in a training accident and forced to retire. She was purchased after a donation from the Landmark Automotive Group in Springfield.
"When Sean talked to me about it, it was a couple of weeks before I got back to him because I wanted to make sure that we utilized this generous donation in an appropriate manner," Undersheriff Jack Campbell said. "And Sheriff Williamson and I sat around and talked about it and was like, 'what do we need the most?' And ironically, we were faced with the injury of this dog almost simultaneously, and so it really was a no-brainer."
Rajah and her handler are currently in training and are expected to finish in December.

Reviance Plastic Surgery's board-certified surgeons and physicians work to improve physiques and complexions, drawing from an extensive menu of cosmetic services that includes skin treatments, laser treatments for hair and scar removal, injectables, and plastic-surgery procedures. Unlike the before and after pictures at pie-eating competitions, Reviance's gallery of before and after photos showcases tightened and toned outcomes.
At Premier Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon James Newman, MD, FACS and his fellow board-certified plastic surgeons enhance beauty within their state-of-the-art surgical suite. Dr. Newman completed his residency and a fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at Stanford University, where he now serves on the clinical faculty.

The renowned surgeon also lectures internationally and has authored more than 30 surgery-related scientific publications and a coloring book.
Dr. Newman and his staff perform a variety of medical procedures, ranging from face-lifts and Vaser ultrasonic liposuction to minimally invasive body-contouring and enhancement techniques. They can also combat signs of aging via nonsurgical means, including dermal fillers that smooth wrinkles and Vaser Shape sessions that, like a rearview mirror in place of a bathroom mirror, make bodies look smaller.

Decieving Description if your in if for Style
Boots are great, however, the description says these boots are black, in fact they are brownish. This is the fault of the company, not this site. Other than that, they are amazing, stiff and extremely comfortable! As long as they work, who the F#%@ cares!

Volcom Lineage Jacket - Women's
LOVE LOVE LOVE this Jacket!
This is the most stylin' jacket by far this season. It is so toasty, but its just a shell basically, so no bulk. The fabric is totally sturdy and waterproof. One thing though, is that I most definitely would have ordered a size smaller. I have a Westbeach in medium, a Roxy in large, and a Burton in medium, so I figured a medium in this jacket would be the same, but I wish I got the small. Tough luck! BUT the jacket is RAD!

Newact Inc. will display its danglers, which are now produced with a CPE overmold. The company says CPE rubber compound is chemically superior to the Hypalon that had been used previously. This allows the dangler to remain flexible longer than plastic (vinyl or plastisol) or other rubber compounds. Newact says it is the first and only manufacturer to overmold dangler sleeves, a process that prevents fluid from migrating between sleeves and cable.

Syracuse Shows presents
Chelsea Grin
Stick To Your Guns, Upon This Dawning, The Storm, Jonestown
A Chelsea Grin in soccer hooligan terminology is the act of cutting a rivals mouth with either a credit card or blade and then kicking them in the crotch so their mouth muscles split into a bloody grimace. Chelsea Grin, the band from Utah armed with THREE guitarists use a foundation of hardcore grit combined with death metal technicality and grind speed to produce as much aural harm as the back alley jaw split. The band is the premiere artist on Artery Recordings, a new imprint of Razor & Tie Entertainment, and are releasing their debut full-length Desolation Of Eden this February. The album will hit in the midst of the band's two month run with The Red Chord and My Children My Bride (dates on following page). Artery Recordings is the recording arm of The Artery Foundation who are the management team responsible for jumpstarting the careers of Whitechapel, The Devil Wears Prada, A Day To Remember, Attack Attack! and Impending Doom. Speaking on why Chelsea Grin get the Artery seal of approval, Eric Rushing, President of the company says "The first time I saw this band I was completely blown away and the crowd interaction was just as intense, it reminded me of the first time I saw Whitechapel. This band is very young and the kids are already loving them coast to coast. Very excited about their debut!"
Desolation Of Eden was tracked at Lambesis Studios owned by Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying and bares the hallmarks of Chelsea Grin's devastating live show. Songs like the title track and Sonnet Of The Wretched utilize the double bass drumming, three guitar attack, ultra low bass frequencies and wraith-like vocals into a wall of sound to devastating effect. Brutatlity aside what separates the band from many of their contemporaries according to Jaek (guitar) is "obviously our age, we are a very young band being mostly 18 and 19. I know a lot of people have an impression on metal bands is that they are big, burly dudes with beards and not very approachable. We pretty much are the opposite of that, we are always hanging out with the fans at shows because we are them! Teenagers that like heavy music and hanging out."
Age aside Chelsea Grin is made up of Alex (vocals), Michael (guitar), Andrew (drums), Dan (guitar), David (bass) and Jaek, and have completed feats that bands existing twice as long have not. Forming from the ashes of Ahaziah, Chelsea Grin got active in March 2008. "Right after we formed we recorded our first EP made up of five songs and started playing local shows. Soon after we signed to a small indie called Statik Factory and released a single called Recreant and did a small west coast tour in June of that year. The following month Statik Factory released our EP. Very quickly after that our Myspace page was getting hits from around the country and we found ourselves not only being established in Utah but kids all over were writing us and listening to us."
Speaking on the obvious development between the earlier songs and the audio crushing output of Desolation Of Eden Jaek comments "Lyrically we have matured quite a bit, when we wrote the EP a lot of our early lyrics dealt with betrayal by females that we didn't think very fondly of. A lot of younger males could relate those lyrics to ex-girlfriends, friends whatever. However after our experiences of freedom within this band, I find a lot of our songs are about breaking away from voices of authority and ultimately living life the way you want to live it. We also re-recorded our older songs Recreant and Cheyne Stokes so the brutal songs will still be there (laughs)."
Chelsea Grin has completed tours with Arsonists Get All The Girls, A Plea For Purging, American Me, Dr.Acula, Attila and Within The Ruins and shared stages with Suicide Silence, Parkway Drive, My Children My Bride.
We currently live in an age of angst and depression from a longterm economic recession that has seemed to affect everyone to some degree. However, fortunately there are those few individuals that always keep a positive outlook while trying to show the world that there are plenty of things they should be thankful for outside of the material goods they deem so important. STICK TO YOUR GUNS is more than a band, they have evolved into a movement that focuses on individual self expression, the desire to create a better life for yourself and an emphasis on the importance of family and treating others with respect.
Bursting at the seams with a vibrant energy and overall positivity comes this Orange County sensation, who provide a message of hope and that could serve as the soundtrack to the new hardcore/punk revolution. Visionary Jesse Barnett (vocals) was originally inspired to form a band that would provide him with a medium to project his view points and reflect his musical influences and he continues to do just that to this very day bringing a stable of accomplished musicians on board. STYG blends melody, heaviness, and sincerity into one solid sound that will cater to fans of Comeback Kid, Ignite and Rise Against.
After four full-length albums, a number of worldwide tours and legions of diehard followers the band has come full circle and in 2012 delivers the most important effort of their already stellar career. The much anticipated new album, Diamond, encompasses what STYG is all about and sees their songwriting develop and mature to ultimately craft their definitive release, which ultimately delivers a message of inspiration that anyone can relate to.
Barnett states: "The new album, Diamond, is an insight to the way we view the world through our eyes. All the good and all the bad. This is an amazing place we live in. There is so much mystery about our existence and it fascinates the hell out of us. The pain people go through, the good that people do and the gods that people are willing to kill and die for. It's all who we are as a whole and its important for us to understand this. What's inside of you is what is happening outside in the world. How we can look at everything thats going on around us and think that we are at a complete disconnect from it, is beyond me.
"We also try to live the words we speak. It's become more and more important to me as we have moved forward through this band's life, that we do the things we are saying. We try to give back any moment we can. This band has become more than just a band for me. I very much try to be the words that I write. I'm not a perfect. I am far from it, but what helps me more than anything is when a kid comes to me and says 'hey man my life was a wreck and I was in a downward spiral and this bands music has picked me up'. This is what helps me because I know what thats like and I have bands that have done the same things for me so to be that band for someone else is an honor.
"I feel like this band has progressed through its life like I have through mine. Every person on this earth is searching for things trying to find out who they are, where they belong and ways that they can express themselves. With the new album, not to sound to generic, we really took inventory of our music and for me at least I took inventory of my life, my flaws and mental vices. This is me trying to let it all go and find whats truly important to me and that is my friends, family and all of humanity. Society interests me in ways that I previously never knew. The things that people endure and the stuff people bounce back from and the ways we progress through science and technology amazes me. I love this world even though here are absolutely shitty things about it. I'm trying very hard to change my view and always trying to find ways to give back as much as possible."
In 2012, STICK TO YOUR GUNS gives to the world a diamond that shines bright and exudes a proclamation of hope and inspiration that could even impact the most cynical.
Hailing from Verona, Italy, pulverizing sextet Upon This Dawning has been honing their melodically brand of metal. Touring incessantly in Italy, the band quickly attracted a rabid following in their home country, releasing EP "Count The Seconds Until Your Last Breath", and gained new fans in each city at their shows throughout Europe. The band has shared stages with some of the biggest names in the scene including Asking Alexandria, Underoath, Dance Gavin Dance, blessthefall, Piece the Veil, Motionless in White and In Fear and Faith, and is endorsed by Truth Custom Drums. Upon This Dawning is set to release their first album with Fearless Records in fall 2012.

Valentines day at schools
Does your kid's school do valentines cards? DS's school does, he is in kindergarten so this will be his first year doing it. I'm trying to figure out what to do. I've seen other people do anything from the regular store bought ones, to homemade, to little bags with candies and small favors in them.
What kinds of things do you do?
store bought... for their closer friends, they usually get a small gift bag put together and they are given out after school
We did the store bought ones that had stickers with them rather than candy.
I am a photographer so I take my girl's pics and make them special Valentine's cards and then I find something fun on Pinterest to make and either bake something or I might do suckers this year.

Conveying the Search for Justice
Sylvia Bell White tells the story of her brother's wrongful death
When Sylvia Bell White's brother was gunned down by Milwaukee police in 1958, the truth was as plain as the knife in his hand. Dan, an African American, was left-handed; officers said he'd had a knife in his right hand. That the knife was planted was finally proven in 1984, the year the Bell family, devastated by the initial justifiable homicide ruling, won a $1.6 million civil rights lawsuit.
With the help of co-author Jody LePage of Madison, Bell White, of Watertown, tells her story in Sister: An African American Life in Search of Justice (University of Wisconsin Press, $27.95).
In transcribed recordings, Bell White details her life journey from impoverished Jim Crow Louisiana to racially charged Milwaukee. LePage intersperses richly researched historical context on the twentieth-century African American experience, from the Great Migration to the Civil Rights and Black Power movements. And LePage helps convey and lend context to Bell White's deep convictions about family, education and racism.

I have a few questions.
I hear about 70 days is a key time to harvest and in 100 days they bolt. Will they go 70 day with out bolting even in mid summer? Or will they bolt in like 20-30 days before they get a chance to grow? I will be planting every week to keep up with harvests.
I am doing a fall crop of cilantro right now, but I need to know how it holds up in the summer, and some tips to keep it from bolting. If I can plant it in an area that shades afternoon sun, maybe I can get away growing it all summer? Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It will bolt much more rapidly in summer conditions, but its hard to say exactly how long, because growing conditions have such an influence. I guess the best way to explain it is to say that, the more stressed the plants are factors such as heat or drought, the faster they will bolt. Shade in the afternoon would definitely help to delay bolting. Shaded cilantro also is, IMHO, somewhat better for certain culinary uses, because it has very tender stems. Sounds like you're doing this for commercial purposes -- you may want to check out a few of the improved varieties such as 'Santo', "Leisure", or "Slow Bolt" which were bred to be slower to bolt. |

Thanks so much. That really helped a lot. I will check those varieties out. Thanks for the tips. |
I've never had much luck with cilantro in the summer. It can bolt before it grows very much at this time of year. It lasts a lot longer in the fall or early spring. |
- Posted by fatamorgana Zone 5/6 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 30, 12 at 10:18
Nobody has much luck with it in the summer, not even us Northern gardeners. Though we do have a much longer season for cilantro than others in warmer zones. You can plant for fall harvests maybe mid-august or so. FataMorgana |
- Posted by TheMasterGardener1 5B (My Page) on Tue, Jul 31, 12 at 18:27
Thanks for that info FataMorganna!! I planted some seeds a few days ago so I am right on time :) |
- Posted by wally-1936 r (My Page) on Thu, Aug 9, 12 at 14:01
For those in the south the best time is for fall and winter plantings of cilantro. Also for us in the Houston area I have gone to "Hong Kong" grocery store but that was years ago and planted a large row over 30 feet long and ended up with plants over 3 foot tall over a foot wide and I ended up giving most of it to family and friends, it was wonderful in looks and flavor, the prettiest plants I have even seen. They bolt quickly here in our weather once it starts to warm up. They can take a good frost without missing a beat. |
- Posted by fatamorgana Zone 5/6 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 9, 12 at 16:14
I'm sure our ideas of "winter" and "frosts" are quite different. ;) Cilantro - Light frosts, yes. Killing or heavy frosts, no. Most things give up for the season or for good at that point. Young plants can overwinter under the snow but do not expect anything out of them come spring. Best to sow new seed. FataMorgana |
