WL - can you take boat to MK and then use monorail to Epcot?
At WL, can you boat to MK and then grab the monorail to Epcot - w/o a park hopper? Thx!
Yes, all of the transportation is outside the theme parks. If you take the boat to the Contemporary, you'll have to walk to the main building and go up to the 4th floor to take the monorail, then it's one stop to the TTC. If you go to MK, you'll need to go over to your left to the monorail station, then it's two stops to the TTC (including stopping at the monorail).
If you're looking for the quickest way, it's probably the bus. The boat to the Contemporary is only about half the time as the one to MK, but the walk to the monorail is probably twice as long as the walk at MK. We like using different routes, just to see everything, so have fun deciding. |
And then realized it was actually faster to just take the bus to Epcot so that's what I did after riding the monorail. |
I like doing this route from time to time for a change and for fun coming back from Epcot. Its fun to ride the monorail and to walk through CR to get the boat to WL. Unless you have time to kill for some reason I don't like taking this route going to Epoct. I'm to much in a rush to get there. Especially for rope drop.
yes you can. We did this several times in August when we stayed at WL.

The room was very large, large enough for us to set up our 4 and a half month old's pack and play and still have enough room to walk around comfortably. The staff was also very accommodating and nice. We checked in after midnight on the night of our stay and it was no problem.
Although the room was clean, it smelled a bit like sewage. The window was small so there was not a lot of light, and the room overall could use a lot of updating. The shower head was mounted a bit low, so you had to bend backwards to rinse your hair under the shower, but the water pressure was good.
Seemed clean
Very old fashioned. Looked as if the room and building hadn't been updated since the 70's. We were also put in a building seperate from the pool and front desk. Our room had an odor to it most likely from when people could smoke in their hotel rooms.
Location and staff
Could use updating. Just did not feel clean and modernized. This starts from the outside, older sign and parking lot .
Our car broke down and was getting repaired on the day of check-out. The guy at the desk extended our check-out for an extra hour while our car was repaired. No charge. Every one was super friendly and helpful, our room was clean and the breakfast was good. We will definitely stay here again!
Loved the waterfront view - although we didn't have it in our room.
The pillows were flat, my only complaint.
Front desk clerk was cheerful, informative.
no comment
Very nice newly remodeled room.
A ton of construction going on that was noisy when my girlfriend and I were trying to rest from a very long drive to Marquette. They have to do it at some point, though.
We did not like anything. We were charged extra for things we are not even responsible for. This hotel clearly just tries to rip off its guests for as much money as possible. Also, the beds were not comfortable and the room was not very clean.
The beds were like sleeping on bricks. Another room broke our chain lock on the door, and we were charged for it even after explaining to the front desk that it was not our fault. They also charged us extra claiming someone 'peed the bed' when no one did.
friendly staff and good location.
Too expensive for an average hotel. For that price we will stay at comfort inn next time. Also, there was a band or something below our room until midnight, which got a little annoying. Decent hotel but not worth the money.
Easy access and good breakfast.
Slightly older hotel but good upkeep.
view of lake from the balcony
i found rat feces in the bed
The staffs were really not friendly. Actually the service they provided were very bad. They just want to charge you extra money and did not let you know the charge at the check-in time. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
Price in comparison to the other options
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

port and market town in Anambra State, southern Nigeria. The town lies on the east bank of the Niger River just south of its confluence with the Anambra River. Founded by adventurers from Benin (nearby, to the west) in the early 17th century, it grew to become the political and trading centre of the small Igbo (Ibo) kingdom of Onitsha. Its monarchical system (rare among the Igbo people) was patterned after that of Benin. An Onitsha obi ("king") negotiated in 1857 with William Balfour Baikie, a British trader, for the establishment of a British trading post in the town.

Here is another question from a site visitor:
From: Sarah
msg: I am a big fan of Disney and my favorite character is Dumbo the Flying Elephant! Was there any other plans for Dumbo attractions at Walt Disney World?
Here is my answer:
Sarah, Thank you for the question!
As far as I know, there were no other plans for a different or additional Dumbo attraction at WDW (espcially since the simple Dumbo ride is continually one of the park's most popular attractions).
If anyone has any additional information that I may not be aware of, or any comments, feel free to post them here.
Thanks! :-D

Stolen Pasco car used in Oregon semi stabbing
From Oregon State Police:
Updated information indicates on August 25, 2014 at approximately 12:09 p.m. (PST), OSP received a report of a stabbing along Interstate 84 eastbound near milepost 358. A commercial truck pulling two tanker trailers containing milk driven by CHARLES D. VANZANTE, age 63, from Jerome, Idaho, was traveling eastbound on Interstate 84 when, unprovoked, a Buick Lacrosse displaying Washington license plates driven by an adult male began ramming the truck's diesel tanks.
VANZANTE pulled the truck and trailers to the side of the road and stopped. The Buick's driver stopped the car against the side of the truck, got out and entered the truck where he stabbed VANZANTE multiple times.
The suspect, who has not been positively identified, fled up a hill south of the scene and then returned back to the truck where he briefly engaged in a second struggle with VANZANTE. He then was surrounded by several citizens outside the truck and convinced to stay as OSP troopers began arriving at the scene and took the suspect into custody at gunpoint.
An OSP lieutenant and trooper initiated emergency medical care on VANZANTE until relieved by medical responders. VANZANTE was transported by air ambulance to St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho. His injuries were determined to be non-life threatening.
The suspect has been lodged in the Malheur County Jail for Attempted Murder and Assault in the First Degree. Additional charges are pending. The vehicle was confirmed stolen out of Pasco, Washington.
OSP Criminal Investigations Division detectives are continuing the investigation and working to positively identify the suspect.
OSP was assisted by Malheur County Sheriff's Office, Baker County Sheriff's Office, ODOT, Treasure Valley paramedics and Huntington ambulance.

« Perched on high to reach for the sky » could be the translation of the words written below the majestic cockerel on the family's coat of arms. It is a fine, noble motto that defines our past, our history and our traditions. "Take the high ground to see far" would befit "La Pouyade", our lovely estate that has been in the family since 1894. It is perched at the top of a hill where our handsome manor house overlooks our magnificent vineyard standing in the heart of the Grande Champagne of Cognac.
If Cognac has a soul, that soul is to be found in La Pouyade, and it is mirrored in this Vintage 1953, "Jean Fillioux" has been carefully tucked away just the right amount of time in the peace and quiet of our dark, damp cellars.
Discover for yourself this old Vintage 1953, you'll feel like entering an old stately home. Bathed in a deep, amber-red glow, you'll hesitate, feel a thrill of emotion, and then detect a perfume of dried flowers, a glass of old sherry. You'll step along a magnificent waxed parquet floor, sensing notes of old leather and incense. The rich aromas of gingerbread, quince confit and toasted orange zest suddenly come to the fore. Hints of liquorice and sweet spices will linger in your memory after the door gently closes.
Welcome to the majestic, unique world of La Pouyade.

Reviewed Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs
Jan 3, 2013 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Made this for a party last week and everyone loved them. It made enough filling for probably a dozen eggs and was a bit too salty to my taste. I think it was because the smoked salmon was already salty. When I make them again, I will hold the salt until the end and then salt to taste. Otherwise, the recipe was great, and the eggs were a bit hit.""

OK VOS, I'm in a pickle with setting up a CCK to my existing setup.
Have a single LNB into a 8way SWIM splitter. Only goes out to 3 receivers.
HR-20/700(whole home white unit)
H21(whole home white unit)
SWM is located where the HR34 is setup.
I've tried hooking the CCK into all 3 receivers(I know the H21 isnt a dvr, but just to get a connection to a different Router Network), all to no Avail. I'm encountering issues when trying to enter the security key. My router is an ASUS RT N56U unit, dual band. 2.4ghz is a secured WPA network. The 5ghz band is open network, no key, but the CCK cant find that network?. The other part of the house has a Trendnet cheapo router WEP encrypted. Each time i enter my password, I get the Unable to verify error.
The oddity is that I tried setting up the HR20 to the CCK, tied into the Whole Home coax, and it worked initially. I didnt have to enter any password, but it worked for roughly an hour before we lost power thanks to the most recent winter storm. The following day when power was restored I was getting errors saying that the HR20 has 775 Cabling issues and was unable to find the SWM(As well as losing my DTV signal all together on that HR20 unit), despite when hittting the dash the SWIM was detected.
What am I missing here? I've moved the CCK back ot the HR34, done a hard reset on that unit, reset the modem/Router's, reset the SWM, and all receivers with the whole home connection. Removed my firewalls on the routers, and yet, the unit is still unable to identify the security Key.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

This new jem dreadnought will be great in pve with DHC, and will do somewhat ok in pvp using single cannons or beams, but its main failingin pvp is that a ship that turns that slow kind of needs more heals like a bortas has.
I've used a DHC based Recluse carrier for months, so i know how it works and what's the flaw of such a build. With such a ship you will be fine in STFs most of the times. But considering that PvE = STF is a major confusion.
My DHC recluse, in spite of tremendous hold & repel abilities with a sci cmdr boff, had difficulties with fast and mobile targets, and since the Borg content is now done, considering Cryptic doesn't plan to add more, we'll see various enemies and all of them have those damn frigates/escorts you can barely get in your firing arc. Don't even dream of CSV on such ships, even if it's a mandatory cannon skill in many fleetmark instances. Don't even dream of a meaningful APO III either.
To compete in these instances, i had to use all my piloting abilities, it was far from being perfect and efficient, and if it was hard for me i know most players won't be able to do it. Not that they are stupid but i see i'm a good player. No ship with a Cmdr boff should have such a small turnrate because it's not player-friendly at all and because it will be extremely frustrating to fly on the long run. It's not even a ship for good players, it's just terrible as it is and something no one should ever fly because of the awful but expectable outcome.

Meet DPS District 3 candidates Mike Johnson and Meg Schomp
This week's cover story, "Drawing the Line," delves into the Denver Public Schools Board of Education election -- possibly the most important political race you're not paying attention to. More photos below.
The future direction of DPS is at stake, with about half of the nine candidates in favor of continuing the district's aggressive brand of reform and the other half looking to try something different.
We spoke with all nine candidates and will post our interviews on the Latest Word. Today: the District 3 race.
On Thursday, we published interviews with Michael Kiley, Barbara O'Brien and Joan Poston, who are running for the At-Large seat. And on Friday, we followed up by speaking with Rosario C. de Baca and Rosemary Rodriguez, who are vying to fill the District 2 seat.
In District 3, which covers central Denver, two candidates -- Mike Johnson and Meg Schomp -- are running for the seat currently held by Jeannie Kaplan, who is term-limited.
In all, four seats are up for grabs on the seven-member DPS board, which is known for being dysfunctional and divided. If the candidates who back the "reform" movement sweep the election and maintain or increase the board's 4-to-3 pro-reform majority, it will be a win for strategies such as closing and replacing failing schools, encouraging charter and innovation schools and tying teacher evaluations to student test scores.
If not, it will signal that Denver voters have lost confidence in those tactics and want to head in a new direction, one that isn't so quick to label schools as failing, invests more money into neighborhood schools and uses test data in a less punitive way.
Here are our interviews with the District 3 candidates, in alphabetical order. Tomorrow, we'll publish our last round of interviews, with the candidates running in District 4.
- Age: 62
- Government finance lawyer, previously represented DPS
- Three daughters, one of whom graduated from Denver School of the Arts and two of whom, ages seventeen and fourteen, currently attend school there
- Website: mikejohnsonfordenverkids.com
Johnson's involvement with DPS began in 1998, when he was hired as the district's finance attorney. That same year, his oldest daughter started elementary school. Even though a majority of his friends sent their kids to private schools or schools in the suburbs, Johnson and his wife decided to commit to DPS.
"We wanted to stay in Denver," he says. "We wanted the diversity the Denver Public Schools provide." However, he says, they quickly realized that in order to ensure that their kids were getting a quality education, he and his wife had to pay close attention. At Steck Elementary, they were part of a group of parents who successfully lobbied to replace the principal. At Denver School of the Arts, Johnson served on the collaborative school committee, where he helped boost the school's academic program.
As DPS's finance attorney, Johnson helped write several ballot questions that he says resulted in $111 million more per year in the DPS budget from mill-levy overrides and $1.2 billion spent on school infrastructure through bonds. He was also involved in the district's complicated 2008 pension-financing deal, which has been criticized for being financially risky.
But Johnson says it wasn't his job to advise the district about whether the deal was smart. "I was the lawyer; I wasn't the financial person," he says. "They never asked my opinion about whether they should have done it. Frankly, if I would have been a boardmember, I'm not sure I would have voted for the transaction."Facebook Mike Johnson and his family in a photo from his campaign's Facebook page.
Johnson ended his contract with DPS in May. "By putting me on the school board, the district gets an incredible amount of free experience," he jokes.
Johnson thinks DPS is headed in the right direction but isn't improving fast enough. He's a fan of charter and innovation schools, and he'd like all schools, including traditional ones, to have more autonomy when it comes to decisions such as the length of the school year and how much to pay teachers. (He thinks they should be paid more.) "We can't continue to do what we've been doing and expect to have different results," he says.
Johnson has several ideas, including splitting the job of principal into two positions -- one that oversees academics and another that oversees business matters. He'd also like teachers to be more involved in making academic decisions and has considered the possibility of a "teachers' council" to vet the administration's ideas.
He isn't afraid of making big changes to improve low-performing schools, though he believes incremental changes should be tried first. Ultimately, Johnson says, the board is accountable to the kids, not to parents who may be resistant to turnaround. "The school doesn't serve a static group of parents or a static group of students," he says. "You have to think a little more broadly than just the opinions of the current parents."
Continue for our interview with Meg Schomp.

More reviews by littlemisssweetandpetite
i swear by this mascara. i will never use a another mascara in my life. makes my lashes super long, doesn't clump at alllll, small brush allows me to get even my innermost and outermost lashes. highly recommended!
I like this mascara... it's my favorite of the many that I've tried (I tend to stick to drugstore brands). As a make-up wearer, I'm less concerned with having "falsie"-style ultra thick lashes, and more concerned with avoiding gross clumps and looking overdone. I find that this mascara is perfect for darkening my lashes and defining my eyes: it goes on smooth and separates my lashes well. And the waterproof formula works: I often hit the gym for some intense cardio at the end of the day (yay stress relief!), and this stuff never runs, even when I'm sweating like crazy. I will continue to buy this mascara until I read a convincing review pointing to a new product worth trying!

Not as good as I thought it would be. I bought this based on the rec of a friend.
It does lengthen and "discovery lashes" but for me it ONLY worked on my lower lashes. What use is that? Seriously, I'm not going to buy a separate mascara just for my lower lashes. It smudged during application. I couldn't get it to stick to my upper lashes. I could see that it would take a very long time to apply. It was very wimpy.
I'm asian with single eyelids, with regular length eyelashes, but it's difficult to find a good mascara to coat them all. This wand is small and perfect for getting those lashes that are hard to get to for me. Larger brushes tend to miss some lashes cuz I'm afraid of getting it in my eye, but this mini-brush does the trick. The formula doesn't clump. It doesn't do anything for curling or length, but it does bring out the fact that I DO have lashes hidden under my eyes lol!
It doesn't flake and washes off easily at the end of the day. It's also great for your lower lashes.

I use this mascara only for my lower lashes. I don't want them to be super noticeable, but I do want definition. This mascara really does 'discover' lashes. Great buy for the lower lashes.
This is okay. It does give a more naturally look than other mascara's that I have tried. Because the brush is so small, it really does "discover" all your lashes. I regret buying waterproof because taking it off is a huge hassle. I find that I have to put on multiple coats to get some sort of volume.
I love trying new products and buy new mascaras somewhat often, but I ALWAYS come back to this one. For my fine, light brown lashes, this formula works wonders. I curl my eyelashes and put on several coats, and it never smears, clumps, and gives me a perfect lash look with volume and length. I can also build it up to any amount I want, depending on the drama I'm going for. Love it.

I bought this product when it was marked down a lot so I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't expect much from it but I absolutely love it. It's so affordable and it is able to make my lashes stand out more. I love how the brush is so small that it can go to areas where a big brush normally can't go to.

Why o why has this been discontinued in Australia!!
This is the best waterproof mascara I have ever used. I have long blond lashes and it highlights them perfectly without smudging, running or flaking off.
Its a shame that I didnt buy a pile of them...

Skin Care products
0Apr 26, '04 by TELEpathicRNI am a unit mgr of a 58 bed LTC floor. I am just curious what everyone is using for Stage I's, moisture barriers, and incontenence products. We currently use constant care for mositure barrier and zinc oxide on reddened areas. All input will be appreciated. Thanks!

But I have seen milgard also used with good effect. You know the cream they use for babies bottoms.
One unit (ICU) I worked in was a combined Paed/Adult ICU so we got used to using the Milgard instead of soap and water - squirt a little milgard on the wipe and use that instead - had THE lowest incidence of skin breakdown of virtually any unit I have worked in.

Bieber accused of animal cruelty
Comment on this storyLondon - Justin Bieber has been accused of animal cruelty by the California Hamster Association.
The 'Boyfriend' singer recently gave away his pet rodent PAC to a frenzied fan during his performance at the Atlanta Jingle Ball show and while the creature has been pictured looking happy with his new owner, the hamsters rights group are not impressed.
They told gossip website TMZ that hamsters should be treated delicately and "often succumb quickly to illness and death" especially when faced with "sudden environmental change".
The CHA added: "The moment that hamster was handed off to a screaming girl in a harsh, frenzied environment was likely the moment it gazed at the short path to its doom."
The group said that if Justin no longer wanted PAC, he should have given the furry pet to an animal shelter or a rescue centre so they could have given him a new owner in a safe manner.
Although Justin has not commented on the situation, PAC has his own Twitter account, which assures everyone he is doing fine.
The tweet read: "Please don't hate on my new owner. She's taking really good care of me! :) (sic)" - Bang Showbiz

For reference - I have dehydrated skin, eczema, and am sensitive to scents. I use the HoG pumpkin butter in aether (no scent).
Pumpkin butter as moisturizing as any body butter I've used but without the greasy feeling. It absorbs quickly (I can use this on my hands and then go on to use my phone in a minute without any telltale lotion marks) and does not leave any perceptible film on my skin. It deserves every single rave it has ever received and with this I can disguise myself not only as a normal human but a well-moisturized one at that. I definitely smell a (somewhat cloyingly) sweet pumpkin scent upon application which fortunately fades so I can't smell it unless my nose is about 3" away.

Mark my words...once you go "Gloi" you never ever go back!! Excuse the bad pun;-)
Recently, I've been getting into indie perfume oils and Haus of Gloi was a brand I stumbled upon while browsing the Reddit beauty boards. Their products are Vegan and the packaging has a unique gothic/apothecary aesthetic that's adorable! Currently, they sell their wide variety of butters, oils, scrubs, and soaps online at their website and turn-around-time is 5-7 days before they ship your order because everything is handmade.
I think I'm in love and slightly obsessed since I placed my first order a month ago! My wallet really hates me right now and I'm already planning my next order when their fall scents come out! The pumpkin butter imo truly steals the show and is an HG product for me. My skin is very sensitive and I tend to avoid fragranced lotions because they break my body out in acne or make me itchy. This is the first brand that hasn't irritated my skin at all and the ingredients truly soften and improve your skin over time, instead of drying it out like conventional brands do.
The scents I have tried (so far) are
Komodo- Summer LE (dragon's blood, mangosteen, and tropical blooms) This one is very strong and reminds me of a tropical breeze and incense. It makes a statement.
Beguiled- Summer LE (buttermilk lemon cake with raspberry coulis and pink peppercorn) My favorite cuz it smells like the yummiest bakery in town!
I love both scents that I chose and have tried a bunch of other fragrances they offer in oil and scrub form, but the pumpkin butters are truly superior. If you are looking for a indie, small business that offers completely unique scent experiences then try HoG, you are going to love it and they specialize in seasonal scents, which means there is always something new to try---before they sell out!

I've finished up a small pot of Imp. Not too fond of the scent, the texture is pretty thick, a little greasy. Very moisturizing, the scent quite strong and lingering. I have very dry skin and do like this.
Currently using Satyr, love love the scent. It's a mix of orange and vanilla, something warm and comforting. I'm trying vice next because I love the scent if chocolate.

I really liked this product. It's thick and moisturizing but won't leave your skin feeling greasy. Thick creams usually sit on my skin while this sinks right in. I use this for any dry or rough spots and around my eyes. I have KP on my arms and this has definitely helped although it's not a miracle product. Just a very good moisturizer! I have the unscented version, Aether.
On another note, I used this for shaving my legs in the shower and the pumpkin butter works like a charm for this, too! It's slick enough but won't wash off straight away with the water. So if you have very dry skin, I'd imagine you could use this as a conditioning shower product as well as shaving. I'll definitely repurchase but unfortunately they sometimes seem not to have the unscented version on sale - big minus! :(

Haus of Gloi is a fairly recent indie brand I've tried out, but I already know that I love their formulas and scents. I got their pumpkin butter to use as mainly for my legs - my legs tend to get very dry and itchy, especially overnight - and the consistency is perfect. It's a bit heaver than lotion, but nowhere near as thick and frosting-like as some body butters can get. The company is paradise for those into unusual scents, which evoke images of vintage apothecary with a side of gothic. For those who would prefer unscented, try Aether. In their body butter formula, I've tried: Lichti Milk Tea, Honeysuckle Lemon, Elevenses (orange cakes, sugar-coated almonds, black tea), and Satyr (blood orange, vanilla). For those who prefer lotion, I've tried both Moon Dog (coconut, sandalwood, nutmeg, clove) and Troika (almond, oat, coconut milk, agave nectar, clean white) - both of which are heavenly - in their body emulsion formula. As an addendum, I'd also highly recommend their sugar exfoliant in Absinthe. Nice products! They offer mini 2 oz. sizes, which are great for a trial.

More reviews by makeupmistress666
This one of my favorite lotions. It is not as thick as body butter, but not as thin as lotion. Regular lotion tends to be too thin and not moisturizing enough for my taste, so when body butter is too heavy for me, I reach for this. I have repurchased a few times in a variety of scents. They come in 6oz and 2oz screw-top jars with safety seals. The full size jars are ten dollars. Haus of Gloi is a small indie vegan company, so anything you buy from them will be cruelty-free. Their labels are intricate and I like the aesthetic of this company. I wish they had more foody/sweeter scents and that they were a little cheaper, but I understand that the pricing is because they are handmade and it is a small company. I recommend this product and company.
I just received it in the mail yesterday and tried it on today, so I thought that I would give this a review soon. :)
I bought this in the two ounce version of Aether, which is the unscented formula, because I had run out of unscented lotion and couldn't wear any perfume for a while. The pumpkin butter is artfully packaged in a small jar and is convenient to carry around and open.
The pumpkin butter isn't as thick as I expected it to be upon application. It melts softly into your skin, leaving it silky and smooth and I love the way my legs feel at the moment. Although the jar is unscented and I detect no smell in the bottle, my skin smells oddly sweet, maybe because of the shea butter. Thankfully, the scent fades away after a while.
I will use it more often and update on how long the jar lasts, because I feel like this is too soon to be writing a review.
However, I really like this lotion and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try something new from an interesting indie company.

I bought the pumpkin butter and sugar scrub is Twice Is Nice and boy do I love them! The scent is amazing and works really well with my body chemistry, it also is pretty lasting so when I use this I can skip perfume. I've gotten a few "You smell nice what is it that you're using?!". The pumpkin butter is amazing, I have extremely dry hands and I've tried so many hands cream ranging from cheap to really expensive and nothing has worked, using the pumpkin butter my hands instantly felt and look better now I use this everywhere and a little bit definitely goes a long way. I love that the pumpkin butter works so well that I don't have to slather it on all day, every single day, when I notice something getting dry I can put a little on and it stays nice and soft forever! Their sugar scrub is equally amazing, the texture is very smooth and glides over your skin. It's not crumbly and hard to use like most sugar scrubs I've used and a little bit of this actually goes a long way as well, and it leaves me so soft and moisturized, after using this just once I noticed my dry patches were eradicated. Another awesome thing is that they refunded me the shipping difference, I was charged $8 for shipping but when shipping only cost $4 they sent the difference back to me which I thought was pretty awesome! Their turn around time is also something awesome, most Indie companies have a long wait time till they can ship out their products because they are usually just one or two people. I received my package in like 5 days, the same amount of time it takes for a large company to get something to me. I can't wait to try their other scents and products, I highly recommend this company!

I learned about Haus of Gloi through my random scrolling through MUA boards and bought a bunch of samples with my first available paycheck. I got the pumpkin butter in Troika (just because everyone's all, Troika Troika Troika). Although I didn't like the particular smell that I chose, I will definitely be repurchasing this due to how well it works (probably in madcap garden, aether, and a foody one like vice or depravity). Just like other reviews have said, this goes on thick and actually sinks into your skin. Mine was glowing even after I rubbed it in and it still feels heavenly-soft to the touch, smooth but not greasy. I found the body emulsion greasy initially but then I worked it into my skin more and the greasy feeling disappeared-but I still prefer the pumpkin butter for going into the skin. It actually feels like the butter went into each little skin cell and plumped it up :). I highly recommend trying out the Haus. Once you find a scent you love, you can get the pumpkin butter to match and walk around cockily knowing that no one around (or very few people around) smell as uniquely and cruelty-freely good as you. How fucking great is that?
More about Troika: The smell was predominantly almond over the coconut and oat and eventually went marzipan to my nose, but I've never been an almond fan, so if you are, it should satisfy you with its almond-ness. I checked out dozens (or as many as I could) of HoG reviews before I made my selection, so I definitely recommend perusing the internet/MUA to get a sense of the different scents before making your order. Try at least three different kinds!
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Scent descriptors that keep coming back to my nose is warmth, wood, earth and citrus, sharp. If those descriptors do it for you, HoG will float your boat. I'll keep updating the review as I try additional scents. My nose: I like spa scents like Cocoa Pink's Green Tea & Mint or Caudalie's Divine Oil, food scents like JR Watkins Lemon Cream and Philosophy Cinnamon Buns, clean scents like Philosophy Pure Grace, Jo Malone's Wild Bluebell & Blackberry and Bay, and warm soft scents like Cocoa Pink's Sigh and marshmallow-y things.
* Liked/enjoyed, no reorder (ie. especially fruity, candy)
** Going to try again in a different format, ie. scent in soft bubbles scrub may be different than lotion
*** Would reorder

***Parkin – warm, winter spices with a bite. I feel like I'm in England by the fireside, waiting for a warm treat.
Plotter's Breakfast - incense sticks, sort of like the Chinese temple ones except less sweetness
Pumpkin Queen - pumpkin spice candle
*Beguiled – frosted lemon fruit loop cereal, a warmer scent then JR Watkins Lemon Cream (at Target, lemon sandwich cookie) but I would purchase the JR over this to save some $
*Sanctum – someone's opinion was watermelon Jolly Rancher, totally
*The Brier Path – earthy but softened by some powdery notes
White Raspberry – medicinal, reminded me of cherry almond amaretto
Zazz -- frozen fruit punch juice concentrate, melting and starting to turn off on a hot sidewalk

Ploughman – earth in an off way, smelled unhealthy
Selkie – this brings me some image of blue water, sand, and clean linens blowing in the breeze

Odette - clean, fresh laundry detergent.
Something Hopeful - muted and sweet, laundry dryer sheets.
*Tonic #1 - Mojito on ice and a small fizz of lemon lime Sprite
Tonic #3 – Ginger spicy and dry grass scent.
Who Needs Love – Like those candied chocolate covered cherries nestled in their syrup but replace with raspberries and add an adult perfumey note.
***A SIMPLE ROSE >Butterbomb, like you are surrounded by a multitude of fresh cut roses!
Coconut BonBon - smells artificially of white choc and coconut
Salty Caramel - incense and candle-y
Absinthe - lemony version of Picaroon
Apothecary - strong cedar and lemongrass. Almost bitter.
Eleveneses - sweet baked goods that is fermenting and spoiling, not to say that's bad. Like walking past a hot dumpster in AZ with baked items cooking in there.
Depravity - going into cool cellars of stored wine at a Napa, woody fermenting red wine scent.
*Haus Amber - surprisingly liked this, musky and almost masculine (it clicked when I passed a guy at work that smelled just like this, then my love died a little for it)
Honeysuckle Lemon Curd - sharp, lemony & honey
Honey Tree – perfumey, floral honey
Imp – reminds me of BBW fruity scents and a little floral of Pier One
Insalata Nocturna - tangy herbal and earth
Peach Mama – could not smell anything else but whiffs of patchouli (not a fan)
Satyr - artificial deep orange scent
Lavender Sugar – very herbal medicinal, nice in a scrub but overpowering as a lotion
Litchi Milk Tea - Pier1 store
Madcap Garden, Moon Dog - forgot
Picaroon - tangy and limely, not soft if that's what you look for
Twice Is Nice – almond and warm sugar cookie (perfume oil), disliked lotion (smelled like honey and milk)
Troika - sweet, almond extract and milk
**Vice - chocolate and coffee, acrid dry down in lotion, will try soap or scrub for an invigorating shower

I live in a 110-year-old row house. The shared walls on either side are plaster. The sound insulation provided by the shared plaster walls is terrible. I have read that plaster is supposed to be more sound-proof than drywall, but that's not my experience here. You can hear normal speaking voices through the walls. I can just about follow along with my neighbors' conversations on one side in particular, though they are not being particularly loud. The other side is a bit better, which may be due to different wall construction on the interior of that neighbor's house.
My master bedroom spans the width of the house and thus shares a plaster wall with the neighbors on both sides, and like I say, on one side in particular you can hear normal speaking voices. I want to leave the plaster in place and screw 1x3 furring strips where the studs are, and then screw two layers of drywall to the furring strips. I will also take additional soundproofing measures like Green Glue between the drywall layers and caulk around the edges, etc. I'll lose a couple inches on either side of the room, but I'm fine with that. For starters, though, I have to find the studs, and I am starting to think there are none. I have put 2 1/2 inch drywall screws all over the place in the wall trying to find them, starting with logical places like 16 inches from the corner. There are indeed some places where the screws grab pretty strongly, but there is certainly not as much resistance when I'm turning the screws as there would be with studs. In some places I find reddish dust in the walls all the way to the surface of the plaster. In some places my screws hit some kind of hard masonry product about an inch deep and won't go any further. In some places it's grey-white plaster all the way through.
The good news is that the plaster wall appears to be very strong -- strong enough that I would almost consider gluing and screwing the furring strips wherever the screws seem to hold well. I can hang a 2-gallon can of primer from one of the screws and it doesn't budge, and I definitely cannot pull the screws out with my hands. That said, I'd certainly prefer to find studs. Any guesses as to what's going on inside these walls? The thought crossed my mind that the red dust is rotten wood, but it doesn't appear that way to me. It's almost clay-like, but dry. It's very fine dust and very uniform. Downstairs, I opened up one of the original interior walls and can see full 2x4 studs, 16 inches on center, along with the old lathe that was left inside the newer drywall. So I expected to find studs in the exterior (shared) walls as well. Wrong assumption? Thanks for reading my long post : ) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Try an electronic stud finder first. IMHO the best approach is to remove the plaster so you can seal the back of the outlet boxes and the perimeter framing at the other side of the wall (if it is really a stud wall) then fill the cavity with insulation and then install resilient channels and two layers of 5/8" type X gypsum board to provide a 2-hour fire resistance rating between the properties. If you seal the edges of the perimeter framing before installing the drywall you should nave a very sound resistant wall. The red stuff might be hollow structural clay tile used for fire separations 100 years ago. An alternative is to use molly bolts to secure strapping or resilient channels to the existing plaster surface. I prefer the IsoMax system. This approach also avoids modifying a fire rated wall which would require a building permit. Materials like QuietRock and Green Glue are intended to achieve an improvement in sound isolation in the thinnest possible space. If you can give up an additional 2 inches of space the resilient mounted channel system will provide better results. |
If there is any type of masonry in the wall is was very common to apply the plaster directly to the masonry. Special blocks with a square keying surface were used. I wouyld not be surprised at all for a 110 year old row house to have plaster directly on masonry. Plaster has excellent sound isolation when it is on wooden studs. You may need to simply build a wall just inside the existing plaster wall, and then consider isolation mounting of the drywall, along with some sound absorbing fiberglass fill. |

I have a little Black & Decker stud finder. It does OK on drywall, but not great. It does worse on the plaster, but that may be because there are no studs in there. I think it's quite likely, as brickeyee suggests, that the plaster is directly on the masonry and there is some kind of raised surface in places -- the square keying surface -- and this is what is stopping some of my screws. The reddish stuff could be some kind of patch applied long ago -- who knows. Or some weird chemical reaction. I don't want to give up 4+ inches on either side of the room, and the plaster seems very strong, so I'm now inclined to glue & screw furring strips to the plaster and then add two layers of drywall as I described. This is not going to eliminate all sound and won't allow me to blast a home theatre system or anything like that, but should be adequate for privacy. I'll be able to dig the outlet boxes out and insulate behind those. As for removing the plaster, it's not clear how much space that would net me, since those square keys seem to be only about an inch deep in the plaster. Though perhaps I could work around those with framing so they wouldn't be a factor. Another consideration is that I don't want to cause too much disruption through this process to the neighbors, so that also dissuades me from breaking off the plaster. Thanks to both of you for your replies. |
"I don't want to give up 4+ inches on either side of the room..." There is no requirement to build a full thickness wall. Steel studs turned on the flat work well, and you would only give up ~1.5 inches (they need to be barely clear of the old wall surface) plus drywall layers. |
I've lived in and owned a number of 19th Century homes built roughly the same way--plaster directly on masonry party walls. Trying to stop the sound transfer with drywall on resilient channel was never very successful. That's because there are so many flanking pathways for sound to travel through, particularly common attics, crawlspaces and sub-floor planking Plus, researchers have commented that just one misplaced screw can short-circuit the whole system. I've used Quiet Rock to good effect, but it is very costly in small quantities. Green Glue has similar tested results, but I have no experience with it. (I've found growing old helps, as your hearing diminishes. And if you're "lucky" enough to get tinnitus along with it, you're always so awash in a sea of noise emanating from your own head that the neighbours hardly matter.) |
The hollow structural clay tile I mentioned was a red brick-like/terra cotta material with grooves on its face for the direct application of plaster or stucco. Entire houses were constructed of it instead of wood studs. I suspect in your case it might have been used by itself for a fire resistant party wall or as an infill material between bearing studs. Natco was the major producer in the US. |

latest thought is to rough up the plaster with sandpaper and use liquid nails to glue the furring strips to the wall, without screws. liquid nails doesn't dry hard so I would think it would not be great at conducting sound. That, in combination with the Green Glue between the drywall layers, should suffice, if I caulk everything well. Yes some sound will go up through their ceiling and down through mine, and a little bit from below the floor, perhaps, but not much. I'll get short enough screws so they don't go through to the plaster. I'm going to seat the bottom course of drywall in a strip of foam pipe insulation and then cut the excess. That should also take a little weight off the wall. |

re: Natco, I think there's a good chance that's what it is, or a similar product. |
Why not green glue the drywall to the existing plaster? Try a sample first. |
- Posted by arnold4321 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 3, 10 at 8:19
I don't think Green Glue is intended to be used as an adhesive in place of screws, despite the name. |
Green Glue application. |
- Posted by arnold4321 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 3, 10 at 11:56
yes, the sheets must be screwed down because the compression spreads the Green Glue thin. "Drywall sheets must be screwed together while the material is still wet." |
You may have old gypsum Pyrobar block, or could be black iron with a stretched metal lath between the upright iron. In either of those scenarios case there's no studs. Very common in NYC (not sure where you are). At this point, you could laminate 5/8" drywall and Green Glue as suggested. Also seal the outlets. |

I wanted to report that the addition of furring strips plus two layers of drywall with green glue between the layers did not have any effect. The approach does not work, since all I achieved was addition of a relatively small amount of mass to an already massive wall. More likely what I needed was to create a larger air cavity by using studs rather than furring strips (along with insulation in the cavity). I erred in thinking that the green glue product would help make up for the lack of a larger air cavity, but it definitely did not. For much, much more detail about my (failed) project, see this thread: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1299436 |
You need to decouple the new wall form the old surface completely. Steel studs turned flat and held off the wall, along with sound absorbing fiberglass and 5/8 drywall will go a long way. Part of the problem with solving problems like this is that you generally need to overdo things since going back later when a fix is not adequate more than doubles the work. The sound insulation will help with sneak paths through the existing wall, and decoupling so the new heavy surface is not attached to the wall (floor and ceiling only) also helps. You are likely to have to pull electrical boxes forward into the new wall. |

The News Section reminded me . . . when we were there Jan 20-27, we watched some serious work being done to the pilings and erosion barrier along the passageway into Bay Lake from the Ft. Wilderness side. Towards the end of the week, a guest asked one of the crew about the work, and he described a very involved process of driving some very thick and very deep posts so that they can seriously reinforce the retaining wall for some development yet to come to that side of the Contemporary.
I didn't think much of it at the time, but it seems to suggest that Jeff's rumor could have something to it!

Quinnipiac University School Of Business Inducts Tim Gannon And Donald Torey Into Its Business Leader Hall Of Fame
HAMDEN, Conn., Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Quinnipiac University School of Business inducted Tim Gannon, co-founder of Outback Steakhouse, Inc., and Donald Torey, president of alternative assets and director of GE Asset Management Inc., into its Business Leader Hall of Fame during a black-tie dinner ceremony Nov. 16 at the Metropolitan Club in New York City.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121120/DC16932)
"The Quinnipiac University School of Business is proud to honor Tim Gannon and Donald Torey as the 2012 inductees into our Business Leader Hall of Fame," said Matthew L. O'Connor , dean of the School of Business and the master of ceremonies at the 10 th annual induction dinner. "The Hall of Fame honors men and women who exemplify the leadership qualities, business acumen and values that we seek to instill in our students."
Before Gannon and Torey addressed the audience of more than 200, O'Connor introduced a video that profiled their professional and personal accomplishments. It was evident from each video that in addition to being outstanding businessmen, Gannon and Torey are strong believers in community service.
Torey, of Darien, is on the board of the Stamford Boys and Girls Club and buildOn, a youth engagement organization that emphasizes local community service and builds schools in impoverished areas, including South America and Africa. "On behalf of GE Company, including Quinnipiac graduate Dave Rusate who helped to represent our company at the event, we congratulate Tim Gannon along with Quinnipiac University's Outstanding Alumni and Emerging Leader Awardees," Torey said. "It's an honor to be recognized as part of this distinguished group of individuals and to take part in a celebration of their accomplishments." In 2011, Gannon, of Palm Beach, Fla., launched Kettle Comfort, Cooking for America, a West Palm Beach, Fla. philanthropic initiative which delivers chef-inspired food to thousands of hungry and nutrition-deprived people daily. "I am thrilled to be inducted into the Business Leader Hall of Fame," Gannon said. "I know and have great respect for the people who are giving me this very prestigious honor, and I am very respectful of those colleagues who have received it in the past."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I live in Norman, OK. Do I dare try to grow Dahlias from seed for my wedding (in July)? I only need a few for bouquet and 12 centerpieces...Any suggestions? THANKS! |
Follow-Up Postings:
don't know your climate, whether Dahlias like it. July could be somewhat too early, I plant mine mid- late May, in July they just about start flowering (need to check my fotografs) apart from that: you would`t bother with seedling Dahlias, as they are of mixed parentage and will show all kind of different colors. The Dahlia seeds sold in garden centers are often from short ones (perhaps additional filler flowers) but nothing really amazing. Do you know what kind of colors you need/ want? I would decide on the colors, then pick some named cultivars. quantity is tricky, you could ask on the cut flower forum about quantities, lots of people selling theirs on the market so they could give you a better guess/ calculation. did you grow Dahlias before? Well, best of luck, bye, Lin |
- Posted by CCvacation none (My Page) on Fri, Jan 17, 14 at 0:10
I am in zone 5/6 Pennsylvania, and the earliest I've gotten dahlias that we're suitable for cutting was July 15... But that was also starting them from tubers mid-march so they were 12-18 inches tall before setting them out. Even so, most of mine were blooming mid August. Remember, if you are thinking of purchasing tubers, that typically the larger the flower, the later the bloom. The vendor Lin mentioned also sends dahlias all over the US at decent rates. If you choose to try growing your own dahlias,that is great! You'll have lots of fun learning about them! BUT have a backup plan in case that cute bunny over in the neighbor's yard comes over for a dahlia snack before the plants can fend for themselves! Best of luck! |
