Thank you for keeping this fun time going! I am really enjoying every one's photos and look forward to each letter! I just wish we had a little more time in between letters! I sometimes don't get out very often and am stuck coming up with all from around the house, but I guess that just forces me to think more! LOL!!

Follow-Up Postings:
Maybe i should change letters once a week instead of every two days. Let me know what you all think... |
I think once a week would be good. |
A weekly list would be fine with me if it suits everyone else. I've been using archived photos and it might be fun to have more time to get out and get photos. Thanks! Pam |
Weekly is good...but people should feel free to add to the existing letters at any time. Just because we are on letter F does not mean you cannot add to B. I have enjoyed everyones photos. |

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — A Springfield man is heading to jail for selling crack cocaine.
William Aviles, 36, pleaded guilty Thursday in White River Junction criminal court to a felony count of cocaine sales. He was sentenced to two to four years in jail. The judge also recommended that Aviles participate in the state Department of Corrections' work camp program which could result in less time behind bars.
In May, police said a confidential informant told them about buying drugs from Aviles "for numerous years" and offered to cooperate.
Court records stated that on two occasions that month detectives watched as the informant went to Aviles' home. The informant met Aviles at his door and then they walked to Aviles' garage. Each time the informant purchased two grams of crack cocaine rocks at a price of $100 per gram, according to court records.
Aviles was arraigned on the felony sail of cocaine charge in June.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermonts state auditor is asking lawmakers to beef up the information consumers can...

How France views Lance Armstrong fall from grace
In France, some say Lance Armstrong epitomized 'impunity' and represented a 'generation of cheats.' They hope the stain of doping in Tour de France will end.
(AP Photo/Christophe Ena, File)
As news broke that Lance Armstrong is to be stripped of his Tour de France titles for doping, there was more than a whiff of Schadenfreude in the home of the Tour de France, the epic race the Texan dominated for nearly a decade.
French cycling veterans lamented the stain on the world's most famous bike race, but the newspapers felt justice was finally being done and online commentators asked whether France might now see more of its cyclists on the podium.
"Armstrong personified impunity. He was seen as too well protected to fall. So the big message today is that impunity is over," said Damien Ressiot, a sports reporter who published the first doping allegations against Armstrong in the sporting daily L'Equipe seven years ago to the day.
"What is a shame is that by saying he accepts the decision, Armstrong will avoid a public debate so we'll never know exactly what happened and how he was able to cheat for so long."
IN PICTURES: Lance Armstrong's career in cycling
Beating testicular cancer to win the Tour an unprecedented seven times, Armstrong, clad in the leader's yellow jersey, came close to personifying the race from 1999 until his retirement last year, popularising it with millions of Americans.
He also became an inspiration for those diagnosed with cancer worldwide.
On Thursday, Armstrong dropped his fight against doping charges, and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said he would be stripped of his titles and banned from competitive cycling.

Version 1.62 reviewed by Bob Starrett - 04/07/00 There are lots of ripping programs available today and they have a wide range of functionality. Perhaps the most comprehensive, however is AudioGrabber. Don't be scared off by some of the advanced options that show up in the General Settings menu. The defaults will work just fine, but you do have a very sophisticated and powerful tool on your hands once you have downloaded and installed AudioGrabber. There are lots of programs like this around, but none is as powerful and complete as AudioGrabber. It does all the standard stuff, rips from CD, compresses to mp3, but it also does a whole lot more. AudioGrabber can also compress to Microsoft's WMA format. It has a line-in function for recording from analog sources, and you can choose your favorite external mp3 player as the program's default.
When you insert a CD, AudioGrabber can immediately go to CDDB and pull down the artist name, album name and song titles. To rip tracks, simply click the boxes next to the songs you want to extract and off you go. By setting the codec to be used in the mp3 setting screen, you can easily change to mp3, WMA or WAV as the destination format. WAVs can be ripped from 22,050 8 kBit/s mono to full CD quality 44,100 16 kBit/s stereo. Mp3s range from 32 kBit/s 44,100 mono to 320 kBit/s Joint Stereo using the optional Lame encoder which can be easily downloaded from the AudioGrabber web site. The Lame encoder is recommended, as the built in Fraunhofer encoding only has 8 kBit/s 11,025 mono to 56 kBit/s 22,050 stereo encoding. WMA files can be encoded from 5 kBit/s 8,000 mono to 160 kBit/s 44,100 stereo. Digital Audio Extraction (DAE) has traditionally been problematic on many CD-ROM drives and on some CD recorders. AudioGrabber addresses this by allowing you to try ripping with either ASPI or MSCDEX. You can also set the rip offset for troublesome drives and add leading and trailing silence to the tracks you rip. You can easily set normalization through either beginning or advanced menus. You can choose among several CD-ROM drives or recorders if you have more than one and you can set the rip method and speed manually or use the detect feature to set it automatically. AudioGrabber installs no DLLs OCXs, device drivers, registry entries or anything else except itself in a single directory. That's clean programming. The program changes languages on the fly and can be used in English, German, Spanish, French and Italian. Nineteen additional language files are available for download from the AudioGrabber site. You can even make your own language file for the program. As far as performance goes, a 3 minute song ripped directly to 128 kBit/s stereo mp3 took 46 seconds from a TDK 8/4/32 recorder. For pure ripping speed, directly to WAV files, AudioGrabber screams, coming in at 13 seconds for a 3 minute WAV file from CD, equaling the speedy TDK CD Blender software which also took a mere 13 seconds to pull the file. With its big bright menu buttons, fast ripping and encoding speed, available plugins and many program options, AudioGrabber is about as good as you can get for ripping and encoding software. While novices may be put off by some of the more arcane options, and as recorder and drive technology improves to the point where some of the options may no longer be necessary for clean, fast audio extraction, it is nice to have everything you could need right there…..just in case.

LUKE GEORGE and Brett Kearney each bagged try doubles as Bradford Bulls displayed a never-say-die attitude, despite going down to Huddersfield Giants.
The defeat sees James Lowes' side relegated from First:Utility Super League – but the Bulls boss could not fault the effort of his battling side.
George's first score saw Bradford hit the front inside six minutes at the John Smith's Stadium.
But hosts Huddersfield battled back to ensure a 10-point interval advantage.
Lowes' Bulls began the second half as they did the first, with Kearney opening his account almost immediately after the restart.
But it wasn't to be for the men in red, amber and black as a raft of late Giants tries ensured Huddersfield's 52-26 success.

About Susan Gahr
Ranching & rural living, ranch folks, cattle & cowboys. Cowgirls, Ranches, western artwork. Cowgirl fine art & prints, Cowboy art, ranch art, American cowgirl, ranch artwork, life on the ranch. The Cowboy world pretty much has always overshadowed the softer side of this life, the wife who is a quarenteed all American Western Cowgirl Artist. My artwork is a collection of my memories in acrylics, water colors & pencils.I have done some oils & photography, jewelry. We spent a great deal life working on ranches in Ariz.,Calif & Pecos,Texas. We worked cattle & the boys competed in high school rodeo.I drove the rig.
Rode colts,thanks to the help of my brother in law who put up with me. Cowboyed on some ranches & day worked. Love to paint cattle, horses, kids & colts.....i love it all from long haired little cowgirls to branding crews & shipping pens. I have friends from rodeo, to sale barns, bull riding cowgirls, & barrel racing fools.....they love it! The Great American cowboy/ranch life. We have lived on cow camps. It is a wonderful life.
Whatever pulls at my heart I love to put down on canvas.
I am a self taught artist for the most part. Just kinda fell into it, here & there,every now & then somebody would take pity on me,& lend a hand.
Gave me the opportunity to learn something.
But for the most part my artwork was kinda like my cowboying...something needed to get done. Wherever we would live, I would paint something go to town,hopefull to sell it. In Pecos, Tx. the Pecos Museum showcased my photography & art work in their gift shop & in the cowgirl room. They were wonderful to me.That was the beginning of me, getting more serious. Evidently I am a slow learner, & actually kinda scared to put my art work out there. For the most part we needed something to hang on the wall.
We have a cowgirl web store:www.cowboywifethangs.com started out as cowgirl jewelry & it keeps evolving. Cowgirl artwork on conchos, it just seems I cannot get away from the artwork.We got fashion pg.,cowgirl humor, I mean life is funny. We can't make this stuff up! Maybe,that is what artists do, their always in some state of flux.
We have always lived in little towns.Still do, actually all we have is a post office. We have moved alot in our life, met alot of wonderful people.Had a ball.No regrets. Texas has been good to us...we thank God for it.
I paint or draw what pulls at my heart, I love chalk, & pencils, watercolors, acrylics & oils, but cannot take the chemicals in oils anymore. Not that I do all things well, but I do want to get better. I paint my memories, Ya'll come on over anytime. we can sit on the porch & visit awhile. Happy trails, enjoy your ride!
just for your enjoyment......here is a link to range magazine!

I want to repot my Christmas cactus, currently in a six inch pot, but have heard how touchy they are and am nervous about it and looking for tips, especially what to avoid or be careful about. Also, currently the cactus grows low and forward and over the side of the pot and hangs down and I would like it to grow up and taller instead. Is there a way that this can be achieved in the repotting. Sentimental about this plant as cutting was given me years ago and don't want to hurt it. Thanks very much for any replies. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Christmas cactus (or any of the holiday cacti, for that matter) touchy??? Are we talking about the same plant(s)? I grow many Schlumbergera x buckleyi (Christmas Cactus) and Schlumbergera x truncata (Thanksgiving Cactus, often mistakenly called Christmas Cactus), and find them some of the easiest plants to grow that there is. Transplanting them should be very easy, and I doubt the process will even slow them down. True Christmas Cactus does tend to be more weeping than most other holiday cacti. I doubt you could change this to any degree by doing anything at transplant. One thing you could try is keeping new growth in check by pinching/removing new segments while keeping the older segments supported until they are more mature (firmer). I've used bamboo skewers for this purpose with decent results. Another thing that helps is selective pruning. Removal of the more weeping growth and keeping the more upright growth can lead to a more upright plant. Keep in mind that the plant's natural habit is weeping/low-growing, so you are fighting nature (an uphill climb) when trying to change that form significantly. |
In agreement with brandon...these plants aren't fussy at all, and don't throw a fit when being repotted. Just be sure that you use a coarse textured potting mix. Don't go crazy about potting it in a huge pot, and be sure that it has adequate drainage holes. Though these plants are succulents and don't need to be watered all that often, it is important that you give them a good drenching on watering day. Little sips result in hard, dry pockets on soil and a lot of dead roots. |

Just be sure that you use a coarse textured potting mix. ==>> that means.. if you want to buy a bag.. buy a cactus or orchid mix ... they tend to have big chunks of stuff to aerate the peat media ... and i agree with brandon.. its a floppy plant.. and the only way to get it tall.. is to grow it so successfully.. that the flops start mounding on top of each other.. to get some overall height ... your note made me go do mine ... as a fail safe.. i took the longest floppiest piece.. separated.. each segment.. and stuck them in another pot.. so just in case i fail ... i will have new rooting ... i wanted to use the same pot.. so i took it to the hose.. and sprayed off about 1/2 of the old soil.. and put it back in the same pot.. with the new soil at the bottom and around the sides ... ken |

Cricketers spend a huge amount of time away from home and England are just about to embark on their overseas trips as they head to Sri Lanka for the one-day series, which is followed by a long stay in Australia and New Zealand for the world and then a West Indies tour. That's many nights in the same dressing room and same hotels as each other. In the Daily Telegraph, the former England captain Michael Vaughan picks his ideal touring team - and the criteria are far from based on just runs and wickets
Mark Butcher: You need a musician on tour who can sit at the back of the bus and sing a song when you have been hammered in a day's play. It just releases the pressure on everyone. As a player Butch liked a fag and a drink. He loved a night out and I always thought he was in the wrong profession because cricket seemed to get in the way of his rock and roll lifestyle.
Remember Ash the pig? He was the one smuggled into the Gabba on a steaming summer's day during the last Ashes and later found to be dehydrated and in fairly sorry condition. Well, the update is that David Gunn, accused of smuggling him in wrapped in a blanket, his snout taped shut and ensconced in a baby harness, no longer faces charges of animal cruelty. The charges were reportedly dropped by Brisbane's prosecuting authorities because they couldn't prove that Gunn was the same person who'd smuggled in the pig. And Ash? Well, he was adopted soon after his ordeal and spent his recuperation eating liver and swimming in his own pool. He's now reported to be in good health.
In an extensive interview with BBC Sport, Joe Root and Gary Ballance reminisce about their early years in Yorkshire's cricket set-up and the time they spent as house-mates in a village called Idle. Root, a practical joker according to Ballance, recalls an incident involving Ryan Sidebottom and a sock that paid a quirky tribute to the legend of the Yorkshire Snipper.
Root grins knowingly, then adds: "The worst one was when I did it to (veteran fast bowler) Ryan Sidebottom after dropping two catches off him. At the end of the day's play he was sitting next to me in the dressing-room and was already absolutely furious.
"Then he got out of the shower, pulled his first sock on right up to the top of his thigh and just blew up. All the lads were trying not to look at him and laugh. I just knew I had to get out of there or I would be in a bit of pain."
In an article for Aeon magazine, David Papineau explores the idea of nature v nurture in cricket by comparing it with other sports and examines whether genetic qualities plays a bigger role in the development of cricketers than environment.
If environments matter more in cricket than in soccer, then this makes cricketing skills look less genetically heritable than footballing ones. In football, most of the differences come from genetic advantages just because there aren't many environmental differences (if you live in a soccer-mad nation, opportunities to play are everywhere). But in cricket, there would still be a wide range of abilities even if everybody had exactly the same genetic endowment, because only some children would get a proper chance to learn the game. In effect, environmental causes are doing a lot more to spread out the children in cricket than they are in football. To sum up, cricket runs in families precisely because the genetic heritability of cricket skills is relatively low.
Usain Bolt outhits Yuvraj Singh in a six-hitting competition. Yuvraj Singh outruns Usain Bolt in a 100m dash. Both share the honours in a bowl-out, hitting the stumps three times apiece.
That was just some of the 'action' witnessed by the fans who turned up to watch an exhibition match at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Tuesday. While some of it was clearly not authentic, the 6000-strong crowd present at the Puma event didn't seem to mind.
The highlight of the day, of course, was the match itself, a four-overs-per-team, seven-a-side affair. There were other big names on show too: Yuvraj's team included Zaheer Khan, while Bolt had Harbhajan Singh.
And it was a thriller: with 10 needed off two balls, Bolt hit a six off the penultimate ball - sent down by full-time keeper, part-time offspinner Aditya Tare - but missed the next one. In keeping with the entertainment-first theme, umpire Ajay Jadeja called no-ball, and Bolt duly smashed the final one for six more to finish 45 not out off 19 (both captains were allowed to bat through the innings, even if dismissed in between). Wonder if Royal Challengers' scouts were around?
Usain Bolt isn't a stranger to cricket. He played during his early years, did a number on Chris Gayle's stumps in a charity match in Jamaica in 2009 and almost turned out for Melbourne Stars during the 2012 Big Bash League. And he will be at it again when he squares up with Yuvraj Singh during an event at Bangalore's Chinnaswamy Stadium, on September 2.
Though Bolt's abilities on the open track are considerably more impressive, Gayle had a word of warning about Bolt the cricketer: "In a charity game he [Bolt] played against me, he almost knocked my head off with a good, competitive bouncer."
Bolt's trademark celebrations have been copied by cricketers, but here is a chance for catching the original one on a cricket field. Look out, Yuvraj.
Mr @usainbolt your comin al the way to India to challenge me to a faceoff Shud I be excited or should he be worried?#CatchBolt @PUMACricket

Chris Martin, the retired New Zealand pacer, has found his new calling. He is going into the grocery store business. He, with his family, moved from Christchurch to Palmerston North to take charge of a Four Square - a mini-market chain in New Zealand, which offers groceries, fresh produce, meat and drinks, all with "a friendly smile". Clients who visit this particular outlet, will probably be offered that smile by Martin himself, as he plans to be quite hands-on.
"[Wife] Jane and I were quite keen to have our own business," Martin said, according to stuff.co.nz. "We wanted to have something we could own and operate and have ourselves.
"We also have a passion for food, which I suppose translated well to a Four Square. I might get a few aspiring cricketers coming and buying drinks."
Cricket, Martin said, left him well prepared to go into business. "I think with the cricket side of things you have to get out of bed every day and kind of do it all for yourself ... I think owning your own business is similar."
While reviewing Chris Waters' book 10 for 10 - on Hedley Verity's record - for the Guardian, Andy Bull recounts some entertaining stories of superstitions that cricketers have followed.
Others take things further still. Duck seemed so portentous to Steve James that he refused to eat it, and wouldn't even let his children have a rubber one to play with in the bath, until after his career was over. He sympathised with Neil McKenzie, who developed an obsession that meant he would go out to bat only when all the toilet seats were down, and even went through a phase of taping his bat to the ceiling because his team-mates had once done that to him on a day when he scored a century.
Chris Gayle is looking to give something back to Jamaican society, through cricket. He has opened an academy in Kingston, at the Lucas Cricket Club, for "underprivileged youngsters". The academy, which also has a branch in England, will have two programmes: the Chris Gayle Academy team, and the Chris Gayle Big Six Club.
The academy team will cater to 16 young players on an annual basis, aged between 16 and 21, and - the plan is - give them the opportunity to play other Jamaican teams and touring youth squads. The Big Six Club is a 12-week programme targeted at kids from troubled communities (think low school-attendance rates, high crime levels, and rising drugs abuse).
An emotional Gayle, at the academy's launch, remembered how he was attracted to the game when he was a kid. "Being here brings back memories of me as a youngster, who used to jump the walls of Lucas from my house across the street, just wanting the opportunity to learn the sport of cricket and become a better person," Gayle said, according to the Jamaica Gleaner. "To have come from that far, and being here now, is quite moving, and the hope is that this academy will similarly open doors and opportunities for youngsters."
The ECB has sent the cricket ball "where no cricket ball has gone before": to the "edge of space".
A white ball was sent up from Edgbaston, Birmingham, strapped to a helium balloon, to an altitude of 110,000 feet (or three times the height at which commercial aircraft fly), where it is said to have experienced temperatures of -54C and reached speeds of 500mph while freefalling back to earth. It landed in Newbury, Hertfordshire, in "near-perfect condition".
The stunt was organised as part of the launch of the ECB's revamped T20 competition, the NatWest t20 Blast, and required the input of "a team of aeronautical engineers", according to the ECB site. For the video of the ball on its way to the upper layers of the earth's atmosphere, click here.
One of Sreesanth's trademarks, both on and off the field, is theatricality. Now, with cricket off the agenda for him, he seems to have turned his attention more firmly to acting, dancing and song-writing. He is set to score music for Anbulla Azagae a Tamil-Telugu film his brother Dipu Shanthan is producing, as well as play a cameo role in it. He is also likely to take part in dance-based television show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, next season.
"Sree will be composing all songs in the movie, a love story laced with suspense and drama," Dipu Shanthan told Hindustan Times. "The main cast of the film hasn't been finalised yet, but it will have the best in the industry." Sreesanth, who was banned last year after being found guilty of being involved in the IPL spot-fixing scandal, has already produced and directed two music albums.
Justin Parkinson, political reporter for the BBC, takes us through the history of cricket ball manufacture in the UK. From April 1914 when workers from west Kent threatened to hold the cricket season hostage by not producing any more balls until they were reimbursed appropriately. At the time they had been supplying the best quality for over 150 years, but as the 20th century wore on the monopoly went into steady decline.
Kent's ball manufacturers employed several hundred people at the time, many of whom complained of being treated like "sweated labour"."The power of the union may be largely a thing of the past, and cricket ball manufacture, along with pretty much everything else in cricket, has now largely moved to the subcontinent", says Matt Thacker, managing editor of The Nightwatchman, the Wisden Cricket Quarterly magazine."But it's great to be reminded occasionally how deeply ingrained into the fabric of English life cricket was.
T20 cricket has been dubbed the best vehicle to sell the game across the far reaches of the globe. But what happens when the bug bites but the players do not have the requisite equipment to mimic Chris Gayle's monstrous hits or Lasith Malinga's searing toe-crushers? A town in Cuba faced this conundrum but Scyld Berry's column, in the Telegraph, explains how a charity has taken responsibility of supplying the locals all they need to fuel their passion for cricket.
To see the impact of the arrival of four quality bats in Guantanamo was heart-warming, even for a bowler, and of the first cricket helmet the players had ever seen. A useful addition, because the first ball of our middle-practice - just short of a length - went three feet over the batsman's head.
The list of engineers in Indian cricket is a long and illustrious one and while Mumbai pacer Saurabh Netravalkar is a rank newbie on that list, he has already combined his academic focus with his knowledge of the game to develop a cricket-based application.
Called CricDeCode, the application is designed to help cricketers analyse their game and can be used across platforms. The inspiration behind it was simple enough. "I didn't want the hours of engineering studies to go to waste," Netravalkar told Hindustan Times. "That's how I thought of developing the mobile app."
In the 2010 Under-19 World Cup, Netravalkar was the leading wicket-taker for India after which the fast bowler decided to split his focus on engineering and cricket. He graduated with a degree in computer science last year and also made his first-class and List A debuts for Mumbai earlier in this season.

I am in the process of buying a an apartment in a high rise building. The apartment has a curtain wall facing south with floor to ceiling windows that appear heavily stained and fogged. The staining can best be described as as a dark brown rust staining and the fog is a general haziness. The rust stains appear in parallel vertical stripes running down the length of the window. As best as I can see there is no moisture inside the window (although I have only been to the apartment a handful of times)
The windows are double pane glass and it appears to me that the issue is on the inside of the outer pane of glass (i.e. between the two panes). From talking to the manager of the building, this problem first was noticed about 10 years ago and has gotten progressively worse. I have been reading everything there is on seal failures and this seems to me (as a novice) to be a potential cause. What I am trying to figure out is
If anyone out there can help with my questions, I would be very appreciative. |

1. Yes. Probably rust staining from the spacer oxidizing in the presence of oxygen and water. 2. Yes (or re-glazing the window) 3. Not is constructed properly. 4. General home inspection and you are probably as equip as most home inspectors in identifying this type of failure. |

Now this is Off Topic and Humor.
Carrollton Township, Mich. (AP) - Officer James Kellett knows his job is to serve and protect - even when it comes to nature's stinky creatures.
When a skunk with its head stuck in a salad dressing jar wandered into the police station's parking lot, he grabbed a pellet gun and shot at the jar from about 40 feet away.
The shots shattered the jar, leaving a glass collar around the skunk's neck. With its head free, the skunk ran off.

I love these cloths and do enjoy using them on my face. I ordered linen spa towels from a massage and beauty supply site. The towels are large like dish towels and I cut them to make my own linen face cloths. Everyone I have given them to loves them. I think I paid $9.99 for six of them which is a better for me since I will always have clean linen face cloths to use.
I really like these. They are soft and textured. They gently exfoliate, and are easy to use and rinse. And they work nicely with the Eve Lom Cleanser. :)
I just started using these. So far so good. Very soft and gentle. I just wring out and hang on my towel bar. I use it with Fresh Soy wash in mornings, and after make up removal with Clarisonic at night. Other than expense, no complaints. I'm sure it's much better for my face than a rough washcloth. So far I've washed it once on gentle cycle in warm water. Turned out fine.
I got one of these with a sample of cleanser from Sephora. Can't say much about the price since I don't know how much they are but I'm sure they are somewhat pricey. The product is great, thought. I have very oily, acne-prone skin that seems to do better with exfoliation. This cloth is soft, yet just abrasive enough to feel like it is cleaning my skin. Didn't know soft and abrasive could occur with the same product but it does. I would buy another one of these. I will use this one until it starts to get worn out and see how I feel. So far, so good!
These cloths are positively remarkable. I'd long thought "what the HECK, they're just WASHCLOTHS, for pete's sake" -- ohhhh, I was so wrong. They make my evening cleansing ritual so much easier (I can merely rub my cleansing oil into my skin, run a wet one of these all over my face, follow with a swipe of koh gen do cleansing water, a little serum and some moisturizer and I am DONE -- I've got it down to where it takes little longer than running a cleansing wipe over my face, and the results are so much more gratifying) and they easily rinse clean like magic. Hang it up to dry and it's ready to roll again come morning. I cannot remember my skin being this happy, and the only thing I changed in my regimen was a swap from [whatever brand] lazy, pre-moistened cleansing cloths to these -- WHY did I wait so long to give these a shot?! (Note: I still use my beloved Clarisonic Pro when I shower -- but I swear sometimes these are doing an equally good job at exfoliating...)
I received a sample Eve Lom Cleansing Cloth along with a sample of her cleanser and mask from Sephora - maybe used 100 points to get it? Anywho, one try of the muslin cloth & I was hooked. (Not hooked on the cleanser at all & see it gets low reviews here.) I've since ordered a 3-pack of the cloths & am in facial heaven with them. They are magically smooth, yet offer amazing friction, so your skin is beyond baby-soft when you're done. Truly amazing. I do not wash them after each use, as I rinse them out well & hang them to dry - no bacteria issues, or any others.
Yes, expensive, but everyone says they last forever, so I'm on-board big time. It's the most natural way to exfoliate that I know of, & I love it. An indulgence that's worth the cost IMHO.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is the Muslin Cloths we are taalking about, yes? Well I like 'em a lot with the cleanser. But Im gonna rate them as 4 because they are pricey to buy individually and they are a BITCH to wash. I wash them in boiling water, sometimes with dettol or alcohol-based cleanser and dry them by my heater if I can. Sometimes I just dont use them and become lazy with the skin care routinue as they are sooo annoying to wash. Per one cloth you can cut it in half and sew the raw edges on your sewing machiene. Then you have to cloths for the price of one!. I am I the normal weight range with a small face so 1/2 the cloth is enough for me and I think it would be fine for most people. I wouldnt buy the cloths individually cause they are way too pricey and you could probably find similary material at the craft store. I just buy the tubs in advance and then use the cloths out of these. I use my cloths once per cleanse and I leave them in wter 10 days to 2 weeks before I wash them. Be careful though some of your cloths may get a spot of mould or two though.
Larger and more effective than other cloths - last for a long time (a few years) although when they get too soft they are not that effective any more so I chuck them into the shoe cleaning kit. Wash every couple of days - good tip is to hang an attractive plastic bag storer (I have one from Cath Kidston) on the back of the bathroom door and once washed and dried I put them back there so they are not draped all over the bathroom.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Very expensive & smaller cloths than Liz Earle so not as effective for me. Will stick with Liz Earle.
I'm embarrassed to admit how much I love these extremely overpriced cloths. They are such a treat to use. I've tried others like LE and homemade and they simply don't compare. I want to know why EL muslin feels so different than the other muslin I've bought. I have had mine for years and they still work extremely well to clean and gently exfoliate my skin. They work better than any other wash cloth I have tried. Now I just have to save to buy more.

Annual comic book event calls for turning creativity loose – and feeding it lots of caffiene.
Got creativity?
Try creating a comic book – turning out a page an hour – during the fourth annual 24 Hour Comics Day on October 18. This international celebration of comic book creation involves cartoonists from around the globe taking on the challenge.
You can bring your paper and pencils/pens to Brave New World Comics,
22722 Lyons Ave #6,Santa Clarita (in the yellow Victorian building in Newhall) where cartoonists will work feverishly from noon on October 18 to noon on October 19.
More than 1200 cartoonists in 18 different countries celebrated 24 Hour Comics Day in 2007, when more than 15,000 pages of comic book art were created, the equivalent of 57 years of a regular, monthly comic book.
"24 Hour Comics Day is a great way to see the creative process in action!" said Atom! Freeman, who co-owns Brave New World Comics with his wife, Portlyn. The couple took home the prestigious Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award this year for their role in supporting the medium of the graphic novel both within their community and in the industry.
Of course, winning an award like that comes with responsibilities. Atom! now serves on the national organizing committee for the annual event..
"24 Hour Comics Day is really a worldwide live art project that, in most cases, the public is encouraged to view," he said.
To date, more than 3,000 cartoonists have taken part in the challenge.
"It's a creativity marathon," said Portlyn. "The idea is to put away everything you know, everything you've ever thought about what it takes to create a comic book, put your pencil on the paper and just go. Turn off your brain and turn on your creativity. The goal is creating 24 pages of a comic book in 24 hours. It doesn't sound like much in the first four to six hours, but about hour 14, it gets a little tricky."
Portlyn added that fans and friends of the artists have turned up in the middle of the night to see what progress is being made. One year the event coincided with a winter formal at Hart High and they had couples in prom dresses and tuxes at 3 a.m. looking over the shoulders of the creators.

Dog Shoots French Hunter
A French man was hunting with his dog when the dog's paw was caught in the gun's trigger. The shotgun went off and wrecked the man's hand. The hunter took responsibility saying he should have applied the safety catch.

Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep. When Dick Cheney accidentally shot a hunting companion, the injured man insisted he did not blame the then-vice president. A French man feels the same way about his dog. He was hunting when the dog's paw was caught in the trigger. The shotgun went off and wrecked the man's hand.
The hunter straightforwardly took responsibility afterwards, saying he should've applied the safety catch. He says it wasn't the dog's fault - and he's adorable.

Re:Get busy living or get busy dying. (337 comments)
I am making three assumptions. The first is that the submitter is male. The second is that his significant other is female. The third is that they are human beings. My only real mistake is trying to have a conversation about relationships on
Re:Get busy living or get busy dying. (337 comments)
So your argument is that if she is ALSO a child they have a chance? Possibly. But somehow I doubt she's "into" trading her boyfriend moving 1000 miles away for some online video games unless she's just not that into him. Regardless of what she says, this will not be a substitute for the real thing.
Get busy living or get busy dying. (337 comments)
This isn't going to work. You're living in a fantasy world. Long distance relationships are difficult (and not even really that fun). If you want it to succeed in the long term, you've got to make an effort. Talking about what games you're going to play together online is what children do and your relationship is therefore doomed.
See, the mere fact that you're moving 1000 miles away from her speaks VOLUMES to her (and to me) about what you really think of her. Video games? What the fuck are you thinking?
If you are serious about maintaining this relationship, don't spend your time playing video games with her. Spend that time at a second job and use the money to visit her and (this is also important) fly her out to see you. This will not only show her you are *serious* about your relationship, but that you're a good provider.
She's looking for a committed man. What you're showing her right now is an uncommitted child. I'm not saying that's what you ARE, I'm saying that's what you are SAYING you are. If that's not what you are, start saying something else. Actions > Words.

My odds of being struck by lighting while playing golf are also very rare these days. Doesn't make it a good idea.

I think that means it's a bad idea to play golf indoors even if you've previously destroyed most of the lighting.

UofU Patient August 26, 2014Dr. Tilly is awesome! Seriously one of the best doctors I have ever had. She allows me to be part of my health management, giving advice when asked and the reasoning for the advice, but still allowing me to make decisions where appropriate. She was able to help get an additional study done on the day I was in clinic to see her without having to come back, which was huge, considering it is very hard for me to get off of work to see a doctor.

In any case, I appreciate her competence as a surgeon and doctor and as a friendly person to talk to.
UofU Patient July 19, 2014Positive interaction between the doctor and myself. Felt she listed and heard my needs. Gave me advice. Positive. Good experience.

UofU Patient April 25, 2014This was my first time meeting this particular doctor! She was incredibly friendly, professional and very very informative. My husband and I both LOVED her!!

UofU Patient February 07, 2014I felt rushed during my visit the physician was cutting me off mid sentence of my concerns and I felt like she was finishing my sentences for me even though they were not my thoughts or concerns and she just kept interjecting other concerns that were not the reason for my visit

UofU Patient January 23, 2014The doctor talked with me after the initial visit reasons were addressed to answer questions about other concerns I have.
UofU Patient January 17, 2014This was one of my best healthcare experiences. Shannon Tilly was very knowledgable yet she was also concerned that I participate in choices about my care. I liked how Tilly took time to explain things, listened closely to what I was saying and took time to think about my treatment.
UofU Patient January 17, 2014Dr. Tilly stemmed like she was in a rush to get to the next patient. She had to come back to all me if I had questions. I didn't feel like all of her attention was on me at that moment. I had questions in general but was so upset that she was rushed that I didn't ask them

It must have just been a bad day.
UofU Patient March 18, 2013Just wish that once it was discovered that the test showed no abnormalities, that I would have received a phone call instead of having to pay $50 co pay for 5 minutes with the doctor plus taking time from work to be told everything was fine.

Repeating what is now a definite trend/problem, the D allowed the Ravens to march down the field in their opening drive and reverse the momentum from the Steelers drive to open the game - last year the Ravens would have been 3 and out on their first possession against Steelers' D - this year it seems everyone moves the ball to start the game against the D.
A win is a win, but with the exception of moments such as the second half of the Cincy game, the D has failed to consistently stop opponents to start the game or (see - New England, San Diego, Ravens) failed to clamp down in the 4th quarter.
Any thoughts as to why the drop-off from last year (scheme or individual players), both statistically and what we see on the field?
A loss last night would have made the Jax loss look good - Jax was all Maddox, last night had a lot of blame to pass around. Hopefully we will see a more focused effort against Green Bay.

Sorry this is a double post. (Not very fond of my computer) -------------> I got a good deal on some ball-lock kegs that were converted from pin-locks. I already run a pin-lock system and would like to convert them back to pin-locks. Just wondering if anyone would like to trade keg posts. Basically you would get a new in and out post for each set. I have 4 sets. Since these are essentially new i would be looking for similar condition pin-lock posts (leak free poppets and good o-rings). These are made for pin-lock kegs so i'm not sure if they would fit on ball-locks. Thanks
I'm interested. I have 3 pin-lock kegs that I have yet to use because I tend to use the ball lock ones. I've pressure tested them so I know the poppets are good. I could hook up some qd's and check the o-rings to make sure they're good too. Since I don't know too much about pin lock kegs, are all of the posts interchangeable? I know posts for ball locks aren't (Corny, Firestone, etc.). My pin lock kegs are all old Coke ones.
A note of caution. If these are like the "CornyKeg Pin/Ball Lock Conversion Kit" http://www.cornykeg.com/catalog.asp?prodid=682504 then it seems they might not work for Cornelius brand pin lock kegs. I'd be happy to be wrong tho since I have 2 Cornelius brand pin lock kegs that I'd like to convert to ball lock. (So please let me know if there's a solution for me other than trade.)
I posted in your other thread, the guy above has 3 sets and I have one set. So let me know if you want to trade. Thanks.
Sounds good drocu and JRems. i was thinking i would send them out in one of those small flat rate boxes or a padded envelope depending on what is cheaper. If you guys want to sent me your address in a PM i can reply with mine. I actually have beer in two of the kegs so i will have to do some transferring. I also have one set of ball lock QDs. one has a flared fitting and one is barbed. i'd potentially be looking for a set of flared fitting QDs if someone wanted to trade those as well. Thanks
Yes rwcbrew these are the same as that kit. They work on the firestones and hoovers.
Oh well, thanks anyway drocu
I have two sets I'd be willing to swap with you.
All my pin locks are idle, so if anything falls through let me know via PM. I do have a extra set of flared/barbed QD's that you welcome to trade if this happens. Thx.
