Hola! Quick trip into Spain
... an Andorra police officer which will make a nice addition to his collection.
We then jumped in the car and headed west about 25km to the town of La Seu d'Urgell in Spain. While crossing the border we were stopped by the Spanish Police checking to make sure we were not bringing in goods over the duty free allowance and Nathan took the opportunity to get his second badge for the morning. It was interesting in that as soon as we crossed the border ...
Teaching... and Andorra! Where is Andorra?
... for teachers. This is vastly different to our experience with Catholic schools back home.
Nathan came to the school just after 11.30am to collect the family and it was at this time they found out that he hd arranged the trip to Andorra. If you do not know, Andorra is a very small country with an approx population of only 77,000 people and is at the top of the Pyrenees boarded by both France and Spain. Nathan and ...
Day of Snow Play

In the afternoon Kate and Roy were treated to a � hr of husky sledding, Roy, the animal lover, was beside himself with excitement and we believe this was certainly ...

We finally made it into a few skiing villages and tried to find an interesting place to stop and eat.

We had driven through the entire country in about an hour without even realizing it! We ...

One of the great misconceptions in education is that the reform movement is monolithic. There have always been competing camps, often defined on ideological grounds. Conservatives and libertarians tend to stress school choice, for example; liberals are much more comfortable with an intrusive federal role.
But the divisions feel more rigid today than at any other time that I can recall, the rivalries more heated. This is a big problem, one we need to get a handle on lest school reform go the way of Syria, with rival factions spending more time clobbering each other than fighting a common foe.
I was reminded of this on Friday, when I had the honor to speak to the nation's state superintendents. During a panel session on the Common Core, I made an off-hand comment that riled several of those in attendance. "Let's be careful about the happy talk," I said, "about Common Core and teacher evaluations peacefully coexisting." I went on, "It's not hard to understand why teachers are nervous when we tell them that we expect them to teach to new, higher standards but that their heads are on the chopping block if they don't succeed." We should allow for a pause in the consequences associated with the evaluations, I argued, echoing a recent statement from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Not surprisingly, this rankled the handful of state supes who are pushing hard on the teacher accountability agenda. And upon reflection, I can...

NEA saber rattling, a teacher-quality decree from the White House, and balanced literacy crawls from the grave yet again in NYC. Amber spills about TFA spillover effects.
Examining Spillover Effects from Teach For AmericaCorps Members in Miami-Dade County Public Schools by Michael Hansen, Ben Backes, Victoria Brady, and Zeyu Xu (Washington, D.C.: National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research, June 2014).
Common Core watchers out there have probably heard this one before: All the teachers I know hate the Common Core.
There are undoubtedly some teachers who dislike the Common Core, but recent polls suggest that most teachers support the new standards. During my three years of teaching (completed a month ago), most of my colleagues and I liked the Common Core. One reason we supported the new standards was because they gave us more freedom. Detractors claim that standards tell teachers how to teach. But I taught Common Core after teaching Tennessee's state standards, and while Common Core did give me expectations for what my students should know and be able to do by the end of the year (just like the previous standards did), it allowed me to decide what and how to teach.
Let's consider, for example, the first literature standard for ninth graders (the grade I taught), which states, "Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text." Most would agree that using evidence to support the analysis of a text is crucial. Students ought to know how to cite evidence instead of simply writing about their opinions and feelings.
That's all the standard says, though. Nothing more, nothing less.
The standard didn't tell me when in the year I should teach the skill. I could spend as much...
Bad ideas in education are like horror movie monsters. You think you've killed them, but they refuse to stay dead.
A generation ago, the infamous "reading wars" pitted phonics-based instruction in the early grades against "whole language," which emphasized reading for meaning instead of spelling, grammar, and sounding words out.
In 1997, the National Reading Panel was tasked to settle the fight once and for all. Phonics won. That should have been the end of it, but whole language never really died. It morphed, grew a new head called "balanced literacy," and lived on. In New York City, it grew even stronger.
Finally, last year, there was hope: Balanced literacy was left for dead yet when the city Education Department recommended two reading programs for elementary schools as they prepare to meet the rigorous new Common Core State Standards in English: New York State's Core Knowledge Language Arts curriculum and Pearson's ReadyGen.
The Teachers College Reading and Writing Project—the balanced-literacy program developed by Prof. Lucy Calkins, which had dominated city classrooms for more than a decade—notably failed to make the cut.
Why? Under the shift to Common Core standards, reading programs are explicitly expected to teach strong foundational skills, including phonics in the early grades, while building background knowledge and vocabulary, which are especially important for low-income children most at risk of reading failure.
To match the Common Core, reading programs must also encourage students to grapple with challenging texts that are worth reading.
None of these is emphasized in...
Mike and Brickman talk poor-quality math instruction and the ramifications of this week's Supreme Court decision on union dues. Mike pitches a new bumper sticker: "Keep NCES boring." And Amber is psyched about New York's tenure reforms.
"Performance Screens for School Improvement: The Case of Teacher Tenure Reform in New York City," by Susanna Loeb, Luke C. Miller, and James Wyckoff, Working Paper 115 (Washington, D.C.: National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research, June 2014).
Brickman and Victoria talk principal hiring, Common Core moratoriums, and charter accountability. Dara tells us about barriers to improving schools.
Policy Barriers to School Improvement: What's Real and What's Imagined? by Lawrence J. Miller and Jane S.Lee, (Seattle, WA: Center for Reinventing Public Education, June 2014).
Students who cannot read early in life are barreling toward dropping out, adult illiteracy, and perhaps the welfare rolls. Someone has to intervene in these young lives—and the earlier, the better. Ohio's Third Grade Reading Guarantee requires schools to take early action, including retaining youngsters who do not pass their standardized reading exam. This isn't punitive, as some critics claim, or unnecessarily harmful to kids. Rather, such interventions could be the force that knocks these kids off the dreaded "school-to-prison pipeline."
And they're sorely needed, as witnessed by the recently released data revealing that more than 16,000 Buckeye third graders are in serious jeopardy of not entering fourth grade, as a result of failing their reading exams. Many of these children are from Ohio's poorer areas (over one-quarter of them live in the "Big Eight" urban districts), but thousands more reside in middle-class communities. These youngsters did not earn the minimum score on their reading exam for either the Fall 2013 or Spring 2014 rounds of testing.[1] Now they have one last chance—if they want it—to take the state's assessment this summer or to pass an alternative one.
The fact that 10 percent of Ohio's third graders need heavy-duty summer remediation or will probably have to repeat third grade—and that hundreds more barely passed—should give us pause. Granted, many schools are struggling valiantly to help young readers, and hats off to Ohio's educators for upping their attention on early literacy.
In our last Ohio Gadfly, we analyzed recent changes to Ohio's Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) and suggested ways it could be improved. This guest commentary by Greg Harris, Ohio State Director of StudentsFirst, emphasizes the critical importance of evaluations.
Ohio's new Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) is a significant step forward in improving the quality of instruction for our K–12 students. For the first time, teachers will be evaluated, at least in part, on their impact on student learning gains. (Traditionally, teachers have been evaluated only through observation.) OTES also elevates the role of principals by having them play a more active role in observing and developing their teachers—hence, reconnecting them to classrooms and making teacher quality their priority. In creating such a process, Ohio has established a robust framework for identifying its strongest teachers, as well as spotting and improving the performance of its less effective teachers.
But with the sudden emergence and quick passage by the Senate of Senate Bill 229 in December 2013, OTES was unexpectedly put on trial only half way through its first year of implementation. The bill actually seemed reasonable at first glance. Its sponsors maintained that by exempting teachers rated in the top two categories ("Accomplished" or "Skilled") from annual evaluation, schools could focus their energies on developing weaker teachers. The problem, however, is that under previous evaluation systems, the majority of Ohio teachers had been rated in the top two tiers. If this trend held true, SB 229...
The recent repeal of the Common Core State Standards in Indiana, South Carolina, and Oklahoma has given renewed the hopes of Ohio's Common Core detractors. During the just-completed Mid Biennium Review (MBR) process, the legislature agreed to a number of compromises to address their concerns, but critics remain unsatisfied. This small but vocal minority is now agitating on behalf of a discharge petition for House Bill 237, which would repeal the state's adoption of the Common Core.
A discharge petition is a little-used legislative tactic that, if the petition is signed by fifty House members, allows a bill that fails to get committee approval to move directly to the floor for consideration by the whole chamber. Supporters for HB 237 have, thanks to the leadership of Chairman Stebelton and other members, found little success in the Education Committee and have resorted to the discharge petition process.
It's worth noting that even if the discharge petition is successful (i.e., if it gets fifty signatures and removes the bill from the Education Committee), HB 237 would still need to secure approval from the House, Senate, and governor to become law. Although these chances are slim, consider the potential consequences.
Consequence #1: If the Common Core standards are repealed, Ohio must find something to replace it. Shockingly, shortly after South Carolina chucked the Common Core, a state administrator admitted, "We don't have time to do that [i.e., write new standards]." It seems like the Palmetto State will substitute...

So I checked my mint chocolate stout in secondary, and i have this white ring around where the beer meets the glass, upon agitating it, the ring broke up into tiny rods. There is also some small patches of fuzzy stuff and what almost most defiantly looks like a mold spore growing on the inside of the neck. I'm going to dump this, but I can't figure out how this happened, I starsan-ed the piss out of everything prior to racking. I guess I'll just bleach, oxyclean, and starsan before my next batch just because I'm paranoid now. Has to happen to everyone at least once right? Haha
I wouldnt dump unless it is a complete loss and undrinkable. Can you post some pics. Most times you can rack from under the mold and salvage the beer. Don't give up yet!

Absolutely the best place for a family group
We rented this place for my wife's 60th birthday (late December 2014) and it was one of the most amazing weekends of our lives. We wanted to celebrate this event in a very unique way and we were not disappointed. The reviews seemed almost too good to be true, yet they didn't come close to our incredible experience - or the fun had by the 36 people in our group. This place is simply AMAZING - and the owner is too! Before arrival, our 11-year-old granddaughter said, "What if this is all a joke & we only find a small house with a tiny pool and yard?" Upon arrival, she turned and said "It Is even better than the pictures!" The next day, her 8-year-old brother (been to Disney several times) told us "This is the best day of my life!" Prior to our visit, we exchanged many emails with the owner - Andrew. We always found him to be FUN, available (answering most emails within 10 minutes) and accommodating. We were welcomed at the house by Andrew's caretaker Felicia who gave us a complete tour of the property. Both she and Andrew said they were available any time of day or night - no question too small, stupid or unnecessary. We contacted them a few times during our stay and they responded immediately and were VERY helpful. This place is incredible. It held all 36 of us without us tripping over each other. The main house has an incredible kitchen, living room and dining room upstairs and a spacious common room (with disco, arcade) downstairs - 6 bedrooms in the main house and 4 in the guest house. There are also plenty very comfortable non-private sleeping spaces.The 2 houses are very close with a kitchen and plenty of bathrooms in each. It worked out perfectly for our group because several of us need to eat gluten-free and we made one kitchen a gluten-free zone. There is also a great outside cooking and eating area. The weather was so perfect we ate every dinner outside on the patio area. Our family (4 generations ages 2 through 86) is spread over 6 states and don't get the chance to get together as much as we'd like. We all attended 2 weddings earlier in the year, but stayed in separate rooms or hotels & we felt like we hadn't really had a chance to visit with everyone. Our experience at the Sweet Escape was very different. We'd walk from room to room, finding different groups talking or playing together - having the time of their lives enjoying each other's company. Andrew and his house helped make our dreams come true and we will be forever thankful.
Great first experience
This was our first time renting a home and will NOT be our last! We will try to stay at this location again. With a family of 6 it's very difficult to find lodging, much less with a dog, and the high reviews made this our first choice so we were very glad it came through! Not being familiar with the process and expectations we were nervous but the owners were very accommodating with our questions and helpful. The distance from Disney was closer than expected so that was a pleasant surprise. Thank you very much for your help and lovely property; I can see why it's so tightly booked for so long!
The full Clermont!
Just moving to Florida from Upstate NY we were so lucky to find this gem to enjoy while we began our house-hunting. Chris & Diana were quick to answer our inquiry and answered all our questions. With great flexibility, they worked out all the details for our stay of an uncertain amount of time. They were so helpful before and during our stay and even accommodated our pets with a smile! The back deck was lovely to catch the afternoon sun. We didn't know anything about the area when we booked it but historic Clermont turned out to be a perfect place to start our new life. Just walk out the door and there are vintage shops, a block down to an amazing lake and bike/walking trail, great places to eat or grab an ice cream and even get an excellent hair cut. At night the tree lined street is aglow with white lights on all the trees. Walking home from the wine bar in the evening was always a treat. The extensive farmer's market right outside our door every Sunday was ridiculously charming. Don't miss the fresh eggs from the "egg guy"! We also enjoyed a music festival and a fine arts weekend as well right on our street. Everything is very clean and the police station is a block away but I didn't feel I needed it. The "flat" itself is gorgeous. Pictures do not do it justice. It's so spacious and takes up the whole 2nd floor of a building front to back. The bay window in the master bedroom was the best way to greet the Florida sunshine each morning. The exposed brick and 2 sets of french doors made it a chic and modern classic. Newly remodeled with granite counter tops, dishwasher and 2 full baths it lacked nothing. The place is completely equipped with everything you'd ever need to sleep, bathe, cook, eat or lounge. 3 TV's was a nice plus although most nights we just enjoyed the peacefulness of the apartment. Although the street enjoys a happy and slow bustle during the day, it is really quiet and lovely at night. Yet it's easy to get to all the attractions and parks in Orlando and has Target and lots of other stores and grocery stores nearby. Chris & Diana live right down the street and are always available if you need any help or recommendations for places to go. If you have a chance to stay here, don't pass it up! We almost wish we didn't find our dream house so quickly. We are always going to look back fondly at this special time & place.

Report: Newton fined for conduct
A person familiar with the penalty says the NFL has fined Panthers quarterback Cam Newton $21,000 for abusive conduct toward a game official.
NEED SOME? GET SOMEFeed your NFL addiction! Come feast on all the news in our updating blog.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the league hasn't announced the fine.
Newton shouted at and bumped referee Jerome Boger in the fourth quarter of Carolina's penalty-plagued 17-6 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
Newton apologized after the game, saying ''the words that I said during the game were very disrespectful and I apologized to (Boger) during the game, but I'm going public and apologizing again. It was something in the heat of the moment.''
Boger said he didn't feel the bump was enough to warrant an ejection because it ''wasn't of a malicious nature.''

Olivia Chow would beat Rob Ford in mayor's race: Poll
NDP MP Olivia Chow would easily defeat Mayor Rob Ford in the 2014 municipal race, a Forum Research poll finds.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Olivia Chow would easily defeat Mayor Rob Ford in next year's municipal election in all but one scenario where the centre-left vote is split three ways, a new poll by Forum Research shows.
In a one-on-one race, Chow would win with 57 per cent of the vote compared to 36 per cent for Ford, the poll found.
That's down slightly from a March poll that found she had 60 per cent of the vote to Ford's 33 per cent, but up from April's 54-39 split.
"The gap is a little narrower," Forum Research president Lorne Bozinoff said in an interview Sunday. Bozinoff said Ford may be enjoying a bit of a boost from his recent focus on keeping taxes down. "The 'Ford Nation' likes that," he said, referring to Ford's supporters.
Ford claimed victory following a recent city hall vote that saw a majority of councillors reject all but two of 14 potential taxes and tolls to help pay for public transit. City council decided to throw the problem of transit funding back in the province's lap.
Still, Chow enjoys a very strong lead over Ford, Bozinoff said, referring to the poll conducted May 10. "It's still quite substantial in Olivia Chow's favour. She remains a top tier candidate."
Chow, who is a New Democratic Party MP and former Toronto city councillor, has not declared her candidacy but recently admitted she is "considering" a run for mayor.
The next municipal election is Oct. 27, 2014. All the scenarios in the Forum poll are hypothetical.
The only scenario in which Chow would lose is if the centre-left is split three ways, the poll found. In that case, Ford would edge out Chow with 35 per cent of the vote to her 34 per cent. Toronto city councillor Adam Vaughn would get 13 per cent and councillor Karen Stintz would get 11 per cent.
The Forum poll also found radio show host John Tory would easily best Ford in a two-way race with Tory attracting 50 per cent of the vote to Ford's 33 per cent.
Tory, a former leader of Ontario's Progressive Conservative party and former MPP, would also edge out the mayor in a race that included Stintz as a candidate, the poll found.
"Olivia Chow and John Tory are both strong candidates, one from the left and one from the right. As long as they run in an uncrowded field, Rob Ford doesn't have a chance against either," Bozinoff said in a statement.
Chow would also win in a contest of "heavyweights" featuring Ford and Tory as her rivals, taking 44 per cent of the votes to their 27 per cent and 25 per cent respectively, the poll found.
Stintz is the only sitting councillor who could defeat the mayor in a one-on-one contest, the poll found.
The random sampling of 974 Toronto residents ages 18 and over is considered accurate to plus or minus 3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

protecting tomato plants
I have an organic garden.
What plants should I plant by a tomato plant to keep bugs and tomato diseases under control?
To me marigolds attract insects but at least that keeps them away for your crops. I really think most companion planting is for taste or the plants are attractors that pull the insects to them.
Basil affects taste.
Read this site: http://www.ghorganics.com/page2.html
I think it is right on target with most info.
Here's some more:
After having been active in a community garden for the last 3 years that is located in an open field, I've come to the conclusion that surrounding the garden with herbs and then having strategic herb plantings in different spots inside the beds keeps the bugs to a minimium. (Not counting stink bugs....I'm working on that specific combination still) Of course you have to keep the beds clean and be reactive when they do show up but we really have only had small problems except for the stink bugs. It pays to research the bugs favorite foods too. Some bugs like chocolate cake and some like ice cream....know your enemy and see what farmers use as trap crops.
Good luck
Hello! I see you are interested in starting to grow your own tomato plants. With tomato plants, there a couple of points to take into consideration, first of; Tomato plants are attractive towards many different pests. Tomato cutworms are usually in abundance in the early seasons. You can buy specific sprays and deterrents online and in your local gardening store. It is always best to be aware of different pests trying to eat your tomato plants. Horn worms, flea's, beetles, Aphis and psyliids are all different types of pests. Although I cannot assist you in choosing the right plant to have alongside your tomato plant, I specialize in treating pests and ensuring that your plants grow and prosper without constant threat of insects.

Louisiana Ragin' Cajun football coach Mark Hudspeth to join prestigious list of Collegiate Coach Award recipients of the past.
When your football team has success, other teams come sniffing around, looking to steal your assistant coaches. Mark Hudspeth's Ragin' Cajun squad had a successful 2014 campaign, winning the R & L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. They held Nevada to just 3 points. The Cajuns Defense was the best in the Sunbelt conference. That clearly caught the attention of the pro team that plays its home games at the Superdome.

Ready your queues and read on for our guide to the newest releases hitting Netflix Instant in January 2015.
Expectations were high for the New Orleans Saints this year. There was a lot of talk about a Super Bowl run, and speculation this could be the best Saints team ever. They sure looked a lot better on paper than they did on the field.
For the fourth time in as many years, Ragin' Cajun Nation can paint the Quarter red after defeating the Nevada Wolfpack, 16-3, in the New Orleans Bowl.

Re: Re: 3 day vacation to kC
Listen to The Man: Giampiero is absolutely right. The Plaza is the real urban center of K.C. A second choice or option would be the Westport District. It's edgier, more youthful and "hip" than the Plaza - and also cheaper. Less shopping, fewer national "chains" - but plenty going on, especially in the way of nightlife.

Astoria's evolving downtown
|| Print |
|Robin Doussard
|Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Downtown Astoria has many assets. It has myriad intact historic buildings from the 1920s, including the lovely renovated Liberty Theater and the Hotel Elliott. Over the past few years, breweries such as the expanding Fort George Brewery and Astoria Brewing Co. have arrived (and a third one is proposed for a former seafood processing plant), and there are now more than a few very good restaurants (and two cupcake shops). There is a great little mix of independent retail shops like Vintage Hardware and Foxgloves. It is a downtown that is real, where you can still shop at J.C. Penney, buy garden supplies and get your shoes repaired.
For all those assets, there are challenges, of course. Like all downtowns, especially rural ones, the recession was not kind and some businesses are struggling. Like Newberg/Dundee, a very busy highway with lot of heavy-freight traffic runs smack through town.
There's concern over nearby Warrenton's growing big-box business, with stores such as Staples and Dollar Tree, that has already siphoned some business out of downtown Astoria. The Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft store decamped Astoria for Warrenton and left behind 10,000 square feet of vacant space that has been filled by consignment stores and storage. And then there is the impending arrival of a Wal-Mart, which has brought with it the customary and considerable controversy and angst (and continuing comments on our website).
Never a group to sit on its hands, Astoria leaders are facing those challenges in several ways. The "newly revitalized" Astoria Downtown Historic District Association (ADHDA) this month launched phase two of a comprehensive block-by-block assessment and identity process that will take several months.
Susan Trabucco, chair of the ADHDA business development committee, said she'd like to come out of the process with a fresh perspective on the vision for downtown.
"There hasn't been one for many years," she said. "What do we want to be?"
One of the issues for downtown is that it can "appear to be lifeless to the person driving through," she says. "We need to create a shopping environment that is friendlier than it is now. … I would love to see more life on the streets, with stores open more often."
Dulcye Taylor, ADHDA president, says downtown needs to "refine what we have."
Benoit pegs the downtown vacancy rate at about 10%-15% if you take the abandoned buildings owned by the infamous Flavel family out of the picture. "The Flavel buildings are a challenge," he says. "They're very visible and vacant." (The Flavels are a story unto themselves, and the city has been struggling with the family's rundown buildings for years. I digress here, but I have to give a huge shout out to the Daily Astorian's great story a few months ago about how it tracked down the long-missing Mary Louise Flavel, in Portland of all places.)
Benoit also thinks the new $1.2 million Garden of Surging Waves currently under construction right outside his City Hall office window will draw more visitors and locals to downtown. The late Portland developer Art Demuro bequeathed the final $200,000 need to complete the funding for the garden, which honors the city's long-neglected Chinese heritage. The garden, scheduled for completion this spring, is the first phase of the larger $3 million Heritage Square project, which will also include outdoor festival space and an amphitheater. Funding is still being sought for completion of the project.
Astoria has long been one of my favorite rural success stories. It has longtime, engaged and enlightened leadership, including Benoit, and takes the long view. It's done an amazing job with its riverfront redevelopment. There are several large projects under way, including a $5.5 million project to replace the 17th Street pier, renovation of the Astoria Railroad Depot by the Columbia River Maritime Museum, and a new $5 million 12-acre athletic complex made possible by a multi-partner deal. That's just a partial list.
Astoria has weathered a lot of downturns, but has been consistently moving forward. It's getting a nice buzz around it, including being found out by the New York Times and others. As I've traveled around the state reporting on rural Oregon, more than a few communities have said they admire what Astoria has been able to accomplish. As Taylor said, there are a lot of things going right here, Astoria just needs to continue to refine its unique assets.

I too was skeptical when I first decided to try this new product. And when I bit the bullet and spent the $29 (not $40) I will admit to being somewhat disappointed. Although the effect was outstanding, I got fibers in my eye and it was uncomfortable. I then realized I was applying it too close to the root, and changed my application process. Since then I have had very little problems. When I do, it's usually because I am rushing and not being mindful in how I am applying my make-up, which is essential, especially when not wanting to look like a two-bit whore.
From my foundation to my mascara I am taking notice.
I actually love the mascara, but their eyeliners really have me hooked as well as the new lip stain.
I have always been a drug store cowgirl and stuck to Cover Girl but as I get older I need higher quality brand for sure.
I will also agree with most of these posts, though, explore!
It's fun to try them all out, (except of course when your skin breaks out), but when you find the one that works for YOU, that's the best!

Ok so I was really skeptical when I bought this mascara, I have tried 100s of products that promise 300% more volume and usually end up with sticky clumpy lashes! Yuck!!! I bought it from a friend who is a younique presenter and tried it for the first time one morning, I had so many comments of wow or are you wearing lashes!!! I love it!! I promised myself I would use it only at weekends or for occasions but the next day i went to use my regular mascara and was disapointed as usual. I have used Younique fiber lash mascara everyday since I bought it I am hooked. And I was so pleased with the product that I decided to join my friends younique team so now I get paid to wear it!!! How great!!! I have since tried almost all of the products and they have all found thier way into my daily routine, yes I admit I am a Younique addict!!!!!!
If you are fun loving, selfie taking, dedicated and spend a lot of time on facebook why not drop me a message and we can see if you are right for my amazing team!!!! Youniqueproducts.com/annalou xxxx

WOW! Try this. Highly recommended.
You do not need an under-mascara- the instructions said it was optional.
I find the thicker formula of the mascara I apply as a base, the more clumpy it turns out.
I wear contact lenses daily, and it has not irritated my eyes; I haven't gotten any fibers in my eyes, ever.
No fiber fallout after a 12 hour day, including crying- OR SMUDGING- true to its word, it is water resistant. It removes easily with an oil based makeup remover. I applied regular mascara to one eye, and this on the other- let me tell you, dramatic difference. It doesn't turn out clumpy if you use 1 coat. It gets clumpy once you start layering it. Unlike other fibers these are easy, black, and the transplanting gel, if applied after, seals the fibers in very well. Doesn't rip my eyelashes out. BEAUTIFUL packaging.

I love this product!! I am very picky about my eye make up. I have thyroid disease which make me have very little lashes. I tried it the first time, it really was amazing!! Took practice to apply correctly. I also had fibers in my eyes at first then after the second application and getting fibers in my eyes, I though about it. What was I doing wrong? So I tried putting the fiber not so close to the root of my lashes....duh!! Worked like a charm!! No more problems except that I'm addicted to the brand!!

For one....there is not a product made that everyone is going to love completely. For two...all products have some possibilities of risks or allergic reactions, If you don't think so...you are delusional! If you read.....it says it on the site as well as directions. Thirdly, if you know how to use it right, it is a great product! I love it! I will never use anything else. You do not have to use your regular mascara before it....that is optional! If you get fibers in your eyes...it is because you did something wrong. I have been wearing it for a long time...I have exercised in it, hunted in it, swam in it, wore contacts with it and have got it in my eyes once, and it was my fault! It never caused a major reaction! Other than that one time, it never comes off my lashes. I have even slept in it! You can't make everyone happy unfortunately, but I absolutely love it! P.S. if you are buying this product from anyone besides a presenter...it is fake! Ebay and Amazon included. Anything under $29 for this product is not real. Just FYI. You run the risk of greater chance of allergic reactions and problems.

For positive remarks, I believed the packaging was absolutely professional and wonderful, and I am now using the hard compact case to hold my glasses in my purse to prevent damage. I also consider the price reasonable since I received 2 products for $30, when only one high end mascara in most departments can possibly cost more. I also believe this product performs the best out of most fiber mascaras out in the market, such as Tarte and Too Faced.
However for the unsatisfactory flaws, I personally think this product is not the most ideal for Asian women with stick straight lashes. The transplanting gel has a very heavy wet formula which does not hold the desired curl. Although the mascara does provide desirable length, the lashes do not appear to be the most natural. I've followed the application instructions carefully, and even utilized an extra disposable spoolie, however the lashes look bug like because of the fuzzy fiber sticking sideways on the lashes. Although the 3d mascara provides comfort than the band of false lashes, I would rather wear false lashes since I would rather have natural fluffy lashes.
All in all, I loved the packaging, satisfied with the price, and believed the 3d fiber lashes performed best out of any similar product I've ever tried. However, this product does not function well for my lashes, and I would not repurchase.

I consider myself a mascara connoisseur of sorts, so after having about three pals selling the line. I decided to give it a try. Ok so the mascara does give you very long lashes, no doubt about it. The issue is that they are long AND clumpy. I have super long natural lashes so all I need is one coat, but it a messy and clumpy mess. It just looks really Tammy Faye Baker. Even if you look at the pics above the fibers are giving the lashes a kinda strange split end type look, which is really weird for eyelashes.
Also on some side notes. It takes a pretty long time to apply this. I take a good 10 minutes at the least to apply and no makeup product, sans foundation perhaps should take so much time. Then I think this brand loses major credibility by saying to apply another mascara first then start layering this one after. How many brands promote other company brands. It just didn't add up for me.

The fibers get in my eyes, & I want to claw my eyes out!! It's miserable. I follow the instructions exactly - gel, fiber, gel. (apply fiber before 1st coat of gel dries so it sticks & gel afterwards to seal it) I've even tried double & triple coats of gel to seal it. I also have fiber pieces under my eyes after about 30 minutes, if that, Which I could tolerate, but having it in my eyes is awful. Even after I remove it w/ makeup wipes, it still takes a while to get it all out of my eyeballs. I have to place my finger in my eye to get the fibers out & rub my eyelid over and over, hoping it'll collect in the corner of my eye so I can remove it. Eyedrops help, too.
I'm so disappointed in this mascara. I signed up for this site just to express this.
I paid about $40 for this mascara, & I've tried it multiple times now thinking the texture may change or something after a few uses, but I end up with the same results. I'm having a hard time throwing away $40 :(

I see a lot of the bad reviews here consist of fibers in the eyes. I've been using this product for 5 months now and at first, when I didn't apply it correctly I had the same issue. You HAVE to apply the gel before AND after you apply the fibers. The gel sets it in place so they don't fall out. It says it in the directions. I love this mascara! I get many compliments on my lashes. It's not really expensive compared to getting the false ones at the salon and it's not bad for your lashes like falsies. My lashes have even seemed to grow some using this. I don't think I could ever NOT use this!

Emilie Simon Free Mini-concert @ Kapok , May 9th 2007 (invitation only)
Even i got so many things to do at the moment, i still wanna write a short review for the wonderful performance last night, in an art gallery fully packed of French & famous people.
So sweeeet when Emilie told us all to sit down, to listen to her tiny acoustic set, ja, we're delighted by her soft+tender voice of angel, I really enjoy the show.
A bit unhappy with the photos i took... dark and shaky. Want to speak with her and say a thank you after the music, but suddenly the people start to quene up for her signature, so, maybe have a coffee together next time then.
She sounds like... myspace1 myspace2
It won't happen without Arnault, Alliance Francaise & White Noise, here's an artwork i made for Danke & Salute!
p.s. If you're interest in indie music, art, craft, handmade,
exhibition... go check Kapok Gallery yourself!

Ciao, Grazie Chiara Marra! can't find Emilie in Italy?!

Naty Rive! thx for coming by.
Did you do the poster? I like her voice, she seems to be very nice, and her music is very interresting with a lot of live and studio sound work and crazy instruments. it should be very intimate with only a voice and a guitar.
Right, fx974, i made this artwork.
unique kind of sound in Emilie's full band, and very mellow when she plays her little guitar. so good!
like her

Wow this looks coooool! I didn't know you drew man! This looks soo cool Iam going to check out her music now haha! =0)

How do I know if its fungus, grubs, soil, or water problem? (pic)
I try all summer to save the lawn but it turns yellowish and dies.
Type of grass? I have no idea, its the sharp edged playground grass that feels smooth when you run your finger from tip to root and feels like sandpaper when you run your finger from root to tip.
We water 3 times a week during the heat of the summer, 2 times a night, 20 minutes each. The soil is quite clayish. It's HOT here in summer, consistant temps over 105 from end of June to end of August. Many days in July are over 110.
HOW can I find out WHAT I'm doing wrong? I'm willing to change anything I'm doing but I don't know how to begin finding that out.
I have some people tell me I need to water more often because the roots are shallow from the clay soil. I have others tell me I need to water less frequently to train the roots to grow deeper.
Here's a pic of the two WORST spots although much of the lawn needs help.
Your best bet is probably to get a soil test and start there. See what kind of shape the soil is in. Since it appears you have problem areas, I would test those areas independent of the rest of the lawn so that if it a localized problem, the rest of the yard won't dilute the problem.
I don't think watering could cause that big of a problem relative to the rest of the lawn.
Grubs - pull up some of the grass and check the root around for the bugs. If you can't see em, it isn't a problem.
I agree with the soil test. But also you should not water at night. This breeds fungus especially in hot summer months. If you don't want to do a soil test you can put down some corn meal or cracked corn approx 10 lbs per 1000 ft. This should take care of any fungal problems in approx 3 weeks.
As for watering, you need to do the tuna can test. Its the only way to show you how much water your actually applying per zone/time. Read the link below.
You want to shoot for 3/4-1" per week.
Here is a link that might be useful: How to Calibrate Your Sprinkler System
I'm interested in this one. It looks to me like watering was the obvious problem. I wish you had mentioned where you live, but if your temps are over 105 from June through Aug, that pretty much narrows it down to a band from Las Vegas south through Indio to Calexico and east to New Mexico. I grew up in temps like that (before the SoCal smog cooled things off).
Your problem area is on a slope. Slopes, hills, and mounds drain water fast. With your low humidity, high temp, and on a slope; your grass is not getting enough water. The only way to really keep moisture on that would be with a soaker hose running continuously at a trickle. Rather than do that, I would let the grass die out and do something else.
It also looks like you have the wrong grass for your zone. It looks like fescue in the pictures. It should be bermuda if you absolutely have to have a grass. At this point I would plant xeriscape plants on the slope. I don't think you can water it enough under your conditions. If you don't want xeriscape plants, then you could mulch heavily in there and plant pretty much whatever you want that is adapted to your area. Keep the mulch on, though.
When people come here and report a "clay" soil, they usually have clay but without a healthy population of microbes, especially fungi. The people with healthy soil don't usually report having clay. The fungi will help your soil retain moisture, but you have to have moisture for the fungi to survive. That's where the mulch comes in.
As for the rest of the lawn (not on slopes), you should water deeply and infrequently. In your case, twice a week is probably infrequently but three times is pushing the limit. The idea is for the surface of the soil to dry out between waterings so weed seeds will not germinate. No problem with twice a week in your area. As for duration, 20 minutes is not nearly long enough. I water from 1-3 hours per zone. Last night I watered 6 hours because I've been away for 3 weeks and my wife doesn't water that long. Once you have a healthy population of microbes, your soil will not allow runoff, so even with 6 hours, it all soaked in. As for your yard, unless your sprinkler pours out the water, I would start moving up toward 1 hour (from 20 minutes). Watch your grass for signs of wilting. If it wilts, water immediately but water more heavily (longer) until you can go from one watering to the next without wilting. With a clay base, once you get the microbes going, you might be able to stretch it out to once a week watering, even with your heat.
Watering at night is probably not a problem in your area. Our water restrictions in San Antonio require night time watering year round. I've been doing it for a couple years and have not had any more problems than when I watered in the day - and I was expecting problems. Then again I'm on an 100% organic program and fungus diseases are not much of a problem, so your mileage may vary.

"I hate the narrator's voices"
The narrator had about 5 slightly different voices that he used for different characters, and all of the voices were annoying. The main character always seemed to be sighing, his wife was really annoying, it was distracting. I am normaly a fan of Michael Crichton, I think this book would have been a lot better if I had read the print version. But, it was slightly entertaining, I managed to finish it. If this story seems interesting to you, buy it in print.

If I increase the amount of acid would this thin salsa be safe to
This recipe has a lot of low acid ingredients but I'm curious if it could be made safe for canning by adding vinegar, bottled lime or lemon juice? I figured since it makes such a thin salsa, it might be safe to just add some thing to raise the acid. Here is a picture of the texture.... Do you think this recipe could be made safe, how would you do it? Any advice would be welcomed.
Ersatz Papalote Salsa Recipe
* 5 medium roma tomatoes, cored and halved
* 10 dried chiles de arbol, stemmed, halved lengthwise, and seeded
* 2 teaspoons ground dried pasilla peppers
* 1 tablespoon kosher salt
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1 1/2 cups water
* 2 tablespoons unsalted hulled pumpkin seeds
* 3 tablespoons white vinegar
* 1/4 cup minced scallions
* 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
Here is a link that might be useful: Ersatz Papalote Salsa Recipe
Maybe. No way to know for sure. As you said, lots of low-acid ingredients and a LOT of water (which is very alkaline)! So how much acid would be needed?
Compare it to this approved one. No water and 2 cups of bottled lemon juice.
As we always say here. It is a fresh use recipe not a canning recipe. Canning it, even with increased acid, is a do-at-your-own-risk situation.
There's just no way to provide a definite answer. Only lab testing can tell you whether the existing recipe is safe or how much additional vinegar or other acid might be required.
Beyond that, I think this is the sort of recipe that, if canned, would lose a lot of its character. I'm not convinced the scallions, the cilantro and certainly the pumpkin seeds would do very well in processing.

Gaming has been really bad for awhile now
we've had bad motion controls forced on us, endless sequels, nonstop FPS games, glitchy WRPG games with no heart at all, JRPG games that forgot what a TRUE jrpg is, single player games being turned in MP games, nintendo re-releasing the same games over and over again. Admit it or not, but gaming has been in a major rut. The glory days had been long over
but now ni no kuni came out. it's a true JRPG game. It doesn't have blah graphics like games such as CoD, it's a brand new IP, it has excellent music and it has so much heart. Thank you for restoring my faith in gaming and making me realize that there's still hope
That is the most depressing thing I have heard today.
Tales of XIllia>NiNOKuni(Opinion)
Also FPS is an amazing genre. But, I know you're just a troll.
CoD>Dog Turd>Gaming Community>GFAQS Community
ni no kuni has an 86% on metacritic
skyrim has a 96%
pwned! japan is never going to be king ever again. even japan didn't like ni no kuni anyway.
1 good game from japan is not greater then a few dozen good games from north america. Oh and Canada is the king of good games

yeah, so what
america made xbox 360, windows, android, iOS, etc. western devs are the ones making all the best games for ps3 and psvita anyway. ps3 would be nothing without the west. the devs, on the other hand, would still be something, because then they could just release their games on xbox 360 or pc. LOL

you know, it has been a few days that i've been watching those on your stream hehe. they look really delicious, i'm sure the flavour combinations you used here make it taste just perfect!
Thank you, Marianna! I was really glad with the mix of orange and cranberries, with a touch of Cointreau.
