Non-Princess Movies For Girls
12 Movies Perfect For Grade-Schoolers (With Nary a Princess in Sight)
The day my best friend's 5-year-old daughter showed up for her school Halloween costume contest, she was crushed. Lindsay had every intention of showing off how fierce she was as a girl Power Ranger, but came back crying that she didn't want to dress up because every other girl in her class was a princess.
Her mom used all the powers in her arsenal to reassure her daughter that she didn't need to wear a crown or sparkly pink dress to feel special and pretty. But given society's infatuation with princess imagery and feminine ideals, you can bet she'll need to emphasize that message many times during her daughter's grade school years.
Fortunately, not everything fits the princess mold. More and more stories are being developed with complex female characters. Here, we round up the community's favorite movies that portray girls in a more positive and complex light. They're not only entertaining but also can help remind your child that there's no need to wear pink or purple and wait for Prince Charming to have a happy ending.

A Microprocessor-controlled Graphite Rod Direct Sample Insertion Device for Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry
Volume 37, Number 3 (June 1983) Page 250-254
Li-Xing, Zhang; Kirkbright, G.F.; Cope, M.J.; Watson, J.M.
A microprocessor-controlled graphite rod direct sample insertion device for use with an inductively coupled plasma is described and the accompanying software design is illustrated. The energy of the rf field and the plasma itself is used to carry out the programed sample drying and ashing stages prior to analyte vaporization. The rod position for drying aqueous solutions and for ashing an aqueous solution containing organic material has also been investigated. Automation of the graphite rod insertion device in the manner described improves the precision attainable by this technique; the system is shown to be suitable for trace element determinations in small liquid samples or directly with small solid samples.

Well, this certainly makes it look like the Rams are moving back to Los Angeles, doesn't it? Rams owner Stan Kroenke is building an 80,000-seat NFL stadium on land he owns in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood. It should be ready by 2018. This article is filled with beautiful drawings of possible stadiums, if you enjoy that sort of thing. If the Rams do move back to L.A., please bring back the brighter blue-and-yellow uniforms instead of the dark blue-and-gold.

If you didn't have enough fun debating individual player rankings in our Pro Bowl XP, now you can debate the All-Pro team as well.
Personally, when I see that Bobby Wagner was named an All-Pro inside linebacker despite missing about one-third of the season, the whole exercise seems pretty silly.

Buffalo Bills coach (er, former Buffalo Bills coach) Doug Marrone has opted out of his contract with the team, making himself a free agent.
According to a report on ESPN.com, "Marrone exercised the unique option during the final hours of a three-day window that opened Monday, stipulated in the four-year contract he signed with the Bills in 2013. The opt-out clause was included in the original contract in the event of an ownership change, which occurred when Terry and Kim Pegula purchased the franchise in October."

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has been suspended for this weekend's playoff game against Dallas after stomping on the leg of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Suh will appeal, but given his track record (he has been fined seven times for player safety violations), it's hard to see him winning this one.

Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Not bad Helmet is light weight and looks good. Other people have had issues with size- I just ordered the same size as all my other helmets and it was fine. Really good for the price. Lee - January 20, 2015 (Greeley, CO) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Nice helmet Size chart is accurate, I ordered a medium at 1st and had to return for a small. I was borderline between the two, so order smaller if you're in the same situation. Very high gloss black finish looks sharp. Not too bad of a mushroom look, more and more riders are using this style. I purchased for trips to Tennessee. Jeff - July 21, 2014 (Winchester, KY) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit FX-70 Helmet Easy on and off, fits okay, looks okay, protects your head, and a good price. What more do you need? You should try it on to check your size before buying. Mike S. - July 11, 2013 (Punta Gorda, FL) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Good helmet This is a good helmet for the money. It provides plenty of air flow to keep your head cool. Looks sharp, too! Phil - June 19, 2013 (Fayetteville, TN) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Helmet I like this helmet. Good for the cost. I went a size smaller than the chart recommended. Thankful I was able to try on first. I do wish it had a quick release on the strap. Overall pleased. TW - February 19, 2013 (St. Jo, MO) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Helmet This is the first half-helmet I have worn, so keep that in mind. It looks attractive, so I was pleased with that. It is comfortable, but sits high, or at least feels like it does, so has kind of a mushroom head look. Not real thrilled with that, but I like the half helmet over the full helmet, and it satisfies the keeping the noggin whole part. Here in MB, motorcycle fatalities are really high, so even though you don't need a helmet... you NEED a helmet. Bob - January 17, 2013 (Myrtle Beach, SC) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit helmet Great helmet. Would have liked the same helmet with the flames. Fits good. Larry - July 03, 2012 (Knox, IN) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit AFX-FX-70 Solid Helmut- Silver First time buyer from Motorcycle Superstore, nice! Fast service, easy to find what I needed from a large selection. Helmet arrived on time and in perfect condition. Didn't give perfect score due to the ear covers being kinda hokie pieces that velcro into place. But that's fine because I won't be using them anyway .That's what a full face helmet is for. Tim - March 16, 2012 (Beaverton, OR) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Quality helmet Good fit, finish and features for the price! John - September 28, 2011 (Long Beach, CA) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Helmet I love this helmet. The fit and finish are great. The snap feature for straps is very thoughtful. Without the feature you would get beaten up by the strap flapping in the wind. The price was very reasonable, also. Juan - September 26, 2011 (The Woodlands, TX) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Helmet Not bad, Great price....Comfortable helmet Chris - September 08, 2011 (Alton, NH) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Helmet I am enjoying the helmet. It fits well, and I like the appearance. I wish it had air flow vents and a quick disconnect buckle. George H. - June 02, 2011 (Spartanburg, SC) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit FX-70 Half Helmet Great quality for a great price!! Fits well and I'd say true to sizing! I like the snap for attaching the chin strap, it won't be slapping me in the face with the extra length!! Steve O - October 14, 2010 (Lancaster, MA) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Glorified Bicycle Helmet First off the helmet did not meet the fit that I have with all other helmets. I wear an XL, but this basically sat on my head and rattled around. If you remove the liner you find a high density Styrofoam that is MAYBE more useful that the bicycle helmet my daughter wears. I ended up sending this back and wouldn't order anything else from this company. Allen - October 13, 2010 (New Fairfield, CT) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Best Helmet I've Had This is by far the most comfortable half helmet I've owned. It looks good and I don't think it gives the mushroom head look. I think the glossy black helmet really looks cool with my black jacket! When you cinch the strap down tight the wind doesn't lift the helmet up even at 75 mph. I do wear earplugs to stop the wind noise. I just returned from a 1,587 mile trip using my new FX-70 Helmet and I'm really glad I purchased it for the trip. I had an FX-68 that was ok, but not nearly as comfortable as the FX-70. I would recommend this helmet to everyone.

Goodbye, Fearless Intern Corinna Loo!
Thankfully, we didn't trick fearless intern Miss Corinna Nicole Loo into thinking that the photo above we took of her, hard at work in the B/D offices, was for anything other than public consumption. (Apologies on tricking you for your 'goodbye post', Greg.) And yet, the smiles are all real my friends! Corinna can attest to the fact that slaving away night and day for the greater good of Beautiful/Decay is quite fun! During her stay here, she's done some great design work, blog posts (you can view her ouevre, as ze French say, here), humorous anecdotes about her two kitties (wearing sombreros) and of course titillating data entry….well, maybe that wasn't so titillating for her, but, nonetheless! Thank you for all your hard work and contributions to the B/D team, we know you will have a great impact both at UCLA and the design world….so, the start of another school year will wrest you from our firmly clenched claws, Miss Loo, but of course we hope you will return to us again soon. Some of Corinna's personal work after the jump!
You Need This Zine!

It's printed in an edition of only 100 so make sure to pick up your own copy now!

Good job to you Le Goff & Gabarra, keep 'em comin'!

Where to find Clivia
I'm new to Clivias. I'm wondering if the Box Stores carry Clivias? Maybe it's a certain season I need to be looking for them? I've heard people say Lowes, but I wasn't sure if it was bought recently. I know i can do mail order but wondered if i could find one in bloom. Thanks for info!
The good news is that we're moving into the time to be looking for them (bloom time). The bad news is that they're not that easy to find.
I saw a few at an upscale nursery here the other day. If you live in an area that Meijer stores are located, they often carry them in Feb/March. I've never seen them at Lowe's or HD.
Another option would be to look at small family nurseries - ones that don't clear out their stock with the seasons.
Now, that's for this area. If you live in California/west coast area you probably won't have as much difficulty.
If you do decide to mail order, feel free to contact me. There are a lot of dishonest (both with plant material and pricing) people out there.
I wanted to add that I live near Knoxville, Tn. So no chance in shopping in Ca :( And unfortunately there isn't a Meijer, that I'm aware of. There is a couple larger (for us) nurseries in town though. I'm going to check them out before ordering!! Thanks for the info!!
Hi teisa! I am around 1 1/2 hours away from Knoxville.
I have likewise looked around for clivias in this area before. Most of the local nurseries don't even know what a clivia is though...unfortunately. So this has led me to ordering them online, in and outside USA for the past years. Below is a link to pictures of the clivias I have acquired and made bloom here in my garden. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Here is a link that might be useful: Maria's Garden
Mariava, those are beautiful!! What city do you live in? I only have 1 right now and I didn't take pictures last year with my camera (only cell phone) but I will post it when it blooms this year. Thanks for showing yours! I hope to grow such beautiful ones someday.
Teisa: I've seen them for sale at Kroger this time of year. This is in a small town in Ohio, at a shore with a small floral department, so I would guess a larger store in Knoxville might carry them, or be willing to order one through their supplier.
The website for the North American Clivia Society has a list of links to legitimate sellers and sources of clivia information. I wouldn't buy a clivia through EBay (although there are some aboveboard sources there), but I have purchased from several members of NACS. Many plants are quite expensive, but you can get some special plants at decent prices if you buy them young. They will be head and shoulders above anything you find in a big box store.
Here is a link that might be useful: North American Clivia Society
I don't mind purchasing from eBay as not all NACS members or collectors maintain a website to show what they can offer. A lot of them would throw in on eBay their extra offsets/seedlings/seeds when they have any at a time that is convenient for them. I've seen and bought some clivias from NACS members, officers and board of directors from their ebay offerings. I purchased my very first yellows from eBayer sellers from California at reasonable prices and up to this day they still delight me with their flowers every spring.
Here is one of my Solomone Yellows with my grandbaby that I purchased from ebay 2/3 years ago...$25 plus shipping.

I wanted to add that I planted 8 seeds from my mother in laws plant. But I've read alot of posts, info on the Internet that talks about problems growing from seed. I'm afraid they won't survive.
I washed them thoroughly, soaked in peroxide, and planted in a mixture of orchid mix, perlite, bark. I just barely covered the seeds and put them in an enclosed container on a window sill. Does this sound like growing conditions needed for germination? Is there anything else I need to do?
Thank you guys, you have been very helpful!
Your approach sounds fine although I think most people just lay the seeds on top of the medium. I'd open up the container periodically to let fresh air in or even leave the top a bit ajar. Watch for fungal growth. It's the number one cause for failure (other than old seeds).
You'll want to observe, make appropriated changes as needed and it's how you'll gain experience. What works for one person, won't necessarily work for another.
Good luck and have fun!
Thanks again Gail. I will do as you instructed. If I do notice the seeds getting fungus... How do I take care of it? I really appreciate your offer for the plant come spring. I will gladly buy one from you. I appreciate the offer :)
The main plants I grow are Hoyas but I have fallen for the Clivia!

Compensating descant horns are rare. What sets compensating horns apart from standard doubles is weight. Because the air has to travel through the valves twice to play in the lower key (Bb), the valves need to be tight. With this horn the compression reading is 1.9, which is fabulous when you consider that the air has basically traveled through the equivalent of 10 valves. This horn is made of unlacquered red brass, has one small guard on the top of the horn where you pick it up. Perfect for that next B-minor mass gig. Red MB1 copy included. $3500
Compensating horns are an interesting beast. They depend on tight valves in order to play well. This one registers a 1.2 on the compression scale and is in fine condition, made out of red/gold brass. It includes an F extension valve and a Bb stopping valve. No longer made by Alexander, this model is rarely on the market and is a good choice for those Bach Cantatas. This horn was custom made for Tom Newell, who was the 3rd horn player of the Boston Symphony in the 1960s/70s, and has his name engraved on the bell. Own a piece of history. $5000. Alexander fixed bell case included.
A perfect chamber horn due to it's light weight, the Alexander Single Bb's are a delight to play. This one is made of nickel (very tarnished, due to a long period of storage) and is in quite fine condition. A good polish and you'll have a wonderful horn. The valve compression is great measuring a '1' across 5 valves (8 is the worst possible score). Alexander Fixed bell case is included.
Cost: $2850
The Alexander single Bb horn has much the same advantage of lightness that the single F horn offers. Single Bb horns are highly prized by "high" hornists because they can make strenuous challenges in opera or concert that much easier. Typically, single Bb horns will be found in chamber music and solo situations. This lacquered horn is in NEW condition, and sports an excellent 0.1 on the compression testing machine (the best possible score!!). This horn also has a stopping valve. Alexander fixed bell case included. $4500
Lidl style Amati Double French Horn - very unusual wrap, in excellent condition.
Cost: $1800.00
This Besson 702 double french horn combines the tone quality of an F horn in the middle and low register and the security of a Bb horn in the high register. It's an affordable alternative to a Chinese model, made by Lidl in the Czech-Republic. This horn reads a 2.1 on the compression testing machine. This horn is listed for over $2,000 new. No case included. $995
Conn8Ds are a staple horn in the American tradition, and this 8D is no exception. The horn is in good condition and registers a 1.3 on the compression meter. Conn detachable bell case included. $3800.
This reconditioned 28D is in excellent condition. The valves have been rebuilt giving it a compression reading of 1.2. It's got a new bell and leadpipe on it making this Elkhart 28D fully rejuvenated. Conn Fixed Bell Case included.
Cost: $4500
The Conn 6D has been a workhorse for almost 100 years in the horn playing world. Many pros used them early in their careers. This 6D is a perfect and affordable beginning double horn. The valves have pretty good compression and though the horn is full of dings it plays just fine. Don't waste your money on a rental instrument. Conn fixed bell case is included.
Cost: $1495.00

Apple tree leaf spot
I have yellow spots on my apple tree leaves. Does anyone know what it could be?
Cedar apple rust is everywhere in Virginia. There are many thousands of naturalized eastern red cedars throughout the state, and it seems there are more every year. The eastern red cedar (juniperis virginiana) supplies the infectious spores that land on your apple trees and cause the yellow leaf spotting.
But leaf spotting is the least of the problems that CAR can cause. If your apple trees are fruiting, the spores also land on the calyx end of the little apples, leaving a greasy yellow/orange substance, and often distorting the young apple. Infected apples will never grow up to be decent fruit, and many will rot and fall off. Never leave a young apple that has the slightest hint of CAR on the tree. Thin it off, since it will never amount to anything. If your trees are bearing age, look at your little apples very carefully to see if any of them have it.
CAR spreads in the early spring with wind-blown rains, and the spores can travel for miles on the air. Depending on weather conditions, CAR can be so bad it will wipe out an apple crop in some years, and in others it is not so bad. But you will always have some of it. If only your leaves are affected and not the fruit, you have a mild infection.
You must spray against this disease in early spring, before the spores arrive. I use a fungicide called Ferbam, but this is hard to obtain and many others are using a systemic fungicide called Immunox. Buy a sprayer if you don't have one, some Immunox, and get out there and spray on the sunny calm days that occasionally show up in early spring.
Where in Virginia are you located? I am in the far northeast corner.

I wish I had known what CAR meant when I planted my 2 new apple trees. I had seen it mentioned but never knew it meant Cedar Apple Rust. I live in southern Indiana, where cedars grow like weeds. Well over 50% of my wooded area grows in Eastern Red Cedar. My Golden Delicious already has yellow spots everywhere and I'm sure the Stayman's Winesap will soon follow. This is the first year in the ground, so I won't have fruit, can I still spray? Will this affect my sweet cherry tree?
Hi Apple20-
Really, I'm not sure it matters that you're woods are surrounded by cedars or not. Here, there are very few cedars (none on my property, and none anywhere else that I know of), yet the spores blow in from somewhere. Without spraying, my trees are hit very hard.
You're approaching the end of the time where spraying for CAR is effective. I'll still do one more spray here in 6b, but that's it. If you don't have Immunox on hand, then it's going to be tough to obtain and spray in the time allotted. Really, the lesson here is to be ready for next year. I was in the same boat last year.
Good luck!
When I first joined this forum, people told me to stay away from the Bonide Fruit Tree spray, but for a while, I didn't understand why, or have an alternative. For CAR, the alternative is relatively easy. Obtain some Immunox. (Not Immunox Plus which contains an insecticide not rated for fruit). Some people have found it at Lows. Others of us have bought it online. If you search for "Immunox Glenn", youÂll see that IÂve posted a link of where to buy it quite a few times. Why is Bonide Fruit Tree bad? 1.) It says it is effective on things which it is not. For example, it says itÂs effective against CAR, when itÂs only active fungicide, Captan is not (effective against CAR) I wasted a lot of time (and money) attempting to fight CAR with this crappy product. 2.) It contains fungicides/insecticides that you do not need/want. 3.) In the event that you did want those fungicides/insecticides, they are in too low of a quantity to do any good anyway. A better plan is to learn your individual diseases and insects pressures and spray for them accordingly. People here can help with that.
I'd like to point out that there is another fungicide out there that is just as effective, just to let you know there is another choice. It is called RALLY (used to be called NOVA) by Dow Agroscience. I believe it has the same active ingredient as Immunox (myclobutinil).
Here is a link that might be useful: RALLY
Your Stayman may well have pretty good resistance to CAR. Many varieties do, and on a list compiled by the very experienced Virginia appleman, Tom Burford, "old strain" Stayman is included.
Myclobutanyl will probably absolutely control CAR with an application a bit before bloom (during the period from half-inch-green through tight cluster), one at petal fall and one 10 to 14 days later. If you add hort-oil to the first spray and captan and Imidan to the next 2 you may well control all of your destructive apple pests. On the other hand you might not- but it sure works here in Z6 southeastern NY.
Mykl, you might want to double check that Rally label. It's supposed to be mixed at 1.5 to 2oz per 100 gal according to Cornell if it is the identical formula as Nova as I believe it is. I think it is more likely to be 5oz per acre (on average, depending on size of trees).
I meant a ratio of "ounce per", not exact mixing instructions of "1 ounce per".
Immunox is also not always "1 ounce per gallon" (my bottle is 1/2oz for apples, 1oz for roses and 2oz for grapes) but it is "per 1 gallon" not "per 100 gallons".
I think Rally is around 1 ounce per 100 gallons. The WSP are 5oz and I recall seeing 400-500 gallon tanks being mentioned. But it's not worth going back to the site to search for the label since I know the label was talking acres and hundreds of gallons.
Not exactly a good option for "help my apple tree has CAR", more suitable for "help my U-pick orchard has CAR".
I don't think a gardener is going to be able to mix .015-.02oz in their little 1 gallon sprayers.
Yup, no point in buying a lifetime supply, you're right about that. I premix a 5 0z bag with a gallon of distilled water and use a bit less than 2 cups to make a 25 gallon mix. Takes me about 3 days of spraying to use it up jumping from site to site. Seems to hold up well enough.
Its not that complicated. I mix a little less than a quarter teaspoon Rally per gallon of water to spray my tenth of an acre orchard for CAR. Its not an exact science since the dry volume and weight don't exactly match up.. For my backpack sprayer, thats almost 3/4 teaspoon for 3 gallons. Easy enough.
I could only buy it in the $80 packet size but it should last me 15 years or more.
I sprayed three times this spring. No CAR. Last year all my trees had it.
If cedar apple rust is a problem in anyone's area and if they feel that spraying would be a hassle, I would suggest cedar apple rust resistant varieties. I live in SE Nebraska and cedar trees are spreading like weeds, overtaking some pastures. I have thirteen different varieties of apple trees and of them four show little or no sign of CAR. They are Liberty, Wolf River, Sundance, and an old tree behind the house that for all I know, might be grown from seed. I have a windbreak north and west of my house with some cedars in it, but as it was pointed out earlier, the spores travel for miles. I am aware of other varieties that are CAR resistant, but have no experience with them.
Hi Todd-
I many ways, I agree with you. About half of the trees I grow: the 2 Liberties, Enterprise, Williams Pride, and even my 2 Granny Smiths are all CAR resistant. If I have a friend who we know wonÂt taking growing apples seriously (i.e. wonÂt spray, wonÂt educate themselves, or possibly want to be organic), then I will certainly recommend a Disease Resistant variety. But, what IÂve found with the people here on the board is that they do take growing seriously, and donÂt want to limit themselves to the resistant varieties. Because theyÂre spraying for other things already, itÂs not hard for them to mix in some Immunox or Ferbam to take care of the problem. IMO, if I can get a variety which is just as good as a non DR variety, then I might as well plant the DR variety. But some here lately have suggested that some of the more popular DR varieties arenÂt as tasty. Personally, I really like the Liberty flavor, but my taste experience is limited. With others here lately, LibertyÂs flavor has been questionsed: Some really like it, and some really dislike it. Williams Pride still has a very good rep in that department, but its harvest window is incredibly short.
Good to see a kindred spirit though!
Glen, I feel bad for criticizing your beautiful child. Liberty is a great apple. It may be of limited use being a poor storage apple and lacking the backdoor acidity that makes a good cooker- it can't be called a "complex" apple. But lots of people love the apple and I have a hunch that with a little more heat than I get here I'd like it more as well. I wish all the orchards I manage had at least one Liberty just so I could be sure at least one apple would have a heavy crop most every year.
Hi Harvestman-
No need to feel bad. On the contrary, you opinion (which was shared by a couple other posters) gives me a more balanced, and probably accurate, view of Liberty. Perhaps weÂll get a couple cool summers, and IÂll wonder what the heck I ever saw in it!
In addition to all the normal variables that affect an apple, (location, climate, soil, weather, etc), I think this is a good example of when we evaluate a particular apple (i.e. I like it/ I hate it), we see that not everyoneÂs criteria is the same: A) A commercial growerÂs #1 criteria might simply be the name any name that isnÂt recognized by the public might not sell well. B) Perhaps a moderately-apple-educated grower like found on this forum might have flavor to be their #1 criteria. They know how to care for apples, and they want the best possible product. C) Perhaps a home-grower might have low maintenance as their #1 criteria. After all, anything that they grow themselves will taste much better than anything found in the stores, and really, theyÂre too busy with work and taking the kids to soccer practice to worry about their apple tree. I think IÂm somewhere between B & C. Perhaps youÂre somewhere between A & B?
Anyhow, in the future, I really look forward to trying some of these really exceptional flavored ones that people keep talking about!
Thanks as always for all your advice (even when it isn't what I necessarily want to hear! :-) ),
Glen, actually I'm a commercial home grower with clients that are mostly in the B category, with the desire for quality and the ability to pay me to do the schlepping.
If they aren't all that picky to begin with, I try to turn them into fruit snobs or rather, fruit connesseurs (wish this system had spellcheck).
I am a commercial grower of fruit trees but I grow mostly trees whose fruit I personally love. This means I'm a little lean on the Mac-Cortlandt types of apples in my nursery. I crave the denser flesh types, sweet or tart.
Personally, IÂm not a fan of the sweeter apples and prefer the tart ones. Around here, in the tart arena, the orchards have mostly Macs, Courts, and even Liberty, and those are the only types I can compare to. (I admitted my experience was limited!) Possibly the AshmedÂs Kernel that I planted this year would fit into your dense flesh category? Any it is even CAR resistant so you know IÂm happy to plant it! It was a leap of faith, because IÂve never tasted it before. (And the guy who runs the local orchard had never heard of it). Since your close by, do you have other tart dense flesh recommendations that I might want to graft on? Maybe I can be a connoisseur too some day! Thanks,
Yes, Ashmead's is the quintesential, dense, tart with some sugar background, high brix type of apple I love. And best of all, it's real ugly. If you love it I'll recommend some similar types that store longer. In the commercial realm, Pink Lady is a dense flesh apple and one that stores forever, or as close as that as you can get from an apple. You probably have enough season to make it work as it is the last to ripen here and could probably go longer.
When I first came to NY, Macoun was my favorite apple and although it is a Mac type, I still consider it very good. I was originally hoping that Liberty would be like it but actually Williams Pride is more similar, though not as good as Macoun in my opinion. I think Macoun is a parent of both.
IF my notes are correct Macoun descends from McIntosh and Jersey Black, and Liberty from Macoun and a product of the Purdue disease resistance program. McIntosh I understand to be a child of Fameuse and Detroit Red. I don't have any notes regarding Williams Pride.
We (and especially my wife) love Macoun here. She loves McIntosh and I won't eat them unless they are just right. We both find Liberty to be excellent if you hurry, and I will claim to have made a good pie with Liberty.
I've grafted more Macoun as well as Fameuse to my Liberty. The Stayman's Winesap is bearing for the first time this year. Now I've added Rubinette, and have Supreme, Carousel, Sweet Sixteen, Haralson, Rhode Island Greening, State Fair, Fuji, Gala, Prairie Spy, Macoun, Yellow Delicious, and, of course, the Liberty setting fruit. Monark, Karmijn de Sonnaville, Pristine, Pixie Crunch, Holiday, and Wealthy were grafted this year or last, and so are waiting in the wings. Say what you like about Liberty, it does seem a willing and able host.
Good Night All!
I am eagerly awaiting AshmeadÂs ugliness, though I wonder if IÂll be able to convince others to get on board! I had considered pink lady, but I can just barely get Granny SmithÂs to ripen here, and PL ripens later than that. Therefore, I didnÂt want to risk a whole tree on it. But, I do believe IÂll graft one on. Our local orchard does have Macouns, and supposedly (according to their sheet anyway), they ripen at the same time as Liberty (Sept 15-30th). For the last 2 years, IÂve favored L over M, but IÂll give em another taste this year IÂm sure. What do you expect from a guy who fresh-eats cranberries, wild grapes, rhubarb, currents, and doesnÂt even mind the cheap wine if he has to. ThereÂs just no accounting for taste.
Here is what jon clements has to say about liberty- some interesting stuff.
Here is a link that might be useful: mr liberty
This is a very old thread but it seems that this Apple Cedar Rust probably effects young, newly planted trees that are trying to establish roots. I have one each of 7' 'Wal*Mart Red Delicious and Ozark. I also have 2 plums, 2 cherries, and 1 peach all trying to establish roots and from 3' - 7' tall and planted within the last month.
All are doing fine except the Ozark and although it is leafed out excellently and has good shape it is the only tree that has caught this Cedar Apple Rust.
Well there is one Holly Hock that has lower leaves that look to be affected on the property.
We've had 2 heavy soaking rains every week since May I'd say so humidity plays a role.
Oddly, a the newly planted Red Delicious within 20' of it is unaffected. I also checked the 9 apples (all getting close to 20 year old) at my mom's and none are affected although very rarely new growth in two or three spots were killed by fire blight.
There is something that gets some, not all of my mom's cherries with small brownish or yellowish 'spores' covering the cherry after they get ripe. Don't know what that is but if you get the cherry ripe in time they don't have those 'spore' things all over the cherry so we don't spray. She wouldn't even if we didn't get a single cherry anyway.

I agree with trishee below and am in the same age range. I have a highlighter I love best, but found this on clearance so decided to finally try it since its so well liked here. Mine seems to have a whiteish over spray that's cooler than the product beneath it. It looks fairly dark in the pan in some areas but still looks like a sheer, warm toned, light in shade, dewy not shimmery, highlighter on me. It reminds me a little of Nars Albatross but way less yellow.Yet ssimilar effect. Using a fan brush and light hand this is pretty, and like I said, dewy. If heavy handed as with most such products, you run the risk of looking like the Tin Man in a school production. This is also pretty down there nose and a little bit brushed lightly over dark brows to catch there light. Then take a fluffy brush you don't use anymore and brush a little on to your hairline too. It catches the light on dark hair so well but doesn't look like you've got any product on it. I first learned that trick with my more expensive highlighter but this works even better in that capacity, and there's a ton of product to play with because you only use a tiny bit on your cheekbones.

I am obsessed, obsessed with this! I love the compact, that it comes with a mirror and a brush. I use this to set my under eye concealer and as a highlight and it makes my skin look awake and glowing and natural without glitter or fakeness. I hope they never discontinue this because its my favorite highlighter!

I have very fair skin with warm undertones, NC15 in MAC, Deauville/Gobi in NARS. I purchased this as a bronzer. Something to warm my face up just a tad after I apply my foundation. This hits the nail on the head! It warms me up and gives the perfect glow for a no-makeup makeup look. I really like it, but I do fear it's causing some clogged pores where I apply it. I would definitely repurchase. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other colors as well. Be warned this IS VERY shimmery! It's not glittery at all, but very shimmery. Would be perfect as a highlight for someone with darker skin than I.

Awesome highlighter! Thats all i can say! I gonna admit, im very impressed with it. I bought a lot of illuminator, but this one, with only one swift in you cheekbones, cupids bow or in your inner corner of you eye, its gives the highlight without putting too much.. Awesome product

I was looking for a really shiny/glittery eyeshadow so I picked this up thinking I could use it in that way. I could, but it was way too pink. I tried it as a highlighter, but it was too pearlized. I think for the right person it would be good, but I prefer a more golden highlighter than a silver-based highlighter. I ended up taking this product back as I couldn't use it for the intended purpose and using it as a highlighter did not work for me. Not a terrible performing product, but just definitely not something I could use. Overall I would say it is average. There are better performing products for the price. The compact is also bulky. Could be much slimmer and streamline.

I have never used highlighter before so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect- I just knew I wanted something to give my face that extra glow. I picked this product up at Target. The price was a little more than I would have preferred but over all not too bad. I got the palest shade because I am fair skinned. I absolutely love it!
I do all of my make up like normal, then at the very end I use the brush they provided and just sweep a "line" so to speak over my cheekbones up to the corners of my eyes. It works like a charm! It gives my face a bright glow that is sexy and very soft. Its not too sparkley so I don't look like a teenager wearing glitter or something. It blends well with the foundation underneath and just looks natural.
Sometimes I brush it on if I'm in a hurry when I'm not wearing make up just for a quick pick me up.
A little tip- if I'm wearing low cut shirts I also brush some over my cleavage LOL.
Overall I would recommend this to others. My only complaint is that since you have to lift the tray to get to the brush, you end up spilling powder on your fingers or hand to get to the brush.

Ignore how shimmery this looks when you buy it. for some reason the top layer is coated with sparkles...just wipe this layer off and underneath is the perfect overall powder. I find its a little dark to use strictly as a highlighter and a little light to be used as a bronzer so I just quickly brush this all over my face and its pearly finish highlights where I want it to but super subtly bronzes the rest (most bronzers look too harsh on me) so this gives a bronzed look without going overboard.

I have never found a highlighter that I liked until now. My skin is fair and prone to oiliness, and most highlighters just leave me looking like an oil slick a few hours after applying. This is SO different. Truth be told, I only purchased this b/c it was on sale at CVS for $6.99. I think the price point for many PF products is too high, but that being said, maybe I am wrong, because this highlighter rivals much more expensive brands you might see at Sephora.
You get a large amount, enough to last a year, in a sturdy, beautiful package that looks expensive. I like that there are no actual "pearls" that can get messy/lost, just raised indentations in the powder. Now, don't be scared of how shimmery the product looks in the pan, because once it is applied, it leaves a luminous glow, not shimmery or glittery. It gives you a radiant, "glowing from within" complexion. Although it appears to be a light pink in the pan, it is colorless when applied. I use this on my cheekbones, brow bones, and also as a highlighter for the inner corner of my eyes. I even use this when I am otherwise bare faced, just lounging around the house, b/c it makes me look healthy and "glowy" rather than dull.
The effect is subtle in that I don't think anyone would realize you are "wearing" highlighter....but they will notice your glowing complexion!
Best highlighting product I have ever used!

I didn't like this product at all! I thought that I could use it for a highlighter or over my foundation for a nice "glow," but all it accomplishes is to make my face look shiny! It doesn't work for me as a highlighter at all--it doesn't even show up. I think that for the price (it is more expensive than my revlon colorstay foundation), it should be a better product! I would definitely not buy this again. In fact, I am starting to think that Physicians Formula makeup is just poor quality!

This is a really good highlighter, Especially for a drugstore brand! It's not glittery or filled with an overwhelming amount of shimmer like you see in the pan, It's actually a really nice subtle look when you apply it. I use it on my cheekbones and I would really say it gives a nice luminous effect. The compact is very sturdy and includes a little brush and mirror. The little applicator they include is almost like what Benefit gives with their boxed powders, it's very small and thin. Rather than using the brush it comes with I'd recommend using a fluffy brush to apply it, It'll also help spread of the powder rather than concentrating it in one spot. I feel like this would probably even work as an all over powder for a luminous finish over foundation, because if applied lightly it's very natural but can also be builded up for a more noticable highlight on cheekbones. At $14 it's a good deal :o)

Problems with lettering on keys

Comments about V7 KC0D1 USB Desktop Keyboard:
The keyboard had a missprint. The key that should have the < and , on it actually has < and ; on it. This is a problemn since I don't really know how to type and need to look at the keys. Even though I knew this was the , key it was still messing me up so I took a black marker and colored in the top of the ;. The other problem is that the letters on the keys that I use a lot are already fading after 1 1/2 days use.

Bike sharing programs are great, but pedaling up San Francisco's steep hills can be a pain. And car sharing is cool, but finding a parking space in the city can be tough. Enter Scoot Networks, an electric scooter-sharing service that will let you power up those hills and park virtually anywhere without using a drop of gas. The service, which is modeled after car-sharing businesses, launched today in San Francisco with a fleet of 60 vehicles. To use the scooters, users simply plug a smartphone into the dashboard, and a Scoot app on the phone activates the bike.
The company was launched by urban planner Michael Keating, who sought to create a solution to the difficulties of getting around a dense city like San Francisco. "I was trying to think of what could be both fast and cheap," Keating told the San Francisco Chronicle. And he found a solution while visiting China, where scooters are much more common than they are in the US. The scooters are easy to park, cheap to recharge, and best of all, they produce zero emissions. Each bike in Scoot's fleet is "so efficient, it uses half the power of your toaster to carry you all over town," says the Scoot website.
Initially, the company has made 60 scooters available at four locations in San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood. To use the service, users must sign up for a membership, which starts at $5 per month. Then, as with Zipcar and other vehicle-sharing services, they can reserve a scooter for $5 per hour (or $10 for the entire workday). And like Zipcar, insurance comes at no extra cost, and renters won't be required to get a motorcycle license (but you do have to wear a helmet).

So I have this hidden form and this 'I like this' button that I would like to insert into emails I send out.
<form method="post" action="http://someWebsite.com/he_likes_it">
<input type="hidden" name="who_liked" value="firstname.lastname@example.com" />
<input type="submit" value="I Like This" />
I can insert the button into my email just fine. So, whenever an email recipient clicks on the button in their email, a POST request with the form data is sent to my server letting me know who liked my email. However, clicking on the button also opens up the link (new browser window/tab, etc.) directing the users to my site. How do I prevent the clicking of the button from opening the link and only just send the data in the form to my server?
I want the like button to be unobtrusive. I don't want it annoying the email recipient by having a new tab open up. I know its possible with javascript, however, I'm pretty sure most email service provider escape javascript in emails as they should.

Pineapple Express - Hybrid
Descendant of Californias Pineapple, this strain is so good it has a movie named after it. This superbud tastes of pineapple, pine, and cedar. It is a hard hitting Sativa with a very energetic high that has a subtle citrus overtone.
Master Kush (Hybrid)
Extracted courageously from Afghanistan's Hindu Kush region, the Master Kush strain of marijuana is a variety that stays compact and is forgiving to the inexperienced marijuana gardener. It grows powerfully in just about any medium including coco, soil, hydroton, water and even air. When explored through toking, Master Kush cannabis presents a highly potent smoking experience that is sweet, citrusy, earthy and smoothed. The high will enliven your creativity, spark your passion for living - and increase your appetite.
Blueberry (Hybrid)
Blueberry is a mostly indica hybrid that provides a pleasant and long-lasting high when smoked. This marijuana has a sweet fruity smell and tastes like blueberries. Dutch Passion's version of Blueberry, which was derived from the original Delta 9 Collection, won first place in the 2000 High Times Cannabis Cup in the mostly indica category.
Jack Herer (Sativa)
Jack Herer is a prized sativa-dominant indica/sativa hybrid well known for both its cerebral high and its strong body high. The strain is a cross between Skunk #1, Haze, and Northern Lights #5. Jack Herer is the parent to many subset strains.
Jilly Bean - Hybrid
Like the name implies, this is a sweet, fruit flavored bud that tastes like a mix of jellybeans and pineapple. The Jilly bean strain is a mostly indica variety of orange velvet crossed with space queen. Jilly bean has a dark forest green color with some red hairs and lots of sticky resin. The high from this strain is mellow, giddy, and friendly. It%u2019s good for daytime use and can be used to treat depression and chronic pain.
Mango - Indica
Mangos parentage is part KC 33 and part Mango from a hippie fellow who grew it for 30 years, then let KC use it as a cross in 1991. It is a 100 percent indica strain that grows large and produces prodigiously. Dont let Mangos slow start fool you - this variety will eventually rival the impressive size of many KC varieties, which are especially intended for outdoor grows. If you want Mango to stay at an average size in an outdoor garden, allow only 3 weeks of vegetative time and transplant outdoors as late as July in Northern latitudes. Mango can also be grown in an indoor garden, but needs a lot of space.

I always wanted to stay in a room with a Jacuzzi, and my husband made it come true. Staying at the Hideaway Inn was more than just a room with a Jacuzzi. The beautiful decorated room with a peaceful outlook, plus friendly service of Hideaway staff made our honeymoon very memorable. We never thought there could be a gorgeous cottage like this in the middle of all the corn fields, but now we know. We will recommend Hideaway Inn to all our friends. Thank you so much for everything!!! Alyona - Columbus,Ohio " "

Party in the Park: The music is great, but sometimes it's all about the food, specifically pizza
CINCINNATI - For a fun Wednesday night in the summer, it doesn't get much better than Party in the Park at Yeatman's Cove.
Tri-State residents get to head down to Yeatman's Cove for free music along the riverfront. Rocking your summer Wednesday nights since 1976, Party in the Park routinely draws thousands of attendees.
After rain canceled previous week's Party in the Park, the fun was back on June 11. With music by The Menus, we thought it would be fitting to focus this photo essay on food--specifically pizza.
WCPO Contributor Cameron Knight spent the evening with the folks from Strong's Brick Oven Pizzeria , who brought their popular mobile brick oven to Yeatman's Cove to serve up a real crowd-pleaser.

Manuel Uribe (born June 11, 1965) is a man from Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, notable for suffering from morbid obesity to one of the greatest extents known in recorded history. After reaching a peak weight of around 597 kg (1,316 lb) and having been unable to leave his bed since 2001, Uribe lost approximately 181 kg (399 lb) (one third of his body weight) with the help of doctors and nutritionists, and by following the Zone diet. Uribe drew worldwide attention when he appeared on the Televisa television network in January 2006, but turned down offers for gastric bypass surgery in Italy.
Uribe has also been featured on The World's Heaviest Man, a television documentary about his bedridden life and attempts to overcome his obesity. By October 26, 2008, Uribe had reduced his weight to 360 kg (790 lb). His efforts to overcome his morbid obesity continue. As of February 2012, he weighs 200 kg (440 lb).
Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells in an effort to produce energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.
Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering, and agriculture. Today, most of the food energy consumed by the world population is supplied by the food industry.
The Zone diet is a diet popularized in books by biochemist Barry Sears. It advocates consuming calories from carbohydrates, protein, and fat in a balanced ratio.
The diet centers on a "40:30:30" ratio of calories obtained daily from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, respectively.]citation needed[
