Kinfolk Camping
|On-Site Campground
(photo Dorothy St. Claire)
Camping passes for the 2014 Kinfolk Celebration are no longer available.
The Kinfolk Celebration is all about celebrating the Kinfolk community. Though the music on the main stage will blow your mind both days, many of the most cherished memories will be made in the campgrounds – a special breakfast feast with neighbors, sharing drinks outside a friend's tent, picking a few tunes late into the night. These are the friendships that define the Kinfolk experience. For many - we have camping space for nearly half the Kinfolk Celebrants - the campground scene is the Kinfolk Celebration.
A note about the Thursday night Mabon Concert... Admission to Adam and Ben's intimate duo set in the Wildflower Pavilion on Thursday evening is included for everyone with onsite campground wristbands. No other tickets will be sold to the Mabon show. To honor the intimate spirit of this special show (which Adam and Ben have been performing since 2007), only onsite campers will be admitted onto the grounds for this show.
Planet Bluegrass Campgrounds
- Location: On the Planet Bluegrass Ranch - fields on both the north (tents only) and south sides (tents and vehicles) of the Festival grounds
- Vehicles: A very limited number of vehicles (up to 21 feet in length) are allowed on the south part of the on-site campground with the appropriate vehicle pass
- Opens: Thursday, September 18 @ 4pm.
- Closes: Sunday, September 21 @ Noon.
- Camping Pass: $130 per person
Price includes 2-day Kinfolk Celebration pass and admission to the Mabon Concert
Special note: Your camping pass for the On-Site Campground serves as your ticket to the special Thursday night Mabon show in the Wildflower Pavilion featuring Adam Aijala & Ben Kaufmann. No other tickets will be sold to the Mabon concert.
- Location: 2 blocks from the festival grounds, along the North St. Vrain River.
- Vehicles: Passes for vehicle under 18 feet ($40); and RVs over 18 feet ($50) are available.
- Opens: Friday, September 19 @ 9am.
- Closes: Sunday, September 21 @ Noon.
- Camping Pass: $30 per person
Does NOT include a Kinfolk Celebration pass
A few rules before you put your stakes in...
|Adam & the Kinfolk Community
(photo Dorothy St. Claire)
- CAMPING IS SOLD PER PERSON AND PER VEHICLE, NOT PER SITE. If there are two of you and you want to have your vehicle or RV at the campground with you, you must purchase two camping passes and one vehicle or RV pass in addition to your Kinfolk Celebration passes.
- If you don't need your vehicle at your campsite – for sleeping or for storage – you don't need a campground vehicle pass. Most festivarians don't purchase a vehicle pass. You can temporarily drive in to the campground to unload your gear, then purchase parking (approximately $5 for the entire weekend) at Bohn Park - including a free shuttle to the Festival. Check out the Planet Bluegrass map for a general layout of Lyons and our campgrounds.
- Free showers are available inside the Planet Bluegrass Ranch in the Bath House.
- Fires are not allowed in any campgrounds.
- All campgrounds close at noon on Sunday, September 21.
- If you plan to arrive before Thursday afternoon for on-site camping, please see the rules for the on-site camping line.

The unemployment rate is not directly tied to the number of people receiving unemployment benefits. To determine the unemployment rate, the government conducts a survey. People are asked if they are working. If they are not working, they are asked if they are seeking work. The unemployment rate is the percentage of people seeking work among the total number of people working or seeking work.

In response to metropark1 and VeuveNoire, you're both probably right. The Cleveland NWS stats are from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Traces of snow were reported there, for example, on May 2-4, 2005. It very likely may have snowed more elsewhere in the region on those dates, as well as others.
-- Rich Exner, The Plain Dealer
Based on the 2008 population estimate of 17,086 people for Avon, there were 819 people per square mile. This is an increase from 548 people per square mile in 2000 when the population was 11,446.

This posting has nothing to do with state or local taxes. The stats are for federal taxes only, those filed by people living in Ohio.

The Census Bureau does estimates each year. The official count occurs every 10 years.

In response to the above comments, I checked with a veteran OT. Her opinion is that the file photo I used is more likely to be that of an OT, but that there are PTs who specialize in this type of hand work.

To expand the information as it is related to the comments posted above by "nonsense" and "Mr. Zamboni," here is the list of all the questions in shortened form (the actual wording can be found by clicking the link next to the graphic). These are the only questions being asked in this year's Census.
1. Number of people living in the house?
2. Any additional people staying in the house April 1 who were not included in your answer to No. 1?
3. Own or rent?
4. Telephone number in case the Census needs to follow-up to verify an unclear answer.
5. Names of the people living in the house.
6. Male or female?
7. Age?
8. Hispanic?
9. Race?
10. Do you sometimes live elsewhere?
-- Rich Exner, The Plain Dealer
To follow up on the comment from ss15:
I don't have all the current numbers handy, but earlier I ran a check on snow after Feb. 16 each year. On average, Cleveland gets 18.5 inches after Feb. 16. The range was from 5.2 inches in 1978 to 54.2 inches in 1993.

Responding to Curious. I don't have a link for the NWS, but here's a link where you will be able to find the season snow stats since 1968.

Here is the latest population estimate from the Census Bureau for the 8-county Cleveland-Akron metro area, and what it was for the 2000 Census:

fda4ever. Thanks for pointing out the missing game. It has now been added to the list. -- Rich Exner, The Plain Dealer
Responding to stish: I could have referred to the area precisely for what it is for the purpose of Census stats - the Cleveland-Akron Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area. (The Census Bureau includes the eight listed counties in this area.) But that's not very reader friendly. Sure, Youngstown could be counted as part of Northeast Ohio, and and so could Erie County a little bit to the west. But you have to draw the line somewhere. Such definitions are subjective. That's why I also listed the counties included.
-- Rich Exner, The Plain Dealer
The dealer gave you the correct answer. You pay the tax where the vehicle will be registered, not where you purchased it. This is different than for other retail sales.
-- Rich Exner, The Plain Dealer
Here are the sales tax amounts (and tax savings) for making a $1,000 purchase in one of the Cuyahoga's six neighboring counties instead of making the buy in Cuyahoga:
*Cuyahoga $77.50 sales tax
*Lorain, Portage $67.50 sales tax ($10 lower)
*Medina, Summit, Geauga $65 sales tax ($12.50 lower)
*Lake, $62.50 sales tax ($15 lower).
Of course, for some people depending on where they live, the savings could be wiped out by extra driving costs or delivery charges.
-- Rich Exner, The Plain Dealer
The city does not get a share of the sales tax money, but the sales tax returns are an indication of slips in other revenue...such as income tax collections from fewer or lower paid workers in the down economy.
-- Rich Exner, The Plain Dealer
Here is a link showing the sales tax rate in each Ohio county. http://tinyurl.com/y35p68 Ohio charges 5.5 percent and the counties have their own add-ons. Cuyahoga's rate (including the state's 5.5) is highest at 7.75 percent. The most common rate is 7 percent. This means it costs an extra 75 cents to buy something for $100 in Cuyahoga County than in one of the 44 counties with a rate of 7 percent.
-- Rich Exner, The Plain Dealer
The low temp that day in Cleveland was 27 degrees, though I'm not sure at what time. The high for the day was 43 degrees. http://www.cleveland.com/datacentral/index.ssf/2008/09/cleveland_weather_history_find.html
That was the only 90-degree October day in Cleveland since 1900.

I am 28 years old and I have never fasted a whole Ramadaan in my life. But now I intend to fast this year in sha Allaah. How should I make up for the fasts that I have missed?.
Fasting Ramadaan is one of the pillars of Islam, and it is not permissible for one who is required to fast not to do so, unless he has an excuse. Whoever does not fast due to a legitimate shar'i excuse, such as sickness, travelling or menstruation, and is able to fast, has to make up the missed fasts, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Sawm (fasts) must be made up] from other days"
[al-Baqarah 2:185]
The one who deliberately does not fast with no excuse is not like one who has an excuse in this regard.
If a person delays an act of worship from the time when it is due, such as prayer or fasting, with no excuse, it is not valid and will not be accepted if he does it after the time specified for it in sharee'ah is over.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked:
What is the ruling on a Muslim who did not fast Ramadaan for many years although he did all the other duties required of him, and he has no reason why he should not fast. Does he have to make up those fasts if he repents?
He replied:
The correct view is that he does not have to make up those fasts if he repents, because with regard to every act of worship that is prescribed at a specific time, if a person delays it beyond that time deliberately with no excuse, Allaah will not accept it from him. So there is no point in making them up. But he has to repent to Allaah and do a lot of righteous deeds. Whoever repents, Allaah accepts his repentance.
Majmoo' Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 19, question no. 41
This is the ruling on one who does not fast and has no excuse for that, i.e., he did not have any intention of fasting and he did not start fasting at all.
With regard to one who starts a fast, then during the day he breaks the fast, he has to make up that day.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about the ruling on breaking the fast during the day in Ramadaan with no excuse.
He replied:
Breaking the fast during the day in Ramadaan with no excuse is a major sin, which makes a person a faasiq (rebellious evildoer). He has to repent to Allaah and make up the day when he broke the fast. This means that if he fasted then during the day he broke the fast with no excuse, then he is a sinner, and he has to make up that day when he broke the fast, because when he started the fast it became binding upon him to complete it, as in the case of a vow. But if he deliberately did not start to fast at all with no excuse, then he does not have to make it up, because that will be of no benefit to him, for it will never be accepted from him. The basic principle with regard to every act of worship that is connected to a specific time is that if it is delayed beyond that time with no excuse, it will not be accepted, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever does an action that is not in accordance with this matter of ours will have it rejected." And this is a transgression of the sacred limits of Allaah, and transgressing the sacred limits of Allaah is zulm (wrongdoing), and the wrongdoer's deeds are not accepted. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And whoever transgresses the limits ordained by Allaah, then such are the Zaalimoon (wrongdoers)"
[al-Baqarah 2:229]
If he did this act of worship before the time for it began, it would not be accepted from him, and by the same token if he does it after the time for it is over, it will not be accepted from him, unless he had an excuse.

Bickley and Marotta
Comical passing of Super Bowl torch
NEW YORK - The Super Bowl is now imitating the Olympics. For the third consecutive year, the league staged a "torch-passing" ceremony between current and future host cities. This one delivered many laughs.
One one side, big-dog politicians from New York and New Jersey woofed about the success of the cold-weather Super Bowl. Jets owner Woody Johnson said that the region was true to the sport, that football should be served cold. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said New York-New Jersey proved it should host a Super Bowl once every 10 years.

I'm gonna take the other side on this. Personally, I hate the Isle. I think it is a poor representation of the rest of the game, and you miss out on so much lore and history of the races if you do the isle versus the regular starting areas. Yes, the gear isn't as good, but I'd rather be an escaped slave trying to stop an invasion (the orc/goblin starter storyline) or an interdimensional hunter tracking a devious prey (kurashasha starting area. [think I spelled it wrong]) then some generic hero on the isle.

I do not believe this one will be any exception. SOE doesn't care about this game, they will not put money into it, or fix it. Which is sad because it is such a good game.
It is the same as DAoC, could be great again if you tossed some money and dev love it's way, but that isn't ever going to happen.
I just hate feeling like I am playing a game waiting to die. So I will have to pass for now, unless you guys can make SOE raise an eyebrow, force them to give VG some more devs and a larger budget for bug fixes and the likes.
If you pull that off though, I will resub and join you all.
I do not know how long this will last, but i am just enjoying the expierence. Frankly i have been reading some of the next gen games and they all are following a more forgiving angle over a challenge (more like wow, eq 2). I am not a fan of pvp so a rich PVE game is what i am looking for. I know LOTRO does that but just something in it i do not enjoy (the entire depressing thing i think is what it is). I plan to play till they shut this game down.
One week of 100 plus returning players will not make any changes ... 6 months of 2000 returning and new players could raise an eyebrow @ 14.99 a month x 2000 = 179,880, that is enough to get some more developers ... Try not to think of the 100 and hope for 2000, keep word of mouth going.
For the record, this game does not give you everything on a silver platter, the Quest Tracking system is still broken in some areas and it is buggy, but it is rich in lore and unique in combat, tradeskilling, and Diplomacy spheres.

In the case with VG though it is political, SOE I do not believe will ever put enough effort into VG that it could rival EQ2. I really wish VG would get sold off to another company so that it might see some good updated material.
Since you guys are so passionate about it, I will more than likely resub this weekend and see how this lil project is going.
SOE Bought it to make a quick profit and I think McQuaid pulled a few favors with Smed. The other thing is that it is a Direct Compettion to EQ2 ... but EQ2 has changed so much compared to when it was release that the only thing the games have in common are that they are Fantasy and they are owned by sony.
If you resub, re roll on Seradon, wifey and I are there. However Tonight and Tomorrow are WoW nights (RL Friends) hehe.

I can agree that the individual starter areas have a more robust story and are very interesting. But the problem is that if there are not people there to appreciate it or if players start there and feel like they are alone in the world then in the long term nothing good comes of it other than "yeah, tried the original starter areas, cool story but only saw a few people so I let my sub end".
Yet the island seems to have this sort of camaraderie goign when it's full. It feels like a robust mmo experience in regards to population. Again, when full.
The only issue is that players then get into the real world and don't see the same number of people in the same area and they become dissapointed. Though I believe the rift keeper indicates that it is a large world and then suggests a few places.
lately I've been seeing a lot of people aroun veskal's exchange and I think people who know the game are advising players to go there. I know I have.
It's a huge world and in the end if one wants to enjoy the starter stories they can still do that and roll an alt. Or just see if you can do it on your regular character, xp might not be good of course.
But the isle is sort of a double edge sword. You get more player interaction but it isn't as interesting as other areas.

That is just my opion and we all know what THAT is good for!
I think I posted this earlier. If you want to try a fun experiment. Take a group of close plyaers who all play about the same time. All of you agree that 1 time per week you will get together on a certain character and play at a specific time.
If you can get 6 people to do this, it is like a DnD PnP setting. Lots of fun going through the different areas and playing together. We did it with a group out in the remote parts of the Half Giant area.
Lots of fun, very little competition for spawn and drops for questing. Very interesting story and a blast for Role Play! Being in a group like that will level you up quick even if only playing 1 time a week. It does take a commitment though and players can go up in other spheres ( crafting and Diplomacy ) if they play more than the others, or play an alt.
Say hello, To the things you've left behind. They are more a part of your life now that you can't touch them.

I haven't resubbed with the attitude of changing the development of SOE, tbh I just don't think that is a realistic objective and will ultimately result in dissapointment. Play it for what it is, with a good group of people all starting from scratch and plenty of conversation, a generally enjoyable game with plenty to do, that will do me. I'll enjoy it while it lasts and when/if it ends I'll play something else.
I play the game because the community is fantastic and the game has more depth than just dungeon crawling.

Unfortunately, you may be right. Many have said the only thing that can save the game now is for the current population to convince enough to subscribe that SOE changes their mind. A huge long shot. Probably won't happen. But, at least an attempt is being made, and even if the doors close on VG, at least I'll have one last shot to play VG as intended with a large active guild before the lights are out.
So, maybe you're right. Perhaps what we are saying is, 'this may be your last chance'. Like going to the last game of your favorite sports team before they move cities.
In any case, the rumor is that EQnext or EQ3 is more likely to try and improve upon VG as a base, rather than EQ2. And that is encouraging. If it weren't SOE, it might even be down right exciting.
edit: i wish i could teach myself to just say 'QFT'.

SOE is a company that is essentially business first. They will put their money where they can hope to make the most profit and ride the wave of whatever trend is happening at the time.
Vanguard is not new and shiny.
But you know, I have watched mini-series knowing that they would end and have gone to amusement parks knowing I would have to come home eventually.
I play the game for what it offers me now. I don't require much else.
As far as the whoel EQ 3 thing that is a rumor started from players.
I can't tell you have man y times I've seen players post "EQ 3 should take the best of Vanguard and EQ and EQ 2" or some such iteration.
So that's where that rumor comes from. It's just a large game of telephone.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool have made their seventh signing of an extravagant summer after completing a deal for rising Spanish star Javier Manquillo.
And an eighth capture will swiftly follow as the Reds inch closer to thrashing out an agreement over their chief defensive target of the summer, Sevilla's exciting left-back Alberto Moreno.
Boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed on Saturday he has put in place a two-year loan deal for Manquillo, who has represented Spain youth sides at every level up to U20.
But the agreement also offers the option of making the move permanent next summer, for a fee of around £5million and add-ons that have yet to be finalised.
Manquillo is regarded as a potential successor in the national side to Juanfran, who is his senior team-mate and keeps him out of the team at Atletico Madrid.
At just 20, Liverpool see him as a young right-back with potential who can provide back-up to Glen Johnson and offer competition for places as he develops.
But it is Moreno, 22, who has aroused the excitement of the fans, with the left-back now seen as the next in line for his country after impressing in his three full caps so far and so very nearly making the World Cup squad.
The Reds hope to complete the deal early this week, and will make an initial down-payment of around £12m for a player who was in Spain's initial party for Brazil, before being left out of the final cut.
If that brings Liverpool's summer signings to eight, after the captures of Rickie Lambert, Emre Can, Adam Lallana, Lazar Markovic, Dejan Lovren, Divock Origi and Manquillo, then Rodgers hopes there will be one final flourish before he puts away his cheque book.
He is still working to sign a striker.

This is a custom tutorial for making your own RCA (aux cable) to TRS end (the same on on your headphone jack).
Why make this? - you can hook up your mp3 or laptop to your surround sound system.
Okay! so let's get started
Why not just buy it in store? - You are always free to do so, but in some regions it is hard to find stores that will sell these types of things, especially if you live in a less urban area. Some stores also can charge a fairly large amount of money for such an easy project. Plus this is really fun and you can feel proud you did something.
Step 1: Get a regular RCA to RCA cable
An aux cable works well too, just the yellow end should be unused since it is for video, and we're dealing with audio.
The next thing you will need is a 3.5 mm jack. I got this by trimming the end off my broken headphones with scissors.
Step 3: Strip the wire off the large protective casing
You can do this with a wire stripper, but scissors works perfectly well.
Now once it is stripped you should have two wires, a white and red one along with some copper wire hanging out from each
Step 5: Strip the red and black wire so that it is exposed
This should expose the copper wire from inside the colored wires
Step 6: Sodering
If you have a special TRS casing then continue with this step. If you do not, then do the next step only.
In the picture above is a 3.5 mm jack. What you must do if you have this jack is the solder the white wire to the center of the jack, the red to the outer more larger side, and join the two other copper wires to each other and solder it to the longest sleeve of the jack. Refer to the picture for more help.
Right cable is usually red
Left cable can very(whte, green blue)
Other is copper wire
These cables are available from the "Dollar Tree" stores (at least in the United States) for $1.
in the united kingdom, most pound/bargain shops sell these, and they are better quality than a handmade one...
Yes it would, but many times the color wiring are different for each headphones. In order to see which color is which, you would need to see the soldered parts, which is usually hard to see. The regular wiring colors are copper to ground, red to right and blue to left. My headphones; for example, had 4 wires and copper wire, so its sometimes can get difficult. If someone could correct me if in wrong in some parts that would be great :)
XD Thanks! I'm not that great at this myself but thanks. If your system works I want some pictures if you don't mind.

A Louisville woman was killed in a fiery crash on Interstate 64 in Shelby County Wednesday when she was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer, which started a chain reaction with four cars.
The driver of the rig has been arrested for reckless homicide.
Kentucky State Police say that Doris E. Wise, 71, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which involved five vehicles; three other people sustained minor injuries.
With less than a week remaining before Tuesday's Primary Election, a few candidates will head to Shelby County looking to talk to voters and share their platform.
And with no local elections drawing attention, voter turnout is expected to be low, despite a tight four-man race for the Republican nomination for Governor.
The Ramada Inn in Shelbyville is looking to grow and add a dining option.
The current facility, in Breighton Business Park south of Interstate 64 by Exit 32, features 68 rooms a fitness center and an indoor pool. And developers are now submitting plans to the Triple S Planning Commission that call for an additional facility to be built adjacent to the structure with 30 additional rooms and a restaurant.
The commission meets Tuesday at the Stratton Center, 215 Washington Street in Shelbyville.
Bagdad Day
WHAT: the 23 annual celebration of the Bagdad community
WHEN: beginning at 7:30 a.m., Saturday
WHERE: Centered at Bagdad Baptist Church, 5790 Elmburg Road
PARADE: 10 a.m.
A vacant Shelbyville property is ready for a second chance or, better yet, a fourth chance at becoming a prominent business in Shelbyville.
Formally a Winn-Dixie, the 42,000 square-foot-building at 120 Midland Boulevard adjacent to Tractor Supply and Hardees, has long sat unoccupied, but developers see it as ripe for development.
It's been more than two years since it was last publically discussed but Shelbyville Municipal Water Manager Tom Doyle confirmed that plans to build a new downtown water tower are still moving forward.
"It's under design and it should be ready for bidding in the next few months," Doyle said. "So it's moving forward.
"It's an ongoing project and looking to be completed in 2016, everything is going well. We're just real busy and have a lot of things going on."
With the May Primary Election just around the corner, Shelby County Democrats kicked off their campaign season with an annual dinner renamed this year for Shelby County's own famous Democrat.
The Martha Layne Collins Dinner drew many Democratic candidates and dignitaries from around the state, all of whom spoke favorably of the dinner's namesake, who was in attendance.
The hot topic of random drug testing for student athletes returns to this week's Shelby County Board of Education meeting and this time the agenda calls for more than just discussion.
When the board meets Thursday at 6:30 at the Shelby County Education Center at Cropper, , 8472 Cropper Road in Pleasureville, the board will consider the approval of a one-year drug testing pilot program.
Shelbyville Mayor Tom Hardesty announced Thursday that the city expects to once again stay in budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
However, the projected revenue for the upcoming year is set at just more than $8 million while the expenses are estimated to exceed that number at $9.3 million.
This year, the city carries forward a $3.9 million balance and, with the desire of closing out the budget with a $3.8 million balance, the budget includes an interfund transfer of nearly half of that – $1.2 million– from a reserve account.

I've had a quite a few requests asking how to make Blue Chamomile Face Cream without the sodium borate. I finally got around to experimenting and must say that I LOVE this new version made with stearic acid (a natural thickener) even more so than the original!
Before starting, make sure to sterilize all utensils, bowls, beaters, and jars – I use the sanitize cycle on my dishwasher.
Because this cream contains herbally infused water and no chemical preservatives, the shelf life will be much shorter compared to store-bought creams. Store this cream in the refrigerator between uses to help extend shelf life a bit.
First you'll want to gather some of the following herbs to create an infusion, remembering you can substitute ingredients or change the amounts or use dry/fresh depending on what you have on hand. I like growing as many of these as I can, but for ones I don't/can't, I like to buy from Mountain Rose Herbs or Bulk Herb Store. You'll want a teaspoon or so of each (dried) or a generous pinch of each (fresh). Some herbs that work well in this cream:
- lavender buds
- plantain
- calendula flowers
- comfrey leaves
- lemon balm leaves
- chamomile
- rose petals
- violet leaves
Place these items in a mason jar and pour simmering hot distilled water over them. Immediately cover with a saucer to retain the vapors. Let this steep while you gather and prepare the rest of the ingredients. I find that about 45 minutes to an hour is a sufficient time to get the benefits, without too strong of a scent, but you can steep this overnight if you wish.
Place the following in a heat-proof measuring cup with ounce markings:
- 1 TBSP Jojoba Oil
- 1 TBSP Meadowfoam Seed Oil
- 1/2 TBSP Tamanu Oil
Then add enough sweet almond oil or infused olive oil (I used half sweet almond, half violet leaf infused olive oil for this batch) until it measures 3 ounces.
Add 1 1/2 ounces of shea butter. (You can add chunks of it into the liquid oil until it is pushed up to the 4 1/2 ounce mark if you don't have a scale.)
Next add 1/2 ounce beeswax pastilles (again, add until liquid oil is pushed up to 5 ounce mark on measuring cup if you don't have a scale) and 2 Tablespoons of stearic acid.
Set the heat-proof measuring cup with all of these in it into a pan of almost simmering water until melted.
Remove from the pan and let cool to body temperature. (Test with clean finger.) While the oil is cooling, strain the herbal infusion into a heat proof glass and set it down in the pot of water that has been removed from heat. This helps it warm up to body temperature.
Pour 4 ounces of the slightly warmed herbal infused water slowly into the oil while beating with an electric mixer. Mix on highest speed for about 15 minutes, adding the following essential oils during the last 30 seconds or so:
- 2 to 6 drops of Bergamot (optional – for scent only; also avoid this oil if you will be using as a day cream since bergamot can make your skin more sensitive to the sun)
- 15 drops Balsam Peru
- 15 drops Lavender (add a bit more for stronger scent if desired)
- 4 to 8 drops Ylang Ylang (optional – for scent only, add more or less as desired)
- 5 drops Carrot Seed
- 20 drops Blue Chamomile
You can buy all of these essential oils HERE at Mountain Rose Herbs.
The cream will start to emulsify after about five minutes, but will still be runny – keep beating! By ten minutes, it will look nice and thick, but still drop off of a spoon. You will need to beat another five minutes and by then you should have a nice, thick cream that stays on the spoon even when you turn it upside down. NOW, it's ready!
Spoon into jars leaving as little air space as possible and cap tightly. Remember how perishable this is, so make small batches that can be used up within a month or two. Sterilize everything your ingredients will touch, use clean fingers or a small sterile spoon for scooping out of the jar, and keep the finished product refrigerated.
When you first put this cream on, it seems a little thick – just rub it in and give it a few minutes. It will soak it and leave your skin so smooth and soft. This is definitely one of my most loved items!

|Transencapsidation of PSTVd
The aphid Myzus persicae (Sulz.) was shown to transmit potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) to potato clone DTO-33 from source plants doubly infected with potato leafroll virus (PLRV) and PSTVd. Transmission was of the persistent type and did not occur when the insects were allowed to feed on singly infected plants. Only low levels of PSTVd were associated with purified PLRV virions, but its resistance to digestion with micrococcal nuclease indicates that the viroid RNA is encapsidated within the PLRV particles. Epidemiological surveys carried out at three locations in China revealed a strong correlation between PSTVd infection and the presence of PLRV, suggesting that PLRV can facilitate PSTVd spread under field conditions.

I have had no problems with my duet card as yet. I pay monthly direct debit. I can use it in a number of shops such as mandco, JJB sports, Brantanno. I can view my account on line. I can also use this card to get cash. It is a little like a credit card and you sometimes receive offers with the statement. The only downside that I have found is that my on line account was blocked when I cancelled my card and I could not make a payment on line until my new card had arrived. Payments can still be… Read Full Review

I set up a direct debit to make my payments and every month for nearly a year they charged me an additional £20 late payment fee despite they were late collecting it... needless to say my account went into arrears, they then started charging me an additional £12 for over limit fees and then more money for legal letters....

These cards are only good for two things . One helping with cash flow to wards the end of the month and two getting in store discounts. Use them only when you realy need to and pay them within two weeks. If you don't know if you'll have the money or remember to pay it off then don't use it. Don't look at them as a credit card in the traditional way. Never ever miss a payment in full. Paying interest on shop purchases is for people that don't care that they could get a bad credit rating.

Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., had another productive fundraising period, putting further pressure on state Treasurer Richard Mourdock to show that he can keep pace in the money chase.
Lugar's campaign announced the incumbent raised $840,000 during the third quarter and finished the period with over $3.8 million in the bank. Mourdock, who has struggled to raise money so far, has not yet released his third quarter figures. Mourdock ended the second quarter with just $214,000 in the bank.
"We are confident that our 3Q receipts will be greater than our 2nd quarter figures when we file with the FEC next week," said Mourdock spokesman Chris Conner.
Meanwhile, national Tea Party group FreedomWorks is expected endorse Mourdock later this month, according to sources. FreedomWorks PAC announced Friday it will be making an October 21st announcement in Indianapolis regarding the Senate race, but the group has not specified what the nature of the announcement is.
Over time, Mourdock has earned the backing of other national Tea Party and conservative groups and figures including the Tea Party Express and former Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle. But none of the endorsements will mean much unless they translate to an uptick in the Republican's fundraising pace.

wow, you must be a very young sharp knife because whatever the content of your comments it seems you don't have a way to express your opinion without resorting to immature outbursts off and on throughout the comment. That won't get you too far, but it will make any valid and/or true points you have void due to the delivery of your message. I am guessing that you will respond with criticizing me, but if you want to be heard and taken seriously then I would seriously consider your method of making your points and giving your opinion. All the childish outbursts void anything worthwhile . Just an observation.
I know everyone is going to make comments about how wonderful that the event is back to the parks and how the airport was no place to hold the event. I too agree that the park is more scenic venue to hold the event, is it as practical as it was havinf it at the airport?.....the answer is NO.
The problem with the parks is space. A hot air balloon does not have a steering wheel nor an engine, they operate on lift and the steering is limited by wind direction at different altitude. A hot air balloon is suppose to have 100 ft for every 1 mph of wind from its tallest obstacle upwind. With the heighth of the trees and the size of the park it will be crowded and cause a congested launch area for the balloons.
On another note in years past the spectators would park for miles around and walk in for free (which is why the event had to move to airport) which effected the event in 2 ways. First it caused a loss of revenue putting the event in financial ruins forcing the committee to either A) end the event or B) move the event to another location where the revenue through gate admissions could be more secure to help save the event, thus being one of the reasons for the original move to the airport.
The other issue with the congestion of the park is SAFETY, safety for the balloonist, spectators and the balloon crew. In the past events at the park it would sometimes take the balloon crew up to 30 minutes to get through the crowd to go chase the balloon let alone the traffic congestion on the roads outside of the park that followed from spectators who left the park to chase the balloons after they lifted off from the park. If a balloonist had an in flight emergency and needed the assistance of theirground crew the crew might not be able to be there due to the large crowd in a small area making it difficult to exit the park.
We will not be attending the event this year since we will be out of town, However, we wish the HAJ, its sponsors and all the volunteers a very succesful event and we are glad to see it is downsized to accomodate the size of the launch field. However, I wish the citizens of Jackson better understood why the event was originally moved to the airport instead of dwelling on the fact that the event left the parks. Without the move the event would have ended many years ago. it was not just a move for financial reasons but also SAFETY. So please commend the organizers who were faced with the tough decision years ago to keep the event going.
Just waiting to see when former roommate show up on this page , maybe the court officers will finally get her what she deserves... tip: don't steal, lie, don't pay your rent/utilities, and ruin your friend's house you are renting from and leave your address the same. The court officers show up and after the hell we were put through and money cost for damage, you bet the new address, work place, and even pictures printed off fb might accidentally fall into their hands!
I have heard of this man, nothing but good things. I wish he were my neighbor too~
I'd like to share with others how impressed and thankful I am for the emergency care given to my cat by both doctors, Dr. Howe and Dr.Bouvererette over the past two days. I am new to Jackson and had to get my cat into a veterinarian immediatly. Most places were able to squeeze him in within a couple day, but when your cat is acting as if he had a stroke and needs immediate care I was fearful that nobody would get to him in time. Finally I reached the right place. I was happy that I could come in that moment, but I never expected to have experienced the best care for my cat that I've ever had. Crossroads staff all were amazing. I showed up crying, soaked jeans from cat loosing control on ride in, and an emotional mess who thought this was the end of my little friends life. Not only did Dr. Howe provide extremly good medical care to my cat, but he also cares enough to take care of the owner's needs. I experienced the same amount and high standard of care from Dr. Bouvererette who we followed up with today. Both doctors showed sincere love and concern for the animals they treat and the people who love them. I was given plenty of time to talk with the doctors, neither made me feel as if I was taking too much of their time and encouraged me to contact them if at any time I am concerned or have a question, 24/7, they let me use their open ears for as long as I needed. I believe that if it weren't for them actually listening to all the possible issues that could cause my cat to turn into a post-stroke like condition, the proper treatment and tests wouldn't have been issued. Because of the information I considered related and important he was evaluated, stayed for hydration, meds, and tests today, but now I have him laying next to me and practically right back to his old self. When they both called me at home to see how he was doing and if I had questions I was touched and new that Crossroads is going to be where I go for medical care for good here in Jackson. Their combination of medical knowledge and true effort to be there in every way for the owners made this the most impressive and positive experience getting treatment for any of my pets. Not only were the doctors amazing but the nurses/assistants/techs shared the same compassion and ability to really connect with the people. God Bless both doctors and their employees who made this time next to my baby possible tonight. I can't stress enough the perfect overall package they provide and the difference of care from any in the past has me in tears , they possibly saved my loved one and no words can thank them enough! Also, I noticed that I couldn't even smell that my cat had been in a veterinarians cage all day whereas in the past my cat would stink intensly for days even if he only spent an hour in a kennel. This tells me they keep everything very sanitary and clean. This help has been a blessing and hope others give them a try, I am never going to seek help elsewhere as long as I remain in or near Jackson, Thank you everyone, I have my baby back and have peace of mind that anything that comes up in the future will be treated with nothing but the best. God bless, may you know how much your "practices" make a difference. Sincerly, Amber L. Honsowitz

Visiting for the weekend- suggestions?
We will be in Chicago, staying at the Hyatt Regency, for three nights (Thurs.-Sat.). In town for a conference, so we'll need to get out of the hotel and have some yummy food. Open to any cuisine; perhaps two moderate options and one expensive choice, preferably all in the basic area of the hotel (East Wacker Drive). Thanks!
There aren't a huge number of places within walking distance of the hotel. One good place is Tavern on the Park, which is good American fare and a couple of blocks away. You're a five minute cab ride from very good places in the West Loop like Sepia, Blackbird, Avec, Sushi Wabi and Follia.
re: ems
Thanks. Which of these require reservations? I checked opentable and it seems like Follia, for one, has lots of availability so maybe we can just drop in? Also, I read on another post about Coco Pazzo and Boston Blackie's- are these very far from the hotel? Or any good? We're certainly willing to take more than a 5 minute cab ride...for more than 20 minutes away, though, it would have to be something really worth doing.
re: sed231
Coco Pazzo is wonderful. It is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Chicago. I would try to make a reservation, but they often have availability on short notice. Coco Pazzo also has a slightly less expensive sister restaurant, Coco Pazzo Cafe. I prefer the original, but both are good. Coco Pazzo is at 300 W. Hubbard (near the merchandise mart) and Coco Pazzo Cafe is at 636 N. St. Clair St., each is a short cab ride from your hotel.
Boston Blackies is a decent place to get a burger, but nothing particularly special. There are more interesting options in that price range.
Santorini in Greektown for excellent Greek cuisine in a serene romantic setting. Not too expensive.
Venus on Jackson in Greektown for Cypriot/Cyprus and Greek cuisine. Reasonably priced.
Enoteca Roma Wine Bar 2146 W. Division Street. Cozy and very good food and wine.
Kan Zaman on Wells not very far from your hotel for tasty Lebanese. Reasonably priced.
Salpicon on Wells in Old Town for Nuevo Mexican. Excellent high-end margaritas as well.
re: amoncada
I would make a reservation at both Follia and Tavern on the Park for a Friday or Saturday night because both tend to be busy. On other nights you can probably want in.
For your expensive option I would try Brasserie Ruhlman.Quick cab ride (10 mins & $6-$9). Great food, great atmosphere and lots of fun.
Other great places are Naha on N Clark is a 10 minute walk if not too cold. naha-chicago.com
Coco Pazzo Restaurant on W Hubbard is a cab ride (the cafe is walkable, but I like restaurant better).
I would make reservations for any restaurant in the city. Also, I suggest calling and chatting with the host/hostess, you will often get better service rather than just an online booking. No personal touch.
re: jbontario
Can you suggest a German restaurant in the downtown area?
re: speyerer
The Berghoff has essentially reopened, albeit with a slightly different name, but it's still located on Adams between Dearborn and State. I think the food there is decent, but nothing more. If you don't mind a trek up north, I would highly recommend Laschet's Inn, on Irving Park just west of Damen, where the German food is the best you will find in the city.


text: Sable Collar Nail Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "luxurious pearlescent cocoa plum." It's a cool-toned, plummy brown with lighter, warmer plum micro-shimmer running through it. It was fully opaque in two coats, and it applied evenly and smoothly. The consistency wasn't too thick or too thin. There were very, very minor visible brush strokes–most of the time, I could not detect them. Guerlain Sulfurous (LE, $23.00) is much darker. Urban Decay Barlust (LE) is less plum. Le Metier de Beaute Urban Dweller (LE, $10.00) is darker and has larger shimmer (but it's the closest of the three). See comparison swatches.

Make a Good First Impression. As the saying goes, you only have one chance to make a first impression. Remember also that much of communication is non-verbal; e.g., the interviewer forms an impression of you not just from what you say, but also from how you look and how you conduct yourself.
Dress appropriately and practice good hygiene. Be conservative in your attire. Note what people in your profession wear, and dress accordingly. Suits for men and women are the rule. Clothes should be pressed, shoes polished, glasses cleaned, etc. Avoid excessive use of jewelry, make-up, perfume or cologne. Carry a briefcase or portfolio with copies of your resume, references and samples of your work, if appropriate.
Arrive early for the interview. Allow plenty of time to compose yourself before the interview begins. Offer a firm handshake, and don't forget to smile. It's OK to be nervous -- even experienced job-hunters will be -- but watch out for nervous 'tics' (the nervous giggle, finger-drumming, frequent leg-crossing, etc.).
Here is a brief checklist of things to keep in mind:

Toyota dealers nationwide have been ordered to inspect floor mats in all of their cars after a California Highway Patrol Officer and three members of his family were killed in a horrifying high-speed traffic accident apparently caused by a mismatched floor mat.
USA Today reports, "Toyota Motor Sales USA planned to issue an order Wednesday to about 1,400 Toyota and Lexus dealers nationwide to make sure each of their new, used and loaner vehicles had the proper floor mats and that the mats were properly secured, said Brian Lyons, a spokesman for the Torrance-based company. Customers who are concerned should also make sure they have the proper mats. "If there's any doubt in their mind about the security and shape of their mat," Lyons told reporters, owners should "go ahead and visit the dealer."
Kicking Tires explains, "It's believed a floormat caused an accident that killed four people in San Diego County after becoming snagged on the vehicle's gas pedal." Four people were riding in the Lexus ES350, which a dealer had loaned to the family while their own car was serviced. Crash investigators haven't released a final conclusion, but told reporters that a driver's-side all-weather floor mat found at the scene doesn't match the ES 350.
USA Today notes that the mismatched mat "could have snared or covered the accelerator pedal." A passenger in the car "called police about a minute before the crash to say the vehicle had no brakes and the accelerator was stuck." Investigators estimate that the Lexus was travelling more than 120 miles per hour "when it hit a sport-utility vehicle, launched off an embankment, rolled several times and burst into flames."
Bloomberg notes that this isn't the first time Toyota has heard of a similar issue. "Toyota in 2007 recalled 55,000 Camrys and Lexus ES 350s in the U.S. to replace floor mats that it said could slip forward and snag the gas pedal, causing uncontrolled acceleration." The 2009 ES350 involved in the California accident was not covered by that recall.
Drivers trapped in a car with the accelerator stuck have several, very limited options. Toyota's Lyons told USA Today, "The driver could have put the car in neutral to disengage the engine from the automatic transmission." He "also could have turned off the electronically keyed car by holding down the start switch for three seconds, but that could have locked the steering wheel, turned off the headlights and cut power-assist to the brakes, Lyons said."
