THC is standing and applauding.
(Pause ... Wipes away a tear)
Continues applauding.
The stories behind Splash Mountain and Big Thunder is awfully pendatic. How would an schooled engineer not figure out common sense? So Tony Baxter came to the rescue? I'm not knocking Tony. I'm just saying that the engineers must be on the slow side if the story is true. Or perhaps Disney needed someone to increase their budget, otherwise, the rock work for Splash Mountain would come out completely half-baked and Big Thunder Mountain will constantly stall.
BTW, I'm an engineer. I would use a string.
Well, agree to disagree. What was brilliant about the original was that it was such a great ride, with such a clear narrative (at the age if 8 I had no trouble "getting it"). To me, this Imagination pavilion, and the ride especially, was like the landmark homage to the spirit of Walt himself. This is precisely because it was separate from all of the IP that was usually the focus. There was a purity to it. (I get that figment and dreamfinder were essentially new IP, and that they were there partly to sell Kidak film, but still, it was a refreshingly un-cynical thing. Tony's quip about how the suits weren't happy about the dragon to begin with reinforces this). The decline of the pavilion, I would argue, was symptomatic of a triumph of business concerns over the spirit of imagination itself.
Mr. Baxter, if you're reading these comments, I want to thank you for a lifetime of great work. Like all brilliant creative people, I know that you were just doing what had to be done, and doing the best you could. To me your creations are special, and you have brought great joy to me and my family, and have allowed us to share time and fun with one another in a very meaningful way. Thank you for sharing so generously in these interviews. And thank you for sharing so generously in your life's work.

Happy Memorial Day to all our readers. A day of remembrance, a time to gather with loved ones, friends and relatives in order to pay homage to those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Memorial Day is a day to honor those that upon enlistment or commission into the armed forces, wrote a blank check to the United States of America payable up to and including death – and never came home.
If you are in the Western New York area, here are a list of parades to take the family to. [96.1 Joy FM].
The president will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. If you have never been to the Tomb, it is worth the drive or flight to Washington, D.C. Everyone should have the opportunity to watch the changing of the guard live. Thank you the the men of the 3rd Infantry Regiment for standing guard day and night. [Fox News].
If your worried about letting the youth of tomorrow start for the Buffalo Sabres, look at the success of Boston's Torey Krug in the Eastern Conference playoffs. [ESPN Boston].
Boston has depth, and the emergence of Krug shows that, and it will be important for the Boston Bruins when they faceoff against the Pittsburgh Penguins [Bleacher Report].
History not on the side of the Bruins as they are set to face the Penguins for the third time in the history of the franchise for the two teams [NHL.com].
The Detroit Red Wings may have a hold on the semifinal series against the Chicago Blackhawks – but the B-hawks still have life. Detroit has some changes to make if they want to make it to the finals. [Bleacher Report].
Drew Sharp questions whether or not the Red Wings have what it takes this year. [Detroit Free Press].
Game Six between Detroit and Chicago will be tonight at 8PM. Game 7 for the San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings is Tuesday night at 9PM.

i'm not talking about tainting :) money is just money we are not

our consortium i guess.
what i mean with "not the best way" is that there are better sustainable
ways to exchange values at our stage, one of which is already well
active (but not properly considered, is my perception): visibility and
in fact, the value we are sharing already among each other is trust.
now go ask a gnu/linux mantainer of today what the word "trust" means
for him :) imagine all this armies of users we have behind here and how
much they trust us in running the software we publish...

that's merchandising. do we need it? yes, until a certain degree, if
there is someone good at it willing to do more, but such activities
should form a chapter that sustains itself IMHO.

we already sent out an announcement mail without discussing it first
here, i'm glad to see there is still some space for discussion.
so far i didn't read any mail here in favour of inclusion of Ubuntu,
only in favour of ubuntustudio.
i'm looking forward to hear what the consortium as a whole think about

i just hope that the most of the money out of that doesn't gets all
expended in beaurocracy and mantainance, but we can do some more...
well, let's see how many we are first :)

The Pilot
"Your voice is so high," said Joan, my director. "It just doesn't sound natural." We were shooting The Booby Trap, a pilot for a television show she and I had created. We were going to submit it to a network in the hopes that they'd pick it up as a series. I was playing myself (natch) and a fly-looking actor named Derek was playing a guy I date named Indie Rocker. In the scene he had to compliment me on my dress and I had to say, "Thanks. It's body-conscious. It makes me feel hot but not too slutty." We'd already done several takes and I could see Joan was getting frustrated with my acting. But every time she gave me direction I didn't seem to know how to take it.
Plus I was starting to get dizzy. Not just 'cause of tension on the set but because of the green screen. We were shooting in front of a huge green screen because this would be a high-tech show and the computer graphics people were going to put in special backgrounds in postproduction. Derek and I were sitting at a green table on green boxes, and I could feel my brain beginning to go soft.
"What doesn't sound natural about my read?" I said.
"You're speaking in a babyish voice. Not your own. Try it the way you're talking to me right now. Try it like yourself."
"It's body-conscious," I squeaked. "It makes me feel hot but not too slutty." It was so bizarre. Carol Kane had taken over my body.
"That was like yourself?" said Joan.
"No! I know it wasn't! But it's the best I can do with such a lousy—" I started to say "script" but then I remembered I wrote the script. I couldn't criticize my own text. I had to find someone else to blame.
"You're really not communicating very well," I told Joan. "I mean, what exactly is it that you want?"
"Maybe you could play it more flirtatiously." The DP rolled the camera and we did it again and this time it did sound better, but not completely.
"Okay," said Joan. "Let's move on."
I could tell she wasn't satisfied. We took a five-minute break and I scurried into the holding area to put my head in my hands. When I'd convinced this production company I should play myself it wasn't out of hubris. Okay, maybe it was a little bit out of hubris. But I really believed I could do it. Now my delusions of grandeur were getting the better of me. Why was I so relaxed in life, but so stiff and stagy in front of a camera?
Derek came in the room and reached for his Winstons.
"Do you think I'm a bad actor?" I asked.
"You told me this morning you were a failed actor."
"That doesn't necessarily mean I'm bad, though. Do you think I suck?"
"I don't think we should have this conversation," he said, took his pack and went out to the stairwell to smoke. I followed him and sat next to him on the bottom step.
"What were you trying to tell me?" I asked.
"I just don't want you to be afraid to play with me."
"Are you coming on to me?" I asked excitedly.
"No. I mean, this morning when we were doing that improv, and I was giving you stuff to work with, you weren't really listening to me. That's the only thing that makes me mad, when you don't allow me to help you."
"I promise I'll let you help me!" I shouted. "What scene do we have next?"
"The one where we make out on my bed."
Suddenly all my fears flitted away. I'd never done a full-out, partially clothed, on-camera makeout scene before. I couldn't wait to expand my horizons. We went into the costume area and I changed into the Victoria's Secret Miracle Bra the costume girl had bought for me, and then I slithered into a tight, slinky dress. Barry, the makeup guy, primped my hair and I went to the set ready to bare. When I saw the bed, though, I got a little nervous. Not only was it neon green, but behind it was a green cube with red dots on each of the corners. "What's that for?" I asked Joan.
"The graphics. It lets them build a 3-D environment behind you."
Derek came in and we lay down on the bed facing each other. "I guess this is what cybersex is like," he said. Joan talked us through our motions, then called action and for the next 10 minutes, four takes in a row, we rolled around on the bed. It wasn't very hot. I wanted it to be but it's just hard to get it up when someone's yelling, "Roll left! Now roll right! Sit up! Lie down!" the whole time through. I love being dominated—but by my dude, not my director.
We finished the scene and Joan seemed happy, but when we wrapped for the day I saw this tightness around her eyes that made me wonder if she'd had doubts about my performance in the rest of the scenes. Maybe the only good acting I could do was porno.
I changed out of my costume and called Paul. "I want to do something relaxing tonight," I said. "Let's go see Arlington Road. I heard it's really good."
Unfortunately that wasn't the wisest choice. While the movie jolted me out of my performance paranoia, it jolted me into a far deeper paranoia about terrorist militias. "God, I'm depressed," I said to Paul as we walked out. "What should we do now?"
"Let's get some sushi," he said.
So we went to a restaurant on 9th St. and sat at a window table and while Paul ate his spicy tuna I bitched about the day. "Maybe it's okay that I'm a bad actor," I said. "Jerry Seinfeld's a bad actor. He says his lines in a false and singsongy voice, but people love him anyway. Maybe people will watch me, knowing I'm bad, but like the character and the writing enough not to care."
"I'm sure you're not that talentless, pumpkin," he said.
"I don't know," I said. "I really think I've lost my knack. What if the network likes everything about the show except my performance? Then they'll hold onto me as a writer but replace me as an actor—with Parker Posey or something. I'll never be able to live it down."
"Why don't you wait till you see the footage?" he said. "Sometimes it comes out better than you think."
That night I slept over his place and in the morning I went back for the second and final day of shooting. My first scene was with a guy named Mark who was playing my best friend Sam. I was supposed to tell him about my plan to paste Indie's photo
to my breasts on our next date and Sam was supposed to mock me in a dry and Jewish way. We did a few takes of the scene and then Joan pulled me aside and whispered, "You're doing that thing with your voice again."
"What thing?" I whined.
"Let's go out into the hallway."
We sat down on two chairs and as she started to explain what she didn't like I started to bawl. I rubbed my head mournfully and my wig got crooked. I was wearing a wig since my real hair is frizzy and wild and that looks bad against a green screen. "I don't know what you want," I wailed, straightening the wig.
I was embarrassed to be crying but I was glad I was dealing with a female director. If she had been a male, then it would have been like that scene in A League of Their Own, where Tom Hanks coaches one of the girls on the team and she begins to cry and he looks at her incredulously and says, "There's no crying in baseball."
"Let's do the scene together," said Joan, "just you and me. Talk to me the way you were talking to your friend when this happened and you were telling him your plan." And so I did the line, but improvised, pretending I was talking to my real friend Sherm, and changing some of the words so they felt more natural.
"That was a thousand percent better," said Joan. "That's how I want you to do it. If you need to change the words a little then you should."
"But Lisa Kudrow on Friends always adds these little 'y'know's to her lines and it annoys the fuck out of me."
"It annoys me sometimes too," said Joan, "but she's funny."
We went back into the soundstage and after Barry blotted away my tear stains, we taped the scene again. When I finished Joan was smiling. She liked me, she really liked me.
The rest of the day was a breeze—all the scenes went a million times easier than the day before because I paraphrased all my lines. I'd been trained for years not to mess with the writer's work, but now that I was the writer I could do whatever I wanted.
When we finally wrapped, at 10:30 at night, I changed into my regular clothes and set the wig down on its dummy head in the holding area. I went back in the studio and saw a cooler of beers on the food table, plus a delivery of chicken, ribs and fries. I loaded a plate and Joan beckoned me into one of the offices. "Today went so much better than yesterday," she said, inhaling on a smoke. "To tell you the truth, I was kind of freaked out when I left last night."
"You don't have to rub it in," I said. "I know I sucked yesterday."
"I wasn't freaked about you. I was freaked about me. When I got home I called my brother and three other friends to moan. I was afraid the network would love everything except my directing."
"That's exactly how I felt about my acting!"
"I was so distraught," she said. "It was like that thirty something episode where Elliot directs his first video. It's a total fiasco and everyone on the set knows he doesn't know what he's doing. He goes home that night and gets really drunk and depressed. At the end of the episode he's in the car with Nancy and as he's complaining to her, the camera zooms out and reveals Melanie Mayron on a crane directing the actual episode of the show."
"How totally meta—and gorgeous!" I shouted.
She smiled. Derek came in with some brews. We kvelled over his brilliant performance and he said he loved working on the show. A few more crew members wandered into the office with brews and smokes, and the nicotined air made me high instead of nauseated. Finally it got late and everyone left for home. I went upstairs to the holding area. My wig was still sitting where I'd left it. I knew I should take it with me but I didn't want to admit that the shoot was over. So I took it into Joan's office and set it on her desk as a totally meta and gorgeous souvenir.

Georgia or Rosalie?
Hey guys! Jason and I have narrowed down little lady's name to either Georgia or Rosalie. We love both of them very very very much we just don't know which one to use. We like the idea of having a little Rosie, but Jason really adores having the idea of having a little Georgia. Another thing about using Georgia, is she has an older sister name Charlotte and I don't want it to see too southern-y/match-y. But I could be over thinking things which as been constant throughout this pregnancy. Which one sounds better with siblings Truman Reed, Delaney Katherine, Charlotte Elisa, and Hallie Jane? The middle name options for the little lady are Beth, Penelope, Christine, and Caroline or if you any other variants that honor either of these as they are family names will work too. Just to mention if you didn't know, little lady's twin brother's name is Spencer (his middle name is yet to be determined but it is between Jay and Troy) Thanks a bunch!

No-one gets closer to the inimitable style of Michael Stipe than Rick Southern. In 2008 the band performed for Michael Stipe himself, live on the BBC1's The One Show. Afterwards, Michael said that he thought the band sounded "awesome!" Backed by a band that play with passion and precision, this is a show not to be missed by anyone who likes R.E.M.

Brilliant, waited 3 years for them to come close to home in Northampton and never did when I was free - so travelled 2 hours to Crewe! Only about 150 probably due to Boxing day, and so many top bands at venue all month (we'd seen 6 bands this week).… (cont'd) Phil A from Northampton

Even I Can Grow Herbs in the Summer (And You Can Too)
I can kill any plant. Among others, I have destroyed a ficus, several philodendrons and a mint plant (yes, mint). But in the summer time in South Carolina, even I can't kill the herbs.
Years ago, my husband and three sons built and planted a small herb garden for me, visible from our bedroom window and accessible by just a short walk around my house. At times, I am too lazy to walk around the house (which is not that large, but I am really lazy) and I do very little maintenance in the garden. As you can see, the oregano, which began as a three inch plant, grew quickly, with no love from me.
In this climate, all I have to do is drop an herb plant into a pot or small patch of dirt and watch it go. Lavender, rosemary, thyme and oregano will even survive the winter, with no action on my part. Oregano grows so easily, I'm convinced it shouldn't even cost money.
By the end of the season, my basil plants will be so overgrown (in spite of all we will have picked and used), that I'll have plenty to make an enormous batch of pesto to be frozen in ice cube trays and used in various dishes all winter long.
The herbs are so plentiful, I sometimes have trouble using the whole crop. This post about what to do with large quantities of oregano has already inspired a batch of oregano pesto (Good Questions, indeed!).
What do you do with a superabundance of herbs? And can anyone tell me how to keep that oregano from taking over my tiny garden?
(Images: Anne Postic)
15 Comments
The oregano will stay put if you keep it contained, right? Or am I being a dope and missing something? We grew lemon balm and catnip, and ended up drying a lot of it. You could give it to neighbors or even the local food bank; I bet working poor would really appreciate some herbs.
Or if it is past season you could put it in your compost bin for some extra carbon.
I killed rosemary in South Carolina. :-(
My mint plant is struggling this summer. Someone surmised it was the excessive amount of rain we've gotten here in Tennessee (we hit our average annual total rainfall a week ago). Does it suffer from overwatering, or is it something else? Of course, while my mint is struggling, my basil is thriving without me ever having to water it.
I'm doing both pesto-freezing and herb-drying with my herbs this summer. I've got the usual basil and oregano, but I've also got a lot of sage that I'm not sure how to store once the growing season is over. Pesto or dried? Is sage pesto a thing?
My sage and rosemary have taken over and I'm not even using them much right now as I think of them as more "wintery" herbs. My basil and coriander are doing well but the dill not so much.
Does anyone have any tips on how to pick herbs to keep them flourishing? I know you have to pick basil from the top but am not sure about the others.
Laura...I think sage might be too strong an herb to use in a pesto, but I've never tried it so maybe not. Drying is a great way to use up an abundance of fresh herbs and you could use all of that dried sage for some great fall and winter dishes!
@Laura at Rather Square I used this recipe to make Sage-Basil Pesto and it turned out really great http://localkitchenblog.com/2009/08/06/basil-sage-pesto/
@themoderngal What type of mint is it? I don't know about the water but I found they like partial shade and pretty much moist conditions. Having said that, flooding water causes root rot and will harm almost any plant. Make sure it's cut back frequently and I added some coconut coir as mulch to all my container plants, and it seemed to help.
That reminds me, I need to go water my herbs!
yes, if anyone knows how herbs are supposed to be picked??i read once that flowers should be nipped in the bud for thyme if you want more leaves. Any gardeners out that?
Laura, I too have plenty of sage growing but also (as someone else commented) think of it as more of a fall/winter flavor. I love it best with browned butter, so my plan at the end of the season is to make a big batch of sage browned butter and freeze it in ice cubes for future use!
I'm currently in the last stages of killing my mint. Apartment windowsills in Brooklyn (with only a little direct sunlight every day) are not the ideal locations for it. On the other hand, my sage is growing like crazy.
My boyfriend has tried to grow mint three times in his Brooklyn studio. He has yet to be successful. He does a little rant about how everyone has told him how easy it is to grow. Somethings don't grow everywhere.
He's been very successful with lettuce. Minus that month long heat wave.
I'm in GA and have loved watching my basil plant explode without any watering. However my mint looks terrible. I wasn't sure if I was messing things up since I am a perpetual plant killer, but I think you might be on to something. Or at least I hope since then I wouldn't be the one to blame:)

Thanks for posting this link. I wanted to do more than donate the small amount of cash that I had given, so through crafthope, I was able to donate a pair of earrings as well. Hopefully this will help!
How can I participate? I would like to donate a bear made by me.
I wanted to donate a bear made by me for sale for Haiti, but I guess I'm to late.
Is ther another sale taking place for the benefit of Haiti?
Thank you

I did not take these photos.
I did not create these patterns.
I should have such talent.
They belong to a VERY talented landscape artist from Canada, Mandy Budan.
I am lucky enough to own one of her originals entitled Patty's Montana.
Yes, she painted it just for me!
Isn't it stunning?
I sent her a photo of my view and she sent me this.
She didn't even know at the time she painted it that my favorite color was purple.
|photo credit - budanArt Halliburton Morning
She does exquisite work.
I have several of her prints and if I had room I'd own them all.
Does she not create Pretty Patterns?
Check out her shop, budanArt to see all of her art. It will be worth the visit.
Pricilla also made some Pretty Patterns this week.
She added a new soap shape to her shop.
New little favor soaps for weddings or showers.
They have Pretty Patterns of hearts on them.
She is a clever goat.
I did take that photo...
Hopefully next week I'll have more energy.
Be sure to check out all of the Pretty Patterns at The Studio Sublime and below!

One reason may be optics. Obama was scheduled to deliver the speech in a stadium seating 64,000 people. But on Wednesday, after Charlotte, N.C., had been pummeled by periodic rainstorms all week, organizers moved the event to the convention...

Prescription Discount Cards Latest Medicare Reform Tactic
"It throws out a whole new idea that may or may not be workable," says Neuman. "It sounds like you're getting something you're not. They're not extracting a co-pay from you," but, she says, there could be other hidden charges.
On Thursday, the president is expected to recommend basic principles for Medicare reform that would shore up the program financially and add a universal prescription drug benefit. However, a big battle is expected over what the pumped-up program will cost and how much it will rely on managed care.
Capitol Hill is also tackling the broad issue of prescription drugs. On Wednesday, the House passed a measure that would make it legal for Americans to buy mail order drugs made in the U.S. from overseas. That was over the strenuous objections of the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry, which believe the move could flood the country with counterfeit or contaminated drugs.
A broader law was passed last year that would have allowed reimportation by pharmacies, but it was never implemented because of safety concerns. Still, U.S. consumers have been eager to buy drugs from abroad where price controls keep costs down dramatically.
A similar bill is under consideration in the Senate, although Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson came out Tuesday against drug reimportation as too risky and not cost-effective.

Tim Tebow is the hottest topic in the Senior Bowl practices, and scouts are watching him like a hawk, evaluating his pro prospects. As we've already discussed, some of them are... well... not so high on Tebow's pro potential at the QB position. And it's only getting worse. Some of them are actually giving up on Tebow altogether as a QB.
One NFC scout:
"I actually don't think he's that hard to evaluate at all. To me, he's just not a very good quarterback prospect. Now, if you want to rework his mechanics, his release, try to improve his accuracy, then you see a guy with this big frame that can throw. He's a big-time project, no doubt."
ESPN director of college scouting Todd McShay:
"He can't play quarterback in the NFL, I'm convinced of it. From his delivery to his footwork to his accuracy, you have to absolutely strip him down and build him back up. And it's too late."
The crazy part is that he might not end up being that desirable at another position either. According to the AFC scouting director:
"If you put him at another position, he wouldn't be an elite athlete. As a quarterback, he's a really good athlete and strong and physical. But if you say, 'OK, how's he compared to the running backs out there?' He's not more athletic than any of the running backs out there and he's certainly not more athletic than a lot of great tight ends."
I'm sure there's a place for Tim Tebow somewhere in the NFL. But he's going to have to work hard to find a place.
NFL scouts are already giving up on Tim Tebow

These codes came up and my car is running really rich. The person that I bought it from said he replaced part of the exhaust because of a leak. I just cleared the codes and my car started stalling after that all the way home. It was idling way to low. It finally stopped stalling and is idling just fine. It usually runs fine with no problems but I wanna fix it. Any suggestions?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUKO-CHAN aka ask-bertholdt
I really hope you have a fun day. You are such an amazing friend to me, and I wish that I was able to talk to you a lot more recently.
Thank you for always being a colossal support. For the rest of my life, I'll never forget how much you inspired me to work on my art no matter how busy I became.
You are the reason why I came to the SnK community. I met so many wonderful friends here including Annie, and the reason why I can be this happy right now. I owe you so much, and I'm not sure if I can express all of it at once.
Your art and ideas have always been a treat every time you post a new piece of work on your blog. It brings smiles, tears, and inspiration to many, and I admire how fast you work on them while being so accurate. There's nothing I wish for more today than your happiness and that you will enjoy your birthday. Thanks for being born and bringing so much joy into my life.
Annie!! Thank you so much for collabing with me! I love the idea and your details to your shading!! I still can't believe it's mouse made! You are truly a genius. xD I'm not sure in what situation these three would be together in one room, but I sure love the idea that they would be LOL.
Thanks for being patient with me and working on Bertholdt as well. ><
I am so happy to have been able to collab with you!

Hey. I am from the UK and working in the City (since Sep last year).
I will be chilling out and partying on South Beach Miami at Ocean Drive for 3 days (29/08 - 01/09) and then heading to San Juan in Puerto Rico surfing for 5 days (01/09 - 05/09).
Anyone will be around for these days? Will be happy to share a rooftop suite in Miami/a beach front room in San Juan as my boss paid for then. Girls preferrable.
Let me know if you are keen.

This week was a Holiday week so instead of the Friday Five, it's all about the Friday Find.
1. Kimball House If you haven't been to Decatur's newest dining destination you should definitely put it on your list. Craft cocktails, raw bar and champagne for days it's one of Myka's favorite bars to cozy up to when she's craving oysters. They have an Oyster Happy Hour from 5-7 with some of the best oysters in the city priced to make them go down easier.
Word on the street is that they are doing an additional Happy Hour starting at 11 PM on NYE so if you still haven't decided where to ring in the new year and raw oysters are your thing, make your way over to Kimball House. But we suggest you go early. They don't take reservations and while the space is large, it can get crowded quickly.

Originally from Russia, Roza graduated from the International School of Skin and Nail Care in 1999 and has been on a skin care journey ever since. Gaining experience in many realms of the industry, her areas of expertise include: management, training, and image consulting. However, her specialty continues to remain in the practice of hair removal. While she is very passionate about waxing, she believes a true hair removal specialist should not only be able to remove the hair with proper technique, but also educate the client on proper skin and hair health. When she's not at WAX, you can find Roza running, fishing, or exploring the outdoors, but when it's time to unwind, she's all about dinner and a movie.

Three things you can't live without: Learning, sharing, and clothes!
Let me first start by stating that I am NOT a product junkie. Don't get me wrong, I love great beauty products (I have definitely been known to drop $200 at Sephora, no problem), but these days, every penny counts. When it comes to buying make-up, body care products, or even something like toothpaste… I'm squeezing it's little tubey neck for every last drop!
For the past month and a half, I've been doing some testing on a couple of different toothpastes, and let me tell you….it has really sparked a toothpaste enthusiast inside of me that I never even knew existed! Along my paste testing journey, I've also been using the toothbrush from Acca Kappa's BIOCETA line: made from a biodegradable material derived from cotton, and boar hair for the bristles. Love it!
First up is Couto toothpaste: Efficacy: A+ Taste: B+ Design: A+ Price: $8.00
Originally created in 1932 by a Portuguese pharmacist who was looking to treat the overwhelming amount of gingivitis cases around him, this great toothpaste hasn't changed much since it's earlier days. It's vegan, made without creepy ingredients, and tastes…… like licorice. While I did enjoy how clean my mouth felt while using this toothpaste, I am not a huge fan of fennel flavoring. This would be my only criticism, but that's just my personal taste!
Next up is Marvis toothpaste: Efficacy: A+ Taste: A+ Design A+ Price: $10.50
Imported from Florence, Italy, this little gem has somehow gotten me wrapped around it's….uh, tube? Not only is it amazing to use and covers all the dental hygiene, tooth and gum care elements, but it comes in awesome flavors. Ginger mint? Are you kidding me?? Not to mention, it's beautifully packaged and looks amazing on my sink. I've even kept the box….
For $10.50, you might think that's over the top for toothpaste. Even for a non-junkie like myself, I may have to agree with you a smidge. But really, isn't it worth it to have a super effective toothpaste that makes your mouth feel like it's relaxing in a day spa in Florence, Italy for a few minutes, twice a day? My mouth says 'yes please!'.
Many wonderful things come to mind when we think of Miss Lane: Sharp wit, nutrition savvy, Canadian… But perhaps the one thing that sticks out the most is the term 'product junkie'. Whether it's beauty, skin care, nutrition, or shoes (another major addiction that could warrant it's own blog post); Lane is the quintessential product guru of the WAX staff. Here are just a few of her major addictions this month:
1.) Hard Top Intrinsic Nail Hardener: My #1 addiction this month. This product is truly amazing! It's not a lacquer, but more like a serum. If you want beautiful natural nails, buy this stuff!
2.) Odwalla Superfood juice: I don't know what it is about this blend but it gives me energy and tastes yummy…
3.) Chanel Ultra Wear Lip Colour in Rose Agate: I apply it once in the morning and it lasts all day long. Even after lunch it's still there. Love it!
4.) Trace Minerals Research Electrolyte Stamina Paks in cranberry: These are good for your body and give you a steady flow of energy!
5.) Endless.com and Zappos.com: Two words; Free shipping (both ways!). These websites are one of the only reasons that I check my mail.
According to my husband I am addicted to a lot of things: constant rearranging of our furniture, vintage Italian ceramics, compulsive eBay bidding & talking while he's watching something "important" on TV. I, however, do not consider those addictions – they are called passions and these are a few of the things that I am passionate about this month.
1. Indian headresses. Please see adjacent photo. I would wear this to the grocery store just for kicks. No, really….I would….
2. Fiddleleaf Fig Trees. They're so sculptural and pretty. Mine is only about 3 ft but I'm hoping it will soon look like one of the one's in this picture.
3. Eating for my blood type. Dr. D'Adamo's medical and genetic research reveals that blood type is the key to your biochemical uniqueness. When you eat right for your type, your body responds the way nature intended. I am Type A and should be mostly vegetarian and avoid wheat. I should also drink coffee (yay!) and avoid black tea. The list goes on and on but fortunately for me most of what I should be eating I already do with a few exceptions of things that need to be avoided: cheese from cows, capers, olives & peppers. Cue me sobbing into my cup of coffee. Can't yet say if I'll be a life long convert, but I have lost a few pounds, have more energy and a lingering cough is now gone. Check out the book here.
4. Plums. 'Nuf said. Nothing makes me happier than fresh plums in the summer. LOVE them. And they're on my list of blood type approved foods.
5. Adara coconut oil. It works great for everything, from dry skin to dry hair and leaves me smelling all beachy. Perfect for summer. Find it here.

ST. PETERSBURG, FL, USA – The Women's Tennis Association (WTA), the world's leading global sport for women, announced today a multi-year, multi-million dollar global partnership with Xerox, the world's leading enterprise for business process and document management. Under the agreement, Xerox will become the WTA's exclusive supplier of business services and office document technology.
"Xerox is one of the world's leading iconic brands, and to have them not only as a sponsor but as a partner is a real plus to the WTA family," said Stacey Allaster, Chairman and CEO of the WTA. "Through their services and products, Xerox will add significant business value to the WTA and our tournaments, and as a marketing partner we know they will build on the popularity of women's tennis and work with us to take the WTA to the next level of success. 2013 is a milestone year for the WTA as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of women's professional tennis and the announcement of this worldwide partnership with Xerox is a fantastic way to start the season."
"Since its inception in 1973, the WTA has fostered a long-held commitment to innovation, which has seen our organization grow to become the world's leading professional sport for women," added Allaster. "Partnering with Xerox, a brand with a heritage of innovation, a strong commitment to excellence and unrivalled global business services is a perfect fit for the WTA."
"While on the court fans are witness to outstanding competition, off the court the Women's Tennis Association is running a complex business with multiple stakeholders – fans, players, tournament officials, sponsors, media, and more," said Christa Carone, Xerox's chief marketing officer. "The future success of the WTA depends on operational discipline and ingenuity in meeting all their stakeholders' needs. That's where Xerox comes in. As a WTA partner, Xerox plans to be behind the scenes helping to simplify the WTA's various operations – from IT support and HR services to communication and marketing services – so the WTA can focus on serving up world class tennis and remarkable fan experiences."
During the first year of the agreement, Xerox will activate at 18 WTA tournaments around the globe, accessing significant global marketing, digital, broadcast and content rights throughout the WTA season, including ePlayer, mobile and social networking applications.
Additionally, Xerox will become a partner of the prestigious TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships-Istanbul, which in 2012 set records for attendance, broadcast coverage and digital fan engagement.
Today's announcement marks the sixth new sponsorship agreement secured by the WTA over the last two and a half years, including BNP Paribas, Rolex, Oriflame, Peak and Jetstar. The WTA Board is expected to approve the Xerox deal this week.

Georgia will get only a fraction of the federal money state leaders say they need to expand the Port of Savannah under President Barack Obama's proposed budget, AJC reporters Bob Keefe and Dan Chapman write.
The president's fiscal 2012 budget includes $600,000 in "pre-construction" money for deepening the harbor — considered by state leaders as Georgia's biggest and most important economic development project, the reporters write.
State officials say they need $105 million in federal help this year to help with deepening the harbor so it can compete with other Atlantic ports when bigger ships begin passing through the Panama Canal in 2015, Keefe and Chapman report.
The total cost of deepening the harbor, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is expected to be about $551 million — a huge amount for the state to bear without more federal aid, the reporters write.
Gov. Nathan Deal said he was disappointed in the lack of more funding for the port, Keefe and Chapman report.

Seniors and low/middle income people are being shoved further down the hole. These people seem to forget that yes we do vote. If they did with WIC vouchers what they do with food stamps and medicaid, PROVE YOU ARE A LEGAL CITIZEN, be surprised how many didn't get it. Lady behind me where I live, pops them out every 9 months, refuses to learn English, and laughs about being illegal, not having to pay when her kids are born, and gets four WIC vouchers a month for each of her five kids and another on the way. I worked all my life, paid taxes, paid into SS for 50 years, yet for two years we get nothing. Gasoline, food, gas, electric – keep going up. Seniors can only get a maximum of $19 per month in food stamps. Big banks and corporations bailed out; Seniors ignored. People have lost their jobs and most are looking for another every day – none to be found. But gotta take care of those illegals and those big banks and corporations. Yes, Wall Street is alive and well as are those daily crossing the border and making fun of the USA as they do it.

I am one of the few Liberal Democrats of Cobb County.
I don't believe that these federal based GA budget cuts are political payback, but I will remind any who will read this, that the GA members of the US Congress are very much part of the obstructionist group that have made gains very difficult for President Obama over the last two years.

I find it amusing that those same "small government" Republicans who want to blame everything on the Federal Government being too big are also the very same Republicans who are "disappointed" that the Federal Government isn't sending more money for their pet projects. It's call "cognitive dissonance" for those who can't remember that they're both for and against big government.

Farmers are quick to protect against the risks that could jeopardize their bottom line, but few think about the consequences if something happens to them. In the event of an accident, could your farm survive?
Securing his farm's future is top of mind for Iowa farmer Chris Barron. To guarantee that happens, he makes sure more than one employee is competent enough to keep the various aspects of the operation going should those in management suffer an injury or even worse.
"I don't want to be the only one who knows how to do what I do," Barron says of the farm's record-keeping procedures.
Most people assume they are invincible, but leaving a legacy requires strategic, big-picture planning—and preparing for the worst, explains Farm Journal succession expert Kevin Spafford. Employing a capable workforce and protecting the financial side of the operation with adequate insurance are keys to longevity.
Spafford recommends that farm families consider purchasing three types of insurance: disability, life and long-term care.
Disability insurance. An important piece of a farm's financial security plan is ensuring that needs are met if the breadwinner is injured and cannot work.
"Farmers are often surprised by an initial price quote for disability insurance," Spafford says. "They should weigh the cost of coverage against the probability of loss and the support necessary to maintain the family's financial security."
When searching for the policy that is right for you, Spafford emphasizes, it is important to know how much money it takes to support your family. To calculate your pretax income needs, add your required monthly income to any other additional needs (bills that aren't monthly but have a real cost, such as taxes, car maintenance, etc.).
To determine your income during disability, add together your disability insurance benefits, your salary, your spouse's salary, investment income and any other income.
To calculate monthly coverage excess or deficiency, subtract your total pretax income needs from your income during disability. Once your needs are calculated, seek coverage from an insurance provider.
Life insurance. A death can jeopardize financial well-being and the future of the farm. That's where life insurance comes into play—it is designed to provide money when it is needed the most.
According to a study by the Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association, more than 6 million households in America do not have a life insurance policy. As a result, 22% will have immediate trouble with daily expenses if the primary wage earner dies, and 26% will be able to meet financial needs for only a few months.
To determine how much life insurance coverage is necessary, consider these five key areas:

Went just south of pier and got a tour on a double decker bus that gave us a narrated tour of downtown Boston and Cambridge. Also included was the Duck tour in the harbour. The only thing that could have made it better was the weather . It rained all day and couldn't get a decent picture unless you raised the flaps over the window. After the duck ride a different bus driver picked us up and narrated the remainder of the tour. He was a native of Boston in his late 50's and constantly gave us facts about each location and buildings.How he remember all the dates and names was beyond me. He was great !

|English abstract
|Transport of chemical components in soil through water is the major cause of pollution of the soil. This transport takes place around landfills and nuclear waste storage areas, tailings and mine wastes, and so on. A great number of these sites are unsaturated of water and in some cases heat can change the fate of chemical species, that lead us to a coupled problem. In this dissertation, numerical simulation with an existent thermo-hydro-mechanical model and theoretical modelisation and numerical simulation of transport and interactions of one chemical species in multiphase media are presented Integrated THM model in the Code_Aster is presented. Excavation, engineering barrier and thermal load of waste nuclear storage well are modeled. Verification of model is presented with these simulations. A thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviour coupled with chemical phenomena is presented with a fully coupled method that water, gas, chemical species and soil skeleton were considered as constituents and corresponding unknowns are temperature, water pressure, gas pressure, chemical concentration and displacements. For each constituent, mass balance equation and linear momentum equation are written and solved simultaneously to find related unknowns. The results of this model have been compared with the theoretical and experimental results existing in the literature. Furthermore, results of some applications of this model are included. Some areas where further work is required are identified. In particular, there is a need to perform experiments to obtain necessary soil parameters to permit accurate modelling of the heat and contaminant transport in unsaturated soils.

Who Should Be The Next Adoptee?
We'd like to add one more individual to the Born Free USA Adopt a Primate program and we need your help to decide! Tell us who you think will make the best new member of our adoption program.
Meet our three primate candidates below and click once to "Vote" and get a special free prize!
When you enter your email address and join our Action Alert Team, you can choose from one of two free primate prizes: a beautiful sanctuary screensaver or our exclusive primate ring tone. That's right, some of our own rescued primates will call out to you every time you receive a call! (Already a member of our Action Alert Team? No worries, you can still choose a free prize).
And it's not just you who will win, the winning monkey — and the entire troop he or she lives with — will all get an extra day's supply of fresh bananas, their favorite treat. Now that's a win-win contest for all!
Votes must be in by June 12, 2013.
Dewey was born at the Wild Animal Orphanage and came to us in mid-2012 along with 106 other macaques when that sanctuary closed. Dewey is an adventurous little stump-tail macaque, among the first to try out new climbing structures or toys in his enclosure. He's always on the go — climbing, swinging or just romping around. As the youngest member of his troop, he gets spooked pretty easily but his mother is always nearby and willing to give Dewy some comfort. He's very inquisitive and he loves trying new things. His favorite foods so far are hard-boiled eggs and bananas.
Hank is an energetic 5-year-old long-tail macaque who was brought to our sanctuary from the summer 2012 Wild Animal Orphanage rescue. When he was roughly 5 months old, his hand got caught in between two large branches and had to be amputated because it was too severely crushed. However, this handicap has not slowed the youngster and he is very active in his new enclosure. He strategically climbs up the trees, splashes in the pool, and keeps up with the rest of the group without much difficulty. He is one of the first to come and enjoy breakfast, grabbing a banana and climbing up to enjoy his meal while sitting above the others.
Nala is an impressive pig-tail macaque who joined our sanctuary from the defunct Wild Animal Orphanage. She has come a long way from her the days as a "pet" in California, where the owner had her roughly 4 years and then gave her up. Since her move to a sanctuary in San Antonio, her family grew and she became the top-ranking female within the group of 29 long-tail and pig-tail hybrid macaques. Nala is the mother of three females and two males out of this group, and she is also grandmother to the newest edition, Nadine. Her family members now enjoy their new home at our sanctuary inside a large enclosure with climbing structures, swings and, of course, a pool. Currently she is carrying her youngest daughter Natalya who is only 4 months old. This youngster explores her new surroundings at our sanctuary with her mother close by.
How to Vote
Just enter your email address and zip code below to join our Action Team and subscribe to our e-newsletter alerts. We'll also announce the winning primate in one of our Action Alerts toward the end of June.

High Maintenance Christianity: Don a Protective Shield
- Sunday, January 04, 2004
My ancestry is Irish. One look at me, and you'll know that's true. I have red highlights in my hair (even when I'm not applying it from a bottle!), fair complexion, and freckles on nearly every inch of my body. I even like Gaelic music! I'm Irish through and through. Therefore—with good reason—in 2002 and as I was preparing for my trip to Israel, a friend who'd already spent a few weeks there told me to "be sure to bring a good SPF."
"I used SPF 45 yesterday," she wrote in an email. "And I cooked!"
Every morning while in the Holy Land I applied foundation with SPF 15. Then I rubbed my arms and legs down with sun block with SPF 45. I kept the sun block with me during the day, reapplying often enough that my skin never blistered—even in the 112-degree heat at the Dead Sea.
When you go out in the sun, do you use SPF 15? 35? 45? Are you aware that even if you tan easily, the sun can produce havoc on your skin?
My growing up years were near the coast of Savannah. Summers were spent at Tybee Island. I distinctly remember looking at the women who "worshipped the sun," as my mother put it. One afternoon, as she and I were walking along the boardwalk, I asked her, "Why does their skin look like leather?"
"They've spent too much time in the sun," she told me.
I recall suntan lotion from those days (remember the Coppertone girl?), but nothing that mentioned SPF. Today it's as common for us to know our SPF number as it is our Social Security number. But do you even know what SPF means?
The Body Beautiful/Physical
SPF relates only to UVB rays. There are three different types of UV rays: UVC, UVA, and UVB.
UVC rays are the most damaging. Fortunately, the ozone layer keeps us from all being fry-babies. (Of course we all know about the treats to the ozone layer.)
UVA rays are not blocked by the ozone layer. Out of the three, UVA is the least damaging, but that hardly keeps it from being harmless. UVA is the culprit behind premature aging (boo-hiss!). It can damage blood vessels and even affect our DNA.
UVB are not entirely blocked by the ozone layer, but are by 99 percent. They are more prevalent in summer and only affect the outer layer of skin, but don't think all that means they're harmless. UVB rays cause sunburn faster and are the major cause of melanoma (skin cancer).
SPF means Sun Protection Factor as it relates to sunscreens, the purpose of which is to block UV rays from burning the skin at a higher rate than without sunscreen. The numbers correlate to the amount of time a person is able to stay in the sun with the sunscreen vs. without it. For example, SPF 15 means a person can play or stay in the sun 15 times longer than without sunscreen.
Sunscreen—like most things in life—has practical application tips to insure they work best.
1. Apply about 20 minutes before you go out in the sun.
2. Remember to reapply often.
3. Don't think that just because you applied a higher SPF you don't have to reapply. Even a high SPF can be sweated or wiped off, especially during work or play.
If you do sunburn, there's both good news and bad news. The bad news is, there's no cure. As a gal with fair complexion and my fair share of sunburns, I can tell you that I've tried just about everything to combat the pain and swelling of a severe burn (right down to putting baking soda in a tub of water and letting the combination "pull" the sting out. It was truly more painful than childbirth!). Cool baths, compresses, and moisturizers will also help as well as cooling gels, etc. However, if you develop a fever or chills (as I did once), upset stomach or confusion you must consult your physician.

Diesel generator near Altagracia on Ometepe
Diesel fuel is used to create electricity. A small amount of hydro-electric power is produced(See Carl´s post below.). No thermo power currently produced on Ometepe. There is a huge lagoon on Maderas Volcan. Water comes from there but not electricity. Concepcion Volcan is an active volcano with a small eruption last week.
Generator on Maderas
Hi Scoot,
There is a small generator on the stream coming out from Maderas. They collect the water at the base of the big waterfall that you can hike up to. It's fed by pipe down the long hill to a generating plant at the top of the road where you hike up from the west. It does not feed more than the small settlement there, though. But yes, there is hydropower on Ometepe.
