Why Chronic Unlocks?
- We are a US-based company, and we are in full compliace with US law in regards to unlocking.
- We have been referenced by very well-respected sources in the technology industry (
Example 1
Example 2
- We are the ones who supply a vast amount of online unlocking services as well as physical repair shops (This is done through our wholesale / Frequent Buyer program).
- We have an excellent track record of uptime for all unlock services, even when some have experienced worldwide server-side delays.
. Submit your IMEI number and contact information (To get the IMEI number of your handset, dial *#06# or get it from Settings->General->About - do
check the SIM tray, as that IMEI is inaccurate very often).
. We will take care of unlocking your device server-side, which should be done within the estimated turnaround time.
. You will get a notification to let you know the process is completed, as well as any additionanl instructions, if needed.
. Congratulations! Your iPhone is now permanently in the Apple unlock database.
Cancellation / Refund Policies (READ BEFORE PURCHASING)
- If you are not certain which network your handset is locked to, we strongly recommend that you utilize our
Carrier Check Tool
, which will allow you to verify the network your handset is locked to. If your device is locked to a different carrier, you will be refunded, but a $2.99 network check fee will be removed.
- We start processing orders on their respective unlock server very soon after an order is made, so cancellations of orders are not possible under any circumstances. We strongly advise you not to submit your IMEI elsewhere if you are placing an order with us, as we cannot even cancel / refund if the device has been successfully unlocked elsewhere (This is due to costs incurred on our end per-submission).
- We give tunaround times based on estimates from past orders. An unlock request cannot be 100% guaranteed to clear within the given time, as other variables could make things slightly slower, such as the IMEI not being clean or numerous failed unlock attempts being attempted on the IMEI through another vendor.
- If a device has a Blacklisted IMEI, although it can still be unlocked in regards to using other networks, we are not responsible for removing from any Country Blacklist, nor are we able to do so. This service is strictly for network unlocking.

I am several chapters into writing a book about the 22nd Texas Infantry (aka Hubbard's Regiment). Since Wood County provided many soldiers to the regiment, it is important to accurately document the families and the towns they called home.
If you have any suggestions regarding contacts or information to research Hubbard's Regiment in your area, please let me know. If there is specific info you would like included, please let me know.
It is my intention to include information about all its soldiers AND direct descendants of such soldiers.
You may reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com for additional information, text contributions, and photo contributions. Your help will be acknowledged in the book. The book should be ready by the end of this year.
Thank you,

This is my first dress from the Brazilian Manequim magazine. After trying to Google translate the instructions, I gave up and just did what I understood from the pattern itself.
I made the dress for a friend's wedding, and now I seem to wear it to almost all occasions! It is very comfortable.
The fabric is a very crisp crepe that I bought at Paron's in NY.

EVE Online developer CCP bundled their players' names into a pod earlier this week and shot it into the stratosphere, as near to space as they could get it.
The weather balloon to which the pod was attached also had a camera on board. Earlier, we had amazing stills of the view far above Iceland, and now CCP has assembled a highlight reel of the video as well. It's a stunning view from 30,480m above the Earth (if a bit dizzying in the middle), but unless you live in Iceland, you probably can't see your house from there.
Sadly, all great journeys must come to an end, and eventually balloon, capsule, and camera all returned to Earth, plopping gently into the water.

Ready to give up on a dream?
Ready to give up on dream?
Kevin Foote
December 8, 2004
The New Orleans Saints are one of the worst teams in a watered-down, mediocre NFL these days.
And considering they've only won a single playoff game in 38 years, you'd have to rank our boys from the Crescent City as one of the worst franchises in the history of the league.
So it's not exactly the peak time for owner Tom Benson and his management types to be traveling around the state pleading their case that the Superdome needs to be renovated and appealing to a long, seemingly lost statewide love affair for the Black and Gold.
Saints' executive vice president Arnold Fielkow visited our newspaper last week with a presentation about the future of the franchise in Louisiana.
Some of what he said made sense, some of his answers to our questions merely beat around the bush and some didn't appear to be accurate on the surface.
Fielkow said one thing, however, that rang very true in my ears, and it's the one issue that needs to be strongly considered from both sides.
The statement was that if the Saints leave New Orleans, the NFL will never return to Louisiana again. It may sound like a threat to some, but folks, it's true.
On paper, this region simply can't afford an NFL franchise. The only reason why it has one now is that it obtained a team almost 40 years ago when the league's economic structure was a very different animal.
So to all who are down on the Saints and bitter about any demands that they're making with a 4-8 record, the real question is, are you ready to give up on having a team forevermore?
Are you ready to forget about John Gilliam's kickoff return in the first-ever Saints' game in 1967?
Are you ready to forget about the memorable 51-42 record-breaking win at St. Louis in 1969?
Are you ready to discard the memory of Tom Dempsey's 63-yard field goal in 1970?
Are you ready to throw out the Saints' defense holding O.J. Simpson to his lowest rushing total of 1973 (79 yards) when he eclipsed 2,000 yards?
Are you ready to forget about the excitement of those first few playoff temptations in 1978, 1979 and 1983 when a few horrible breaks kept New Orleans from postseason play?
Are you ready to toss out the memories of 1987 when a nine-game winning streak produced the thrills of a first-ever playoff trip?
Are you ready to diminish that one special moment when the Saints jumped out to a 7-0 lead on Minnesota in that first playoff game, before everything came crashing down in 44-10 defeat?
Are you really ready to throw aside the stretch between 1987 and 1993 when the Saints had seven straight seasons without a losing record and four double-digit win seasons to finally bring pride to the fans?
Are you really ready to forget about the excitement of that first-ever playoff win over St. Louis in 2000?
Are you ready to rip off that unique badge of courage Saints' fans wore for so many years decorated with the frustrations of all the raw deals handed to New Orleans over the years by such teams as 49ers, Falcons, Giants Vikings, and Dolphins?
It indeed has been a rugged ride filled with tears, bitterness and repeated disappointments, but it's been a ride.
Do we really wish that the Saints had never existed? Were all the losses so painful that you really wish you never had a team in the state to support?
Do we really want to throw away that slim chance that one day the Saints might actually get to the Super Bowl?
So before we let the franchise's present demise affect our decision-making, let's really make sure that we don't want a team 20 to 30 years from now.
Because when it's gone, it's gone  forever.

Safety is paramount when it comes to pool parties, especially when they involve children. Be sure to provide enough supervision. Before letting a child dip one foot in the water, educate him or her about the rules of playing in water. This includes not running around the pool and not pushing others into the pool. Safety also requires providing protection from the sun rays with sunblock and sunglasses.
Remind guests to bring their own towels and swimsuits, as well as a change of clothing, if necessary.
Keep the food light, as guests will be swimming. Keep hydrated, especially during the summer, with water, juices and teas.
Add music, games and food and the party is sure to create a splash.

The Current Average Price Per Square Foot for Lenexa, KS
Average Price per Square Footage
How do you calculate the Average Price per Sqft?
- The Average Price per Sqft is the average of sold price divided by square footage of sold listings.
What Does Average Price per Sqft. Report Do?
- It helps establish the market price for an average home.
- It helps determine if there is any change in property value for a specific area in a specific price range.
How to Use Average Price per Sqft. Report?
- Use the highest and lowest monthly average price per square foot on the chart to establish the most marketable price range in a specific area.
- If the home has a larger than normal lot, a special amenity, or is located in an area of social demand, the home price must be adjusted upward.
- Refer to For Sale vs. Sold Report for the number of properties sold per month. If there are less than five properties sold per month for a specific price range, the average price per square foot might be skewed and is not as useful. In this case, an average of the fifteen month's or more figures should be used in setting the price.
You Should Know
- The garage area is not included in the square footage price calculation.
- Individual listings in the MLS system without square foot information are excluded in the average square foot price calculation.

Like last year, I have made my trusted Australian Women's Weekly fruitcake but have made two changes. Firstly, I have made it in a round tin (OK, not exactly revolutionary), secondly I have used chopped crystallised ginger in place of one of the fruits – just pick your least favourite fruit ingredient and blue pencil it.
The most fun part of this recipe, because it feels so odd, is when the cake comes out of the oven. Straightaway you have to brush the additional brandy over the cake and then wrap the whole thing (the cake is still in the tin) tightly in tin foil. For the rest of the day whenever I wander past my mummified cake I can't resist feeling the foil to see how hot it still is! It takes hours to cool down – it will take overnight.
The cake is very moist – this photo shows how the brandy seeps into the cake:
As is the way with a Christmas cake, it won't be cut until the big day so I'll post pictures of cut slices when that happens. My Christmas cake is always served sans marzipan and icing because it only gets picked off and left on the plate. I asked the CCD (Caked Crusader's Da), who is the main consumer of Christmas cake, whether I should put some whole blanched almonds on the top for decoration and he looked at me like I was insane. Fruitcake for him is just that.
Although I've called this Christmas fruitcake it would better be named Year cake for me, as the CCD is pretty much the only one who eats it and he makes it last throughout the year. The cake keeps perfectly in an airtight container and doesn't dry out at all.
Post Christmas update:
The cake has now been cut and declared a success. The consensus was that the addition of ginger was most welcome. As always I served the cake simply with just a frill and a message!
The happy snowman frill is very cute:
You can see that the cake is moist and packed with fruit:
250g sultanas
250g raisins
140g chopped seeded prunes
110g currants
125g chopped seeded dates
110g chopped crystallised ginger
60g chopped glacé cherries
125ml brandy
250g unsalted butter
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind
200g brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
4 eggs
225g plain flour
75g self raising flour
1 teaspoon mixed spice
60ml brandy for brushing on the hot cake
How to make:
- At least one day before you make the cake, place all the fruit (i.e. the first 7 items on the ingredients list) into a large bowl and pour on the brandy. Cover the bowl and, whenever you think of it, give the fruit a stir so it evenly absorbs the brandy.
- Preheat oven to 150°C/fan oven 130°C/300°F/ Gas mark 2 and line either a 19cm square tin or 23cm round tin with greaseproof paper. As the baking time is so long, use two or three layers of paper and make sure that the paper comes up approximately 5cm above the edge of the tin. This protects the cake from burning.
- Beat the butter, lemon rind and sugar in a bowl until well combined.
- Add the honey and beat until combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time and beat after each addition. By the time you reach the final egg the mix may start to curdle but don't worry – nothing bad will happen! If curdling upsets you add a little of the flour to counter it.
- Stir in the fruit and then stir in the flours and spice.
- Spoon into the cake tin and even the surface.
- Bake for approximately 3 hours or until a skewer comes out cleanly. I'd recommend checking the cake after 2 ½ hours. If the top is colouring too much, put a sheet of baking paper over it. Mine took exactly 2 hours 45 minutes.
- This is where the recipe differs to other fruit cakes you may have made. As soon as you remove the cake from the oven, brush on the extra brandy.
- Wrap the cake, still in the tin, tightly in foil. This ensures the cake extra moist. Leave to cool completely over night.
- The next day, remove the cake from the tin and wrap in fresh greaseproof paper and foil. Keep in an airtight container until you are ready to use.
- Decorate as desired.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

From Middle English fin, fyn, from Old French fin ("fine, minute, exact"), probably from Latin finitus ("literally finished (used as an adjective by Cicero, of words, well rounded)"), past participle of fīnīre ("to limit, bound, define, terminate, finish"), from finis ("a limit, end").

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Six students from the MIT field hockey team were recently named to the National Academic squad by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA). Tech was also honored for its team academic success, after posting a cumulative grade point average of 3.36, marking the ninth consecutive year MIT has received the National Academic Team Award.
Seniors Keri Dixon, Jessica Oleinik, Danielle Smith and Alex Wright garnered All-Academic honors for the third year in a row. Michelle Dion and Molly McShane also received the distinction for the first time.
The Engineers were one of 103 teams nationwide to be recognized for their overall academic achievement. Seven New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) teams were honored by the NFHCA.

When he was 13 years old, Sunny Jane decided to leave his home country of Lesotho and move to the United States to advance his soccer career.
Last Sunday, Jane took another step along that path as he contributed two goals and an assist as the second-seeded Terps cruised to a 5-1 victory over Coastal Carolina in the NCAA tournament. The win secured a trip to the quarterfinals and a rematch against Louisville on Saturday at 5 p.m. in College Park.
The matchup with the Cardinals is particularly interesting for Jane because his first trip to the College Cup hinges on beating a college from Kentucky, the state in which he settled after coming to the country.
Born in Lesotho, a landlocked country within the borders of South Africa, Jane started playing soccer at age 4, after beginning to learn the sport a year earlier. A young Jane would watch his older brother, Jane Jane, a Lesotho national team member, and constantly ask him to teach the skills he displayed on the field.
The elder Jane's instruction came with a condition — if Sunny wanted to learn the moves, he needed quick feet.
With the condition set, Sunny worked tirelessly to increase his agility, from jumping rope to running posts.
As Jane grew, so did his potential — at 13, he was already working with Lesotho's under-18 team. Word spread to Thabane Sutu, a former goalkeeper for the Lesotho national team who was coaching at the renowned soccer club United 1996 in Louisville.
With United 1996 recruiting him to come to the United States, it was time for Jane to make the choice to leave Lesotho or stay in the country. Making the decision tougher was the fact that Jane's father, Teboho, had recently died after becoming sick from working in the mines. But, with the blessing of his mother, Majane, Jane chose to go.
The transition to this country was difficult. All at once Jane had to juggle a drastic time difference, new food, a new culture, and new rules, as well as learning English.
"It was terrible," Jane said with a laugh. "I couldn't form a good, long sentence."
But the biggest problem came from being homesick. Jane called home as much as he could, but he knew it wasn't the same as seeing his family in person.
Once the initial difficulties passed, Jane flourished in Kentucky. He became an all-state player at Trinity High, and was listed as the No. 10 recruit in the country by TopDrawerSoccer.com before committing to play for Maryland and coach Sasho Cirovski.
"Sunny and I connected immediately," said Cirovski, who grew up in Macedonia and left home at age 17 to pursue soccer in the United States. "We have a very special bond."
His quick feet rapidly became a main attraction a Ludwig Field, as the 5-foot-6 midfielder dazzled spectators with his agility and foot skills. Jane played in 19 games as a freshman and became a starter in his sophomore year.
"He puts teams on their heels," said Cirovski, who routinely calls Jane one of the most dynamic players in the country. "He can pull that shake-and-bake and leave you in the dust."
But Jane has struggled offensively in 2012 — the goals Sunday were his first two of the season, and he only recorded four assists.
"He's been snakebit around the goal," Cirovski said. "We've all expected him to score more and get more assists … but we always have faith in him."
Jane said: "I was really frustrated, but it's something I didn't let get to my head."
That positive outlook is expected from someone with the nickname, "Sunny." His first name is Tsotleho, but he has been called "Sunny" since he was a child because of the "light" he brought to the family in dark times.
"Sunny is a perfect name for him — he lights up the room when he walks in," Cirovski said. "You can't help but feel better when you see Sunny."
Jane's first goal in 2012 did more than break a slump. It could signal the re-emergence of another weapon for the Terps as they contend for a national title, setting up a fantastic finish for the junior, giving him momentum for his senior year. And once again it came down to a decision.
Isolated with a defender 10 yards from the goal on an angle, Jane could have gone left or right. He used his speed to cut left before dancing briefly and squeezing a shot just inside the net to give the Terps a 3-1 lead. He sprinted to the left corner, unleashed a 1000-watt smile and a tiny dance in celebration, all before being swarmed by the team.
Once again, Sunny Jane made the right choice.

April 28, 2006
BABSON PARK, Mass. - Deanna Lentz scored five of her six goals in the second half and three in the final 10 minutes, but time ran out on the senior co-captain as fourth-seeded Babson College (10-7, 4-3 NEWMAC) held on for a 14-12 win over the fifth-seeded Engineers (4-8, 2-5 NEWMAC) in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference quarterfinal contest on Thursday. The loss marked the seventh time this season MIT has fallen by two goals or less. The Beavers were led by freshman Jackie Godfrey, who scored five goals in her first game back from injury.
The Engineers looked poised from the opening draw and went up 3-1 almost eight minutes into the game on goals by senior Randee Miller, junior Mary Harding and sophomore Laura Watson. Unfortunately for MIT, the lead would be its last as freshman Lindsay Bucci jump-started her team with three straight goals over a span of three and a half minutes. The Beavers then scored four of the next six goals to close out the half with an 8-5 advantage.
Godfrey extended Babson's lead at 33:59 of the second frame, but Deanna Lentz was determined to keep MIT afloat. She capitalized on a free position attempt at 36:07 and then stopped a 2-0 Babson run at 42:17 with her third goal of the game. Still down 11-7, MIT got some unexpected help from freshman Lily He, who notched her first collegiate goal at 48:32.
With just over 10 minutes left, the Beavers went on a 3-1 run that would essentially seal the victory, despite a valiant effort by Lentz. She would score twice more before time ran out, completing a six-goal, two-assist outing.
Babson proved to have too much fire power, as Lindsay Bucci (four goals) and Anita Martignetti (three goals) tallied hat tricks along with teammate Godfrey. In goal, junior Jennie Williams made 11 saves in the victory, while MIT netminder junior Hee Jay Kang turned aside 19 shots.

A little birdie told me about a house going up for sale in Houston. Not just ANY house, but a fabulous house completely redone and decorated by one of my favorite interior designers. Should I give you her initials? Nah, that is too easy - it would give it away immediately! Anyway, the house is owned by the father of one of my favorite antique dealers – so I expect it will be filled with gorgeous antiques from France and Belgium. AND, it sits on one of the prettiest, shadiest streets in Houston (care to guess which street that is?) (I feel like Hedda Hopper here – whoever THAT is!)
And so, here I sit, while I wait and wait and wait until the listing shows up on HAR. It's driving me crazy. I find myself in my car or at Starbucks clicking onto my I-Phone or my I-Pad (which if you haven't gotten one yet- GET ONE! They are unreal!) every hour or so just waiting for this listing to show up. So far, nothing's happening. NADA. But, have no fear, when this fabulous house actually does go up for sale, I'll be showing it here, for sure, no matter how many other Houston bloggers show it too. Anyway, so while I'm stalking HAR just waiting for this most fabulous listing to appear, I found a trio of houses that you might like to see in the meantime. This time, I have tried to source items from the houses for you to see that you can get the look yourself. Two of the houses are very reasonably priced, while one is slighter higher in price.
AND SHOCK!!!! HAR has updated their web site with new picture sizes. For the newest listings, the pictures are huge! WOW!!!! FINALLY!!!!! Thank you HAR!!
The first house, located in West University, has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths PLUS quarters with a bath above the detached garage. It was built in 1992 and has been remodeled and professionally decorated. At 4,088 sq. ft., it is for sale for $1,399,000 and is the most expensive of the three houses shown today. The listing is HERE.
The entry has a cute table with sconces and a mirror. The stairs have a seagrass runner.
Aidan Gray has a very similar table HERE. Order Aidan Gray products from Olivine HERE.
For much less, Ballard Designs has a similar console with a heart shaped motif HERE.
The living room is pretty in blues with creamy curtains and bamboo shades. Of course I love the sofa – it's just like mine!!! I also love the framed sea fans. I am really liking blue walls lately. Hmmm. Makes me want to paint my bedroom blue again! Here is a very similar sofa:
The "Mutton Bone Country Sofa" from Hien Lam Upholsters in Houston HERE. I have sold this sofa a few times – it is so great – it's deep and tall yet it doesn't take up extra room.
The family room has a slipcovered brown velvet sofa with three armchairs. The coffee table ottoman is so wonderful.
Aidan Gray makes a very similar table. To order furniture from Aidan Gray, contact Olivine HERE.
The dining room has a beautiful light fixture and a great French buffet with an antique Louis Philippe mirror above it. The walls are wallpapered in a textured grasscloth and the drapes are a cute plaid. The chairs look like they are antique leather. I love this room!!!
For $975, Wisteria has a similar looking buffet HERE.
Ballard Designs has a similar look for $1,199.00 HERE.
The kitchen has been updated with stainless appliances, granite and a new backsplash.
I love the table in the breakfast room! Wonderful shades and light fixture.
The powder room has been updated with another cute Italian light fixture, a new cabinet, and wallpaper. All three elements in this small space flow with the rest of the downstairs decor. Aidan Gray's Italian wood chandeliers like this come in sizes small to large.
The master bedroom is great. The headboard most likely came from Indulge in Houston (see below) and is a real show stopper, as is the carpet – Antelope! Love it!!!! Call Carol Piper Rugs in Houston HERE for carpet like this. Love the sconces instead of lamps and the skirted tables instead of nightstands. Love everything there including, of course, the chandelier and the sofa in front of the window.
The headboard is the famous "Isaac" from Indulge in Houston HERE. Cynthia, the owner, designed the headboard and named it after her husband. It's very popular in Houston as you can see why – it's sooooo fabulous!!!
Shades of Light has a similar looking fixture for $1550 HERE.
Restoration Hardware has a similar large lighting fixture for $1999. HERE.
Cute little girl's room with a pink bedspread.
And equally cute little boys room with darling bedding.
The back yard looks big for West University – and includes an outdoor kitchen and tree house. This house really shows how if you upgrade your light fixtures and your window treatments, it will go so far in making your house look fresh and more up to date. I would love to know who decorated this house – they did a great job!!
This house is located in Avalon, right next to River Oaks. Built in 1955, it's 2,248 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. It's on the small side, but it is located in a great neighborhood. The attraction to me is the way it is decorated. The owner is obviously young and is a great fan of design, plus she loves to shop, as you will see! Looking at all the things she has bought – they are pieces that I would have personally bought too – which makes me smile. Kindred spirits!! It says this house has been featured in design magazines – so I would love to know who the interior decorator was or perhaps the owner did the designing. Anyone know? Asking price for this house is only $825,000 – a steal for a young family to get into this neighborhood!!! To see the listing for this house, go HERE.
The front door opens up into a wonderful entry hall with black and white floors. I'm not sure if these are marble, tile, or wood painted floors, but either way, they are so effective here. I love the glimpse into the guest room. The dining room is to the right of the powder room and the kitchen is to the left. The house has a nice, open flow to it. The black and white wallpaper is fabulous as is the iron banister and the seagrass covering the entry and stairs. Notice the old fashioned door bell on the front door.
View towards the living room on the left. I think I might have run the wallpaper up the stairs, but perhaps the owner thought it was too busy? Maybe. Not sure what the light fixture is because the flash distorts it. The staircase is so beautiful – such a nice change from wood banisters.
The living room is filled with everything I love – slipcovered sofas and cowhide rugs, pairs of lamps, transferware, ironstone, and a wonderful starburst mirror.
Ikea has cowhide rugs for $199 – which is a great price! HERE.
Suzanne Kasler's new line at Ballard Designs features an assortment of sunburst mirrors starting at $79. HERE.
Looking the other way towards the family room and back yard. I'm guessing the homeowner likes to visit the Round Top Antique Fair – all the ironstone and baskets and demijohns remind me of Round Top.
The dining room has a skirted table with monogrammed slipped chairs and a really cute light fixture. The floor is painted and there is a mock fireplace in here.
The kitchen has been completely redone – that marble slab is to die for! Really cute – love the counter stools.
Copies of Tabouret bar stools from Overstock.com HERE!!!
The breakfast room leads from the living room and kitchen. The windows in this house are great – it's so bright.
The family room leads off the living room and overlooks the back yard.
The powder room – notice the hanging basket filled with extra toilet paper – what a cute idea! I've actually used this wallpaper before, in red, for a client (HI LINDA!) And, love, love, love the skirted sink. You could skirt a water heater and I would probably love that too!!
Nice, shady back yard. This is a great house for the price and location. I'm shocked it hasn't sold yet.
House #3 is located in West University – it's an original, dating from 1940. Listing for $785,000, it has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths and is 2,64 sq. ft. The garage is for one car only. The listing is HERE. While the front is nice, the back facade is a huge surprise:
Wow. This is unexpected – but so great! The porches and landscaping add so much value to this house.
The azaleas are Houston's most popular flowering bush. Each spring, there is an Azalea Festival where people in River Oaks and Tanglewood open their houses and gardens for touring. While the house itself is pretty enough, the interiors are even prettier:
The front door opens to the staircase, with the mushroom colored living room on the right. This is so serene. The tables are contemporary while the mirror and lamps are antique looking. Lamps similar to those flanking the sofa are available through Aidan Gray. The Louis Philippe mirror is most likely an antique. I love the tufted chairs – a nice change from slipcovered. The interiors are so pretty – I wonder, again, who the decorator was. I have a suspicion, but does anyone know for sure?
You know I'm going to like the dining room with its skirted table and Louis XVI style chairs. Great light fixture too.
Shades of Light has a similar looking fixture HERE.
The family room has fabric shades and a light marble fireplace surround. It's hard to get a real feel for this room from this picture because of the angle, but it appears long and narrow.
Through the family room is the breakfast room and the kitchen. Nice stainless appliances and granite topped island.
Beautiful table, probably antique or old. Here you can see the fabric shades close up – I really like them, linen-y and scrunch-y!! Cute high chair too. So much better than all those fancy plastic and foam contraptions that everyone uses today. Why???
Beautiful bedroom, comfortable and soothing – just what a bedroom should be! I love the window treatments – of course in a bedroom you want black out – so how to handle the triangle shaped area? The designer made a good choice with the shutters. The curtains soften the entire room. Love the seagrass carpet (of course) and I really love the sofa instead of a bench at the foot of the bed. I can only imagine how wonderful the view is off the balcony. I would love that in my own bedroom – a balcony. I assume this room and the connecting bathroom are new additions.
Hien Lam makes a similar sofa HERE. But they will copy anything with a picture.
Totally updated master bathroom with marble counters and floor.
Little Girl's Room: sooo sweet! I love the twin beds and the fabric shades. These beds were probably once stained dark. Don't be afraid to repaint dark wood furniture light. You can always redo it, though you will lose the patina. But, if you don't like the dark wood – and its' not a period antique, seriously consider painting it. These headboards would not be nearly as cute if they were still a dark wood stain. And another point – antique or vintage headboards sometimes require custom mattresses. Again, don't let this scare you! Google a mattress maker in your area and get a quote. You will be shocked at how reasonable a custom sized mattress is! I had to get one made for my guest room and it was cheaper than if I had gone to Mattress Warehouse.
I hope you've gotten some ideas from the sources listed on how to get a certain design look while not spending a fortune doing it. In the meantime, I'm still waiting for that fabulous listing to show up. Waiting and waiting. I've already checked HAR three times today!! I hope this isn't some rumor that will never come true. I am DYING to see the inside of this house – the owner's daughters has the best antique store in Houston and the decorator is a favorite with Cote de Texas readers!!!
I am going to be picking a winner Saturday night in Cotton Eye Joe giveaway. You still have a few hours to enter if you haven't already!!!!

This is a detailed overview of my pneumatic press, complete with part numbers where applicable.
The mold is adjustable for different effective edge lengths, and different nose/tail lengths and rises. I tend to stick with a single camber block that has yielded good results for us over a broad range of shapes and lengths. I have an ever growing selection of nose/tail blocks. If a new block shape is needed for a particular build then I'll design a new one and whip it up on the CNC machine.
The press is designed to handle boards up to 200cm long with ease. It's built out of steel W12x40 I-beams that are 12" high, 8" wide, 9' long and weigh 40lbs/ft. There are two beams side-by-side on the top and bottom for a cavity width of 16". The top beams are supported by two 16" long beams turned on their sides for a cavity height of 12". That puts the total weight of just the I-beam material in the press at 1,547lbs.
Many question the use of I-beams turned 90 degrees as the separator between the two layers, and yes, in the limit, there is the possibility of minute deflection allowing bowing of the upper and lower beams. In practice, however, I have not found this to be an issue.
Frame Assembly
Part numbers: 91257A748, 94895A825, and 98023A033.
I put the press on casters, and although the final weight with everything in it is right around 2,000lbs, it's easy to move. Part numbers 22955T42 and 22955T36.
I torque the frame bolts to 40ft lbs to ensure that all of the bolts are under pretty much equal tension once the press is pressurized. There is nothing scientific about the choice of torque, it is just something that felt reasonably tight using a normal crescent wrench. The only goal is that they are all the same.
Airflow to the bladders is controlled with a hand-operated lever air control valve, 4-way, 3-position, closed center. Part number 3368K26. It's hooked up so that when the lever is in the center, no air flows. When the lever is to the right, air flows into the bladders, and when the lever is to the left air flows from the bladders out the exhaust.
The exhaust is muffled with a simple sintered bronze exhaust muffler, part number 4450K2. It's about $2 and completely worth it to save your hearing.
Overall pressure to the system is limited to 90psi with a simple brass pop-safety valve, part number 48435K72.
There is a pressure gauge and pressure regulator on the input side and a gauge on the bladder side to monitor the actual bladder pressure when the valve is closed.
The single best guide I've found for how to solder copper pipe is Soldering and Brazing Copper Tube and Fittings, directly from the Copper Development Association, Inc.
Bladder Connections
People usually have a lot of trouble constructing leak free bladders. They usually seem to end up with a lot of "goop" involved in an effort to stop leaks at the ends and at the through couplings. The bladders in my press are essentially leak free to 90psi with only Teflon tape.
The ends are held together with standard 1″ angle iron from Home Depot using seven 3/8″ Grade 8 bolts: two on the outside ends, one in between the hoses, and two through each hose. They're torqued down pretty snug, but we didn't kill ourselves tightening them. No silicon sealant, plumber's goop, etc., and no leaks.
The through couplings were more of a challenge. We went through a few tests before settling on what you see below. If you look closely at the full sized image you'll see a little soapy water around most of it. This picture was taken with the bladders at 90psi. Again, no goop. The secret here is the combination of the three kinds of washers, and the simple fact that the nut for the panel mount coupling is on the outside of the bladder. The washer configuration is repeated on the inside. The 1/8″ thick rubber washers are against the bladder, then the steel, then the Aramid/Buna-N between the steel and the brass nuts. The result is a great seal with the bladder, and a great seal to the nuts. This is not super-tight… just snug, with a little deformation in the rubber washer visible during assembly.
The steel washers are the standard 3/4″ washers from Home Depot. Here are the other parts and the McMaster-Carr part numbers:
- Med-Pressure Extruded Brass Thrd Pipe Fitting 1/4″ Pipe Size, Panel Mount Coupling, 50785K273
- 3/4″ Screw Size, 2″ Od, 1/8″ Thick Large-Od Extra-Thick Reinforced Rubber Washer (10), 90131A106
- Aramid/Buna-N Washer 3/4″ Id, 1-1/2″ Od, .0625″ Thick (5), 93303A317
These parts aren't super-cheap, but they're completely worth it.
All aluminum used for mold skins is 0.032" 5052-H32 aluminum that I get from Alaskan Copper & Brass Company here in Seattle. From top to bottom I have the following:
- top MDF mold and 2×4 fillers.
- bladder
- 1"x16" steel cat track bars
- top heat assembly
- one aluminum skin
- top heat blanket
- one aluminum skin
- board assembly
- aluminum top mold skin
- snowboard
- aluminum base mold skin
- bottom heat assembly
- one aluminum skin
- bottom heat blanket
- one aluminum skin
- MDF mold
This allows for easy insertion of the board into the press after wet layup.
Each assembly is held together with a very simple system: 4 holes are drilled near the edges of the aluminum skins, two on each side, and the two sheets of aluminum with either a heat blanket or the laminate are held together with small lengths of 12awg copper wire, or with zip ties. You can see these poking out the sides in some of the pictures.

Martin Shapes Hot Curls
My dad introduced the hot curl surfboard to me. I remember being so proud every time I walked into the original Hobie store in Dana Point as a young boy. I'd look up at the vintage surfboard collection lined up around the walls. One of the boards in the most prominent spot was my dads. This particular board was one of the first boards he made. The board was a varnished (no fiberglass and resin) 10 foot Balsa and Redwood finless hot curl. The last board he made is a replica of these first hot curls. It is on display for all to see and appreciate at the current Hobie store in Dana Point.
When my dad started surfing there were no surf shops in San Diego. Very few surfboards existed. Most of the boards being ridden were called 'planks". The outline was very straight and they had little if anything for a fin. They were anywhere from 80 to 100 pounds. Very difficult to simply carry to the water let alone ride a wave with. Pretty much the only other boards around were "prone style" hollow wooden paddleboards. Neither of these designs were acceptable boards to my dad when it came to his idea of what you might best surf on. He set out to make his own conception of a surfboard. He told me he'd seen a picture of what they called a Hawaiian board at the time. The look of the Hawaiian board made sense to him. This is what he based his first board on. Made out of lightweight Balsawood his first one finished out at around 20 pounds, had a pulled in tail, belly in the bottom contour, tucking into a vee bottomed tail section. No fin was attached, although he told me they did experiment with some small keel type fins on some of the hot curls he made. In the end the design remained finless.
His favorite place to surf was down the street from his parent's house on Point Loma. A spot the other surfers called "Terry's Slide". The wave works best at low tide and had quite a bit of kelp in the lineup. As surfing became more popular board designs evolved. Fins were becoming a common fixture on surfboards. Terry's Slide was generally discarded as a potential surf spot due to kelp interfering with your fin while surfing and hungry rocks ate lost surfboards on the inside. Leashes were not used at this time. The finless hot curl slid right over the kelp and due to its reduced weight was easier to hang onto in the event you fell. My dad and his brother (liked to ride a hot curl as well) had this great wave to themselves. This break is called "Osprey" today.
I spent quite a bit of time in and around my dad's shaping room starting at a young age. My first real job was as the clean up kid at the old Hobie factory in Capistrano Beach. I graduated from pushing a broom around to cutting out and foiling fins. Foiling fins was to me like simply shaping a surfboard on a small scale. I had to make more than one at a time and they needed to be accurately duplicated. I didn't get paid hourly but by the piece. I was anxious to reduce time spent at work. Priority was pursuing "more important things" like diving, surfing, fishing and such. I sought input from my dad as to how I might develop a method of accurately and quickly duplicating fins. He was great at creating systems for making any task easier, quicker, and most importantly produce a consistent high quality result. Needless to say I got better and quicker at fin foiling.
In the late 80's I began shaping full time at Just add Water Surfboards in Laguna Canyon. Soon after I started I was presented with an opportunity to shape several hundred identical boards for display in JC Penny's. I was to be paid half of what I'd make for shaping any other board at the time but I chose to accept the offer. I ended up rather annoyed as the quantity of boards requested doubled shortly after I agreed to the initial order. There were no computer shaping programs or CNC shaping machines at this point. The boards were to be hand shaped. I remember my dad telling me this was a great chance to hone my production skills. I look back today and think to myself what a privilege to have had that opportunity. Systems and methods developed back then are second nature muscle memory today.
Not to many people make a living at simply shaping surfboards. It is not an overly lucrative trade and generally does not come with standard employee benefits like health insurance, sick pay, etc.. My mom needed a medical procedure at one point. My dad didn't have the cash to pay for it so he took a quick inventory of items he might sell to pay for the operation. The hot curl in Hobies came to mind. A quick call to good friend and surfboard collector Flippy Hoffman and it was a done deal. Operation paid for and Flippy had my dad's unique hot curl added to his collection. Years passed and I'd occasionally think of that board. About 15 years ago I began asking my dad about that hot curl. Why no fin? How many did he make? Did other guys ride them? What kind of waves did they ride? What kind of maneuvers were they able to perform? Did he ever make one out of foam? Many good stories were told.
One day my dad surprised me with a gift. A beautiful 10′ Balsa/Mahogany hot curl replica, like the ones he first made. This board hangs in my living room. He signed it with an inscription that reads "PASSING YOUTHFULL MEMORIES OF THE EARLY 50's TO MY SON IS A JOY TO MY HEART – LOVE DAD". I remember really debating whether or not to ride it. The fact that it is 70 pounds and if lost on a wave will go straight to the beach due to lack of a fin (possibly decapitating a couple people on the way) led me to request a "rider" model. We ordered a 12'3″ Clark Foam blank. Made with classic foam and 3 nice thick Basswood stringers. We were looking for some weight. The hot curl design my father utilized needs weight to perform as intended. 30 to 40 pounds was our target weight. I spent a day with him shaping it. Learning from him how the wave would "cradle" the curves and contours we put into the board. Glassed with a double layer of Volan top and bottom the board made its target weight. It is easier to surf than I imagined. Based on this board I am currently making hot curls out of both foam and traditional Balsawood. US Blanks recently did a fabulous job of building a custom "hot curl" rockered 10'8Y blank in "tow" weight for me. This made for a beautiful 10 foot 35 pound rider. Their 11'3D blank works quite well too, again with the custom rocker.
There are a few hurdles (mostly in my mind) I find I need to overcome in riding my hot curl. The tail does not "lift" when catching a wave, giving me the impression I have not caught the wave. The board does initially want to broach a bit until the wave has "caught" it. White water is not your friend. The air in the white water causes cavitation. The wave "lets go" of the board and control is lost. I don't argue with this fact but find it funny that there is really only about 6 inches of "sweet spot" in which to stand on a 10 foot board. You cannot tail turn a hot curl. Nose riding is not much of an option. If the board has the correct shape and weight the wave interacts with the board in such a natural way. The board seems to just "find" natural trim. The wave "cradles" the board. You are surfing "in" the wave, not on it. The kind of surf I like to ride mine in is a lined up feathering wall. My dad always said the bigger and better the wave the better the hot curl works. I find that they are quite fun in small surf too but it's best to have long wall to trim on. They feel very nimble in the water for the length and weight. I like to describe the hot curl ride as if you are allowed to play the roll of passenger but you must behave. If you do, you will be rewarded with a unique rich glide into a wonderful corner of the surfing experience.
-Josh Martin
Editors Note :: Inspired by Jeff Quam's soulful surfing style, 6 of us from Hobie Surf Shop asked to meet him at Doheny to try his mythical finless 'Hot Curl' surfboards. It was a trip!! There was a LOT of falling and a LOT of laughing as we all gave them our best go…. the boards worked the best when you stopped trying to ride them, and instead, let the board take you where it wanted to go. Thank you to Terry Martin, Josh Martin, Jeff Quam, Andy Cowell, and the lovely waters of Doheny for making this a session to remember. Enjoy!!

My opinion about this book is that it is great. This book is full of adventure and surprises. I like the pictures in the book. I like the colors that the illustrator used. I found the little rat to be very interesting, because she was funny and determined.
I recommend this book because if you read it you will not be bored. It will keep you on your toes and you will not be able to put it down.

Incorporating a modeling approach throughout, this exciting text emphasizes concepts and shows that the study of differential equations is a beautiful application of the ideas and techniques of calculus to everyday life. By taking advantage of readily available technology, the authors eliminate most of the specialized techniques for deriving formulas for solutions found in traditional texts and replace them with topics that focus on the formulation of differential equations and the interpretations of their solutions. Students will generally attack a given equation from three different points of view to obtain an understanding of the solutions: qualitative, numeric, and analytic. Since many of the most important differential equations are nonlinear, students learn that numerical and qualitative techniques are more effective than analytic techniques in this setting. Overall, students discover how to identify and work effectively with the mathematics in everyday life, and they learn how to express the fundamental principles that govern many phenomena in the language of differential equations.Devaney, Robert L. is the author of 'Differential Equations', published 2005 under ISBN 9780495012658 and ISBN 0495012653.[read more]

WINTERS, Calif. — A rural fire in Northern California raged throughout the night, challenging firefighters Sunday with rising temperatures and the threat of shifting winds, officials said.
State fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said that the so-called Monticello Fire grew in size to 11 square miles, and firefighters have it 30 percent contained. A day earlier, the Yolo County fire had burned 8 square miles.
Firefighters working on the southeast shore of Lake Berryessa on Saturday defended a neighborhood of 40 homes from the flames. Berlant said a potential change in wind could send the flames back in their direction, so an evacuation order remains in place.
"It's going to be much hotter than it has been in the past week," he said. "Our concern is that the wind starts to shift and the fire comes back around."
The National Weather Service predicts temperatures in the area will rise to nearly 100 degrees Sunday.
Berlant said firefighters battling another blaze northwest of Lake Berryessa were being reassigned to attack the Monticello Fire, which erupted Friday night near the Monticello Dam that forms the man-made lake. That fire was 80 percent contained after burning nearly 7 square miles and destroying two homes. Three firefighters suffered minor injuries while battling the blaze.
Lake Berryessa, about 75 miles northeast of San Francisco, is a popular recreation spot that attracts many boaters and campers during the July Fourth weekend.
Meanwhile in Southern California, firefighters battling flames near the mountain town of Julian expected to have the fire fully contained today, Berlant said.
Four firefighters were injured, state fire Capt. Kendal Bortisser said. The extent of their injuries wasn't immediately clear, and the cause of the fire in central San Diego County was under investigation.
The blaze broke out Thursday, prompting the mandatory evacuation of 200 homes and forcing the cancellation of the town's Fourth of July parade and celebration.
State fire officials said they were bracing for more fires over the next couple of days.
"The holiday weekend is in full swing," Berlant said. "There's still a potential for more fires if the public is not careful."
