love the chair and the pillow!ReplyDelete
{my computer put up the parental block for this post--giggles :)
i found that very amusing.}
GOOD JOB!!!! Don't you love it when we get ourselves into gear! We all have great ideas and sometimes just hold onto them for so long....and it feels so good to accomplish them.ReplyDelete
and WOOHOO about getting a flatscreen tv...I'm jealous. :-)
I love it!! Can't wait to see the finished product!!ReplyDelete
Oh, I love it! Looks perfect and the pillow coordates so well with the room. I've wanted to do the same, but I'm afraid of what a custom cover would cost. I've had premade cover on order (backordered!) and I can't wait to get it.ReplyDelete
that is just what I need to do , I have been dragging my feet .ReplyDelete
That looks wonderful, and I looove the pillow!ReplyDelete
That pillow is delicious!!! Where in the world did you get it!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing. Kuddos to you girl for taking the plunge and doing what you want to make your house a home!!
It is funny how our styles change- the the chair. am sad I sold a super chair at a garage sale b'cuz I didn't have the "time" to recover!!! Looking forward to the rest of the pic's. MonicaReplyDelete
I love it. I used to carry the green bird pillows in shop.ReplyDelete
love the chair.
That chair is so pretty. I'm happy for you! Does your seamstress come to Chicago? Lol..ReplyDelete
jen, you are making it happen! the chair looks great. can't wait to see what else unfolds!ReplyDelete
Oh my my Jen do I love your new chair. It came out perfect for your room. And I really adore that bird pillow. Where did you find it? Would love to hear more details on how you found someone to do slips. Great choices and I know we are about to see one fabulous room. Love it!!! RJReplyDelete
I love your new chair.ReplyDelete
And the pillow makes it even cozier looking.
Are those builtin cabinets or free standing? If they are free standing, where did you get them? They are just what I am looking for. Thanks!~ PhiliciaReplyDelete
Love the chair and the pillow. Wish I would just take the plunge and get some slipcovers myself. I love the look. The pillow makes my heart sing.ReplyDelete
Oh I LOVE it!! You know me, I am a sucker for the white slipcovers!ReplyDelete
That chair looks wonderful. Good for you for just doing it! I have tons of plans, but don't get around to doing half of them! I love the chair, the pillow AND the walls - perfection!ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, this is so funny. I have a room like that. My formal living room is so not what I imagined. I have a stupid goldish color couch that I thought I loved. Now all I want in that room is slip covered furniture - JUST LIKE THIS!!ReplyDelete
I need to adopt that mantra. Good job Jen, it looks amazing already.
Oh Jen, this is soo neat, what was that chair before?ReplyDelete
I love your postings and your thoughts keep writing...great ,creative ideas
Jen I love it. I love your new mantra too. I have so many projects floating in my head!! Time to buckle down and get to work!ReplyDelete
the chair looks great. I need to just go out and start working on things in my house as well.ReplyDelete
Very pretty! I love white slip covers.ReplyDelete
When you have time, please come read a story I posted about my husband and keep him in your prayers.ReplyDelete
It looks so great! You inspire me to get off my butt and do the same with a chair I have. Have a wonderful weekend!ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous room Jen! Looks like it is straight out of a magazine. I love the green walls.ReplyDelete
The chair looks great! I am on a slipcover mission as of late...I would love to learn how to do it myself!ReplyDelete
Great chair and what a great deal on the fabric. I love how the pillow matches the wall behind it...can't wait to see more pictures of what else you are going to do! Have a wonderful weekend.ReplyDelete
the chair looks wonderful! i need to slipcover a chair too...but i just keep putting it off!ReplyDelete
Wow, nice work. Kudos to your seamstress. How long did it take?ReplyDelete
I LOVE the pillow too. It's all so you!
I am laughing as I read your post...I should be painting woodwork right now...but I am blogging instead! Time to get moving!ReplyDelete
blessings, kari & kijsa
PS...where did you get that fabulous pillow?
The chair looks great...perfect place to curl up with a good book or to watch the new flat screen! I need to stop fixating on the big costly projects and start working on the smaller ones and get them crossed of my list!ReplyDelete
It looks fantastic! You must be so pleased. Thanks for the inspiration to get my butt in gear.ReplyDelete
By the way, thanks for stopping by my blog. I just looked through all of your photos with the "my cottage" and "decorating" tags...it's a slow afternoon at work...and I'm in love. Great blog!
Don't you just love that feeling, when you finally do something that was a long time coming?ReplyDelete
Your chair turned out gorgeous! I have a chair in desperate need of a slipcover. It's one of the few items that my husband brought into the relationship that I haven't gotten rid of, so I feel a certain sense of obligation to hang onto the thing. But it's a horrible shade of brick-red & currently sitting in the garage.ReplyDelete
Where did you get your lovely birdy pillow? My house needs one!
Jen......I'm "green" with jealousy!Dont' make us wait too long for full views of the room.ReplyDelete
What' the name of that great color on the wall?
xoxo, Julia
Thanks for the inspiration to just "do it". Where did you find $4 cotton duck????ReplyDelete

I love the chair Jen!! That's perfect in every way... have fun getting comfortable and cozy!!!ReplyDelete
looks AdorAble! I need to stop wishing my walls would get repainted and DO it!ReplyDelete

Love the pillow! Where did you get the pillow?ReplyDelete
... and the slipcover! Perfect. I have similar plans to cover the couches inthe great room. They are a lovely neutral chennile, but in the summer I would like to change out and put covers on them, just to give the whole room a different feel... like new furniture!
Blessings ~ Eileen @ Star's Fault
Your seamstress did a beautiful job! The chair and pillow are awesome against your sassy sage wall.ReplyDelete
Just found your blog...I'm in Noblesville and could also use a good seamstress if you're willing to share his/her name! Love your blog...your work is awesome. TFS your talents with us.
There's that pillow again!!! I love the slip covered chair. So glad it turned out how you had envisioned. The girls must just be loving their new flat screen television.ReplyDelete
Oooh love the chair and pillow. My scraproom is white and green, and has been begging for a chair exactly like this.ReplyDelete


text: A Systems Approach to Corn Production Minimizes Risk, Maximizes Yield July 28, 2014 07:17 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Rhonda Brooks Editor, Farm Journal MagazineEditorial Director, Farm Journal Media Email When you make one management change, it can influence three or four other key factors in your operation, including yield outcome. Regardless of whether you grow 100, 1,000 or 10,000 acres of corn, you can benefit from implementing strategic, integrated agronomic practices – called The Systems Approach – for corn production and management. The Systems Approach is designed to help you minimize risk, maximize yield and capitalize on the opportunity to make a profit, says Missy Bauer, Farm Journal Associate Field Agronomist. Bauer highlighted the various elements associated with the concept during the first day of the 2014 Michigan Corn College, in Coldwater, with farmers and consultants from eight states. "It's a whole-farm concept, regardless of the number of acres of corn you grow," she says. Bauer says farmers commonly make a slight change to one aspect of their operation and don't realize that one change impacts three or four other things in the process. "If I'm changing tillage practices, for instance, I need to ask myself what else that might be affecting," Bauer explains. "It's probably affecting hybrid selection and disease management, because I now have a different amount of residue out there." Seed selection, balanced fertility, timely tillage, meticulous record keeping and careful planting and harvest operations are just a few of the building blocks to The Systems Approach. "Evaluate your planting pass and whether you're getting the ear counts you need," Bauer advises. "Evaluate fertility, which is your base foundation. Look at pH, P, K and nitrogen management, because they're so critical to yield. Make sure you have uniform soil density, so we have enough root growth out in our fields as well." Other important aspects of The Systems Approach is knowing your fields and taking proactive steps to guard crops from weeds, diseases and pests that can rob yield potential before you even realize it's occurred. Bauer adds: "One of the best things you can do during the growing season is to get out and walk your fields, and scout throughout the season."

MEDWAY, MA -- CEO John Aglialoro is focusing on some good news at Cybex, despite the company's third quarter $15,000 loss, which he says was mostly due to the company increasing spending on marketing, sales and new products.
For starters, the company had a net sales increase of $0.2 million in the quarter, putting it at $29.2 million in sales compared to $29 million in third quarter 2009, according to third quarter 2010 financials.
Even though international sales were down 5 percent, North American sales increased 4 percent in the quarter.
Strength sales were up 1 percent in the quarter to $10.2 million.
Although cardio sales were down 3 percent to $15.9 million compared to the same quarter last year, Arc Trainer sales were up slightly, comprising $7 million of the company's cardio sales.
"The trend seems to be that clubs are being forced to make replacements for equipment for their clubs," Aglialoro said in a conference call with analysts upon release of the financials last month. "That's a welcome sign."
And even though funding continues to be difficult for small club operators, Aglialoro says he sees some companies beginning to again finance these small operators.
On top of these positives, Cybex recently partnered with Colarossi Consulting and Management and Fabiano Designs to launch Hotel Cybex, a customizable, high-end, pre-packaged fitness option created for the full-service and luxury hotel and hospitality markets.
The facilities can be customized for various hotel brands with plans, specifications, material selection, equipment, AV systems, millwork, flooring, lighting, decorative glass, hardware and wall coverings. The program features high-end design elements, such as green technologies, clear entry and smart multi-use circulation space, abundant natural light, certified bamboo and other woods, natural fibers, low VOC paints and construction products to reduce airborne pollutants.
The clubs, scalable from 500 square feet and up, include Cybex fitness equipment, on-demand video training sessions available to each guest on monitors in the hotel fitness center or in-room TVs, and studio space for body movement, yoga and other classes.
The greater move into the hotel market corresponds with Cybex's focus on markets beyond health clubs. Aglialoro had announced previously that the company would focus more on the military, university, fire and police markets.
"Those are better margins," he said about the other markets. "They are longer sales, but they work to our advantage. In doing so, we see better gross margins. Some of that is disciplined pricing, but I also think it's the result of our continuing concentration on our website, marketing activities, advertising, public relations and setting a tone for Cybex to differentiate."
He also noted that the company's focus on safety with its Cybex Institute has meant more people seeking out Cybex equipment for purchase.
"It's still a slugfest, but I see clarity where a year or two ago we all know where we were in the general economy globally, in the U.S. market and certainly for Cybex," Aglialoro said.
Art Hicks, Cybex COO, said in the call that the company's liquidity is adequate or better. Cash on hand is at $3.9 million, an increase of $2.7 million from September 2009. Debt continues to decrease, dropping from $18.8 million in September 2009 to $16.2 million in September 2010, he said.
Part of the company's expense control has been reducing inventory on hand, something Hicks and Aglialoro indicated the company would continue to do.
"Right now, we can build as we need, spend the cash as we need to," Aglialoro said. "Some of our competitors have to get a boatload in and have to build up inventory. We're fortunate in that we make everything and we can build to suit."

Can you believe the DC-3 has been around for 75 years? As celebrations for the anniversary take off this year, you can learn all about the history of the airplane through the pages of "DC-3: A Legend in Her Time" by Bruce McAllister.
McAllister, the author of several pictorial aviation history books, brings forth their stories with elegance and style. The DC-3 epic is divided into 17 chapters, which chronicle the airplane's development, use by airlines in the United States, remote location operations, foreign airline use, military applications, and its use as a gate guard, billboard, and even a vacation home.
The DC-3 was built by Douglas Aircraft Co. during the Golden Age of Aviation, preceded by models DC-1 and DC-2. The DC-3, as we know it today, rolled off the assembly line in 1935. The airplane was created to meet the rigid requirements of the fledgling airline industry. It soon became popular with both pilots and the general public for its reliability and durability. The book details how the aircraft went together in the Douglas factory. Recognizing the public's apprehension toward flying, Donald Douglas had a sign up in the factory that read "Build it like you are going to fly in it" and his employees took that mandate very seriously. When you look at the photos of the assembly line, the sheer beefiness of the DC-3 comes to the light.
The book also has several photos of the wrecks of DC-3s. What is so remarkable is how intact the airframes are despite the fact the crash was decades ago.
Pilots liked it because in the air it was relatively easy to fly, but on the ground, if there was a crosswind, taxiing took a lot of skill.
The hard-cover book, which has 256 pages and 250 photographs, is a great read and a must have for anyone who is enamored with the DC-3. The book costs about $50 and can be ordered from Amazon or Round Up Press.

'Celebrity Apprentice' Dayana Mendoza Responds To Lisa Lampanelli's Racist Attack
Dayana calls Lisa's racist comments 'degrading' to 'an entire hispanic culture.'
When you're a contestant on The Celebrity Apprentice, feuds are par for the course — but what happens in the boardroom doesn't always stay in the boardroom, which Dayana Mendoza discovered this week when Lisa Lampanelli cruelly mocked her Venezuelan heritage during a radio interview. Now, for the first time, the former Miss Universe gives HollywoodLife.com her exclusive response to Lisa's racist attack.
"I understand that it's Lisa's job to make fun of people for a living," Dayana tells us. "If poking fun at me can help her sell tickets to her shows, no problem, I am happy to help her put food on her table. However, when she uses racial slurs, she is not only targeting myself, but degrading an entire hispanic culture."
We couldn't agree more! In case you missed Lisa's original comments, she said:
"I actually would love to see [Dayana] giving birth. She's a s**c! she's going to do it f***ing soon, anyway. She'll be knocked up before the end of the week."
Lisa and Dayana's feud heats up on the April 8 episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, and we've got an intense preview video below:

On the Street…….Via Verri, Milan
CommentsClose comment

the matching scarves are supercute! it's a little pretentious to wear scarves and then a thin open neck shirt (the man), but hey. at least he's not too hairy.
a cute couple in any case.
oh my goodness. if they are a couple, they are the most perfectly suited couple.
great shot!
she looks so sweet.
and i've never really cared for the belted in look on men, but I do like the colors & textures on him.
I like the cable on his sweater sleeve and the similar pattern of the relief on the wall.
beside the fact that this outfit on the lady is amazing(love the layering with the belt and acccessories), her hair is even better.
very femuline. but what can i say, the gentleman looks good. i need some chest hair.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Grown ups who will never be "old".
who are they and can we meet later for a bottle of wine and dancing? Fabulous!
She is adorable; great proportions, fun yet classy look. Not digging her hair color, but her pallete is a great use of neutrals. He's pretty hot himself, but I can't abide by such feminine style on men. Unfortunately my tastes are too heterosexual. Aesthetically I'm loving his squishy sweater. If he were to ask me out, however, I would decline based on his sleeve length and belting. Ah, romantic taste.
I'm fascinated by your statement that your "tastes (unfortunately) are too heterosexual". Seems an odd thing to have to say… Is this unfortunate for you or for the poor men to whom you don't grant any of your narrow-minded time? Interesting that you wouldn't go out with this guy based on the belt and the sleeve length – I guess we all have our limits. I could never "abide by" a smoker or someone who wears flip-flops – each to his own I guess. Oh – as far as his looking "feminine" – keep in mind that many perfectly virile European men do dress a little more fem than most American guys. Thanks!
i love his sweater.. Club Monaco.. it sold out in my size before i had the chance. a brilliant couple nonetheless
Well, the height difference, yet similarity of pose (and dress, to a degree) is a treat in itself.
He's totally, playfully original. His long, long scarf somehow both emphasizes and counters his height; the bare skin at the chest top contrasts amusingly with the heavy sweater, into which his hands have disappeared…
I've never seen anyone make that Club Monaco cardigan look really stylish. Somehow this guy does it!
I'm in love with this guy! I think he even looks better than her! very sexy, love the open shirt and the sweater, the shoes, the belt! just everything! perfection super fashionable!
Nice couple…LOVE HER.
i love this couple, matching colors and shades – she is super pretty and so nonchalant elegant and he's the better Beckham with his cardigan!
Shouls I get my oversize sweater out of the mothballs? The open neckline and scarf plus belt does look a bit much though. The knit pattern though is amazing, I love cable sweaters.
very sienna miller/jude law
I'm so intrigued by the past two pics of sweater/wraps on men. I think they both pull it off well, although I would probably still do a double-take if I saw it on the street here in NY. I'm not a fan of the way open collar though.
Her: Gorgeous hair, smile, look. She reminds me of an Egon Schiele painting.
Him: Very nice man-decolletage. Not a fan of that particular belt with that cardi…a looser, softer, lounge-ier tie belt might be quite nice, though.
the girl looks adorable, the dude looks like a chump.
they match with is cute for her, but in his case…
cute photo though
These two look like a perfectly matched couple. The man's outfit is perfect on him I think alot of guys couldn't pull it off that well – if at all.
his look is decidedly too feminine, but hers is perfect. i don't care for a boy who dresses like i do.
yikes. that's a lot of chest on a guy. apparently I'm in the minority here though who doesn't like the look so it must be my midwestern prudishness. I like his friendly smile though.
Wonderful-looking couple. Their clothing choices are interesting and really suit them and they look so at ease together.
her outfit fits..
his outfit not
They look like a male and female version of the same outfit :p It's cute.
they look great together – obviously a pair but not too matchy-matching, like a previous nyc couple posted. the belts w/sweaters and grey coloring complement each other. his belt isn't quite right for his sweater, but that makes it even better. if it was right on then it would be a little too metrosexual for my tastes. the brown shoes are right on. they look relaxed, confident and happy – that's style in my book! i like a big sweater on a man, personally, though i can't get my husband to do this look. i'll admire from afar….
I don't know where to start… the scarf? the sweater? the shoes? the sunglasses?
That guy really knows his stuff.
this is now my computer background i love it and I want that mans sweater [:
yes, they're pretty, they're technically well dressed — but for some reason i'm bored and uninspired.
She looks adorable and angelic, which only further emphasises how sloppy and unattractive her male companion is. I dontt mind the chest hair cleavage had it been framed by a simple v-neck tshirt, but that pyjama shirt under that oversized cardigan and the unnecessary ridiculous belt… Jude Law he is not.
Prom king and queen!
It's interesting to see men in sweaters that look like they were borrowed from a girlfriend. Usually it's "the boyfriend sweater" being borrowed by the girl. You posted another couple the other day that also had the same vibe. It's kinda cute and sartorially-liberating!
I think these two are totally magical. I was focusing on her at first and was liking it in basic way, and then I refocused on him finally, and.. just, WOW. He pulls it off, I love it.
Fantastic looking couple-the girl in particular has such an endearing look about her. They may have spent simply hours getting ready to go out but the important thing is that it doesn't look it. It all looks organic-as if they have thrown the look together naturally on their way out the door. And emerged in their own incredible style.
I love the girl's hair but the man's? That on his chest looks just wacky.
is that Lily Donaldson? they look great together…I wonder if they plan their outfits? very well suited…his cardi looks great!
who doesn't love him??? he is simply the most elegant, sweet and handsome person ever….I'm in awe everytime I meet him ;o)
They look superb!
Though they are merely friend… ;)
Italian men and their open shirts. I love it, especially with the big sweater. I wish more men would take a chance like this in America. It seems that they think showing a little chest or wearing something other than a suit or jeans and a tshirt makes them gay somehow.
I think it is so funney how many people thinks he looks feminine, I for one have a sweater such as this. I'm not sure as to why people always wish to identify clothing as feminine or masculine I am always turned on by the aestethics of a garment…. color, fabric I have purchased many clothing from the womens dept even a suit and gottem major compliments and know one ever knew they were womens wear..now tht is style
Why everyone is so nice fitted in Milan? I've been there this past summer, and there're everywhere luxury shops, it's amazing!
great pullover
Her hair is lovely.
Milan, or maybe Italy, seem to produce the most cultured, mature and fascinating birds of fashion and dressing.

Sparta, Ky. – For the fifth time in the tracks history, NASCAR's elite drivers will battle on the roughest track in NASCAR July 9-11, 2015 for three action-packed nights of racing when the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS), Nationwide Series (NNS) and Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) visit Kentucky Speedway.
"We are thrilled to maintain our position as the only mid-summer tripleheader weekend on the NASCAR schedule and we will again host the Nationwide Series for a return visit in September," said General Manager Mark Simendinger.
It will be the second time the NASCAR tripleheader weekend will be hosted in July featuring the NSCS Quaker State 400, a 300-mile NNS race and the NCWTS UNOH 225 opening the weekend. It will be the fourth time the NNS will return to the track for a second date when they visit Saturday, September 26.
"The way the calendar falls in 2015 requires us to move back to our 2011 summer position of immediately after the Daytona Fourth of July weekend instead of before it. Summer in the tri-state means racing at Kentucky Speedway. Thanks to our great fans who have helped us establish that tradition," Simendinger exclaimed.
"Also, we welcome NBC back to NASCAR, as they will serve as our new broadcast partner for both weekends," he continued.
NBC returns to NASCAR next year broadcasting the last 20 NSCS races of the season, the final 19 NNS events including our September 26 NNS race and other NASCAR regional and touring series events. The rest of the NSCS and NNS races next season will be broadcast on Fox.
Kentucky Speedway over the years has produced record breaking pole speeds, first-time winners along with fans seeing its first repeat winner in this year's NSCS the Quaker State 400 presented by Advance Auto Parts when Brad Keselowski took the checkered flag.
Fans can renew or purchase season tickets by calling (859) 578-2300 or visiting the Kentucky Speedway ticket office at 1 Speedway Drive in Sparta, Ky., just off Interstate 71 Exit 57 and Ky. Hwy. 35 N.

He Everyone
I have self serve key safe access to my 2 apartments.
Most guests like the privacy of self serve access which suits me too, saving time waiting for late comers.
However I have discovered guests really appreciate you just popping in before dark to introduce yourself, reassure them, answer any questions they may have.
From my perspective I want to check they have parked their vehicle in correct place, are respectful to other guests, have the correct number of guests, understanding the house rules etc especially cleaning the kitchen, taking out rubbish on departure.
I usually receive great reviews when they have met the owner of the property
If the guests are not there when i just pop in I ALWAYS send a text message to confirm all is ok with their checkin and if they have any problems I am ALWAYS available to contact by mobile

I had hoped that, at this stage of the evening, the news from Virginia and Florida would be favorable, and that we would be obsessing about Ohio. But it looks like we need to obsess about Virginia and Florida too.
STEVE adds: Mack was a poor candidate. Looks like between this cycle and last cycle, the GOP has spotted the Dems as many as five seats with poor candidates. Not a good way to win a majority.

Yes, I did try that. When I tested the Maxtor and Western Digital USB2 drives, BIBM showed those using the default BIBM setting ("BIOS"). But when I tested the problem Seagate drive, the BIBM "BIOS" setting did not show the Seagate. I tried the other settings -- "BIOS (direct)", and "USB". The "BIOS (direct)" setting behaved the same as "BIOS", while the "USB" setting did not show any disks at all.

Discussion on the interest and growth of fancy dress costumes driven by the entertainment market
No matter if you are buying your pirate costume or making this yourself, prompt touches could help you stand out. Keep in mind the following tips, and all the landlubbers might find what a fine and authentic buccaneer you are.
Pirates never ever worry much for cleanliness. Having a shower isn't always straightforward to squeeze in between swashbuckling situations. You can actually get your pirate dress-up costume to a higher level without spending all your doubloons by simply dirtying upa little. Authentic dirt is effective. Just go in the garden and grab a bit of soil or dirt to apply on your clothing, face and even hair.
If you are jsut too soft and gentle to handle dirt, you can buy dark face coloring at several Halloween costume outlets. To find a less costly selection, dark chocolate powder is just as good. Just get a container of dried out candy whole milk mix in your community food store. Dust off a small amount throughout your costumes and face. The powder dark chocolate choices are an excellent option for locks, since it washes out with less trouble than dust or oil-based face paints. Every one of these options more likely to discolor your apparel, yet a true buccaneer has much more important things to do than bathing an d looking after laundry.
Mainly because Pirates will not care much for bathrooms, think how they would feel about visiting the dentist. A real skipper of the high seas boasts their own gnarly grin with delight. Review your nearby dress-up costume shop for non-toxic paints which can be used on the smile. An alternative choice is comparatively cheap clear false gold colored teeth, usually found in the pirate halloween costume division. Using these, you'll be able to demonstrate your wealth at pillaging booty. The most spectacular lads and lasses can wear gold capped teeth..
To obtain an exclusive effect, make certain your pirate fancy dress consists of the seafareer's most commendable companion: the parrot. Buy yourelf a toy parrot and sew it onto your clothes. Sew your feathered pal to your dress-up costume. This method includes no stitching expertise, and guarantees it's possible to remove the bird if needed.
As a final point, become a skipper of the ocean by wearing a fantastic hat. If Johnny Depp's turn as Captain Jack sparrow in the Buccaneers of the Carribbean movie films has made crystal clear to everyone anything, it's the importance of perfect buccaneer headgear. Keep your silver coins on the other parts of your pirate costume, but buy some decent head wear. It's precisely what sets apart the buccaneers from the scurvy scoundrels.Specific Highlites for ensuring Your Pirate Fancy dress is a big hit on the Ocean

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — With the Los Angeles Lakers dominating the headlines in the Southland this summer after their high-profile additions of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, it's easy to forget that it's been an interesting offseason for the city's other NBA franchise.
The Clippers didn't make the same splash in free agency or with a trade, but they will welcome back a key figure in their operation when veteran point guard Chauncey Billups finally returns from the left Achilles injury that cost him everything after Feb. 6.
The Clippers survived without Billups, but there was a lingering feeling that a healthy Billups could have helped lengthen the Clippers' postseason run. And now comes word that he's healing faster than perhaps anyone thought possible, a development that is sure to bring a smile to the face of Chris Paul and Blake Griffin (who is on the mend from knee surgery himself).
More from Helene Elliott of The Los Angeles Times:
"When my body feels right, that's when I'll be back," he said. "That being said, I'm far ahead of schedule.
"It's not even like I had a summer. I've been on the whole time, doing rehabbing and other work every day. I'm looking forward to getting back to playing and being with the guys and resuming my normal life as a player."
Billups became the Clippers' glue in his 20 starts before his injury, adding poise and experience to the 14.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists he averaged over 30.4 minutes. He was a leader on the court and in the locker room, providing guidance to Chris Paul and a voice of knowledge for Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsoe.
Even after his Feb. 15 surgery left him to clomp around in a protective boot, he dispensed advice and analysis from a seat near the bench.
"He has very good insight, great experience and he's been successful at every level," Coach Vinny Del Negro said. "Some of our younger players, by the way he approaches them and gets things across, it's very easy for them to accept and listen to."
Billups stayed in Los Angeles most of the summer to work out with teammates and coaches, pushing himself when it felt right and easing up when necessary.
"I never one time thought I wouldn't come back or had doubts that I would come back because I knew was going to do everything I could," said Billups, who will turn 36 on Sept. 25, four days before the Clippers open training camp.
"Twenty years ago this injury was like a death sentence. The way the world of technology is now, I knew there were a lot of guys that made it back from this injury and I was going to be the next one."
We felt Billups was far more important than some of the pundits expected he would be for the Clippers before his injury last season. Billups' leadership and experience in a locker room that was largely devoid of said things before the arrival of Paul and Billups accentuated the importance of it for both men.
And we feel the same can be said this time around. The Clippers need what Billups brings on and off the floor this season, maybe even more so than last year. Expectations were greater than usual then, but not off the chains (to borrow a phrase from yesteryear) as they are now after the addition of Jamal Crawford and Lamar Odom.
The rotation will be sorted out later. But it's obvious the Clippers will have backcourt options galore with Billups healthy and in the mix with Paul, Crawford and Bledsoe, a mix that should prove to be the strength of this team.

LÆHistoire du soldatĀ(1918) is anĀoriginal genre-style mix created by Stravinsky inĀcollaboration with theĀlibrettist Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz. TheĀplot is based on Russian folk tales (which also featured several motifs ofĀtheĀlegend ofĀFaust), but theĀcreators strove toĀgive it true world significance andĀpresent it as aĀparable. This parable, however, was not entirely devoid ofĀtopical andĀautobiographical character; theĀcomposer admitted that, like theĀhero ofĀhis work, he was ōleft with nothing, inĀaĀforeign land, at theĀvery height ofĀtheĀwar.öĀTheĀcircumstances ofĀtheĀwar years affected not just theĀthemes ofĀLÆHistoireĀbut its performers as well. TheĀpiece, which was conceived as aĀproduction for aĀsmall travelling company, was toĀbe chamber inĀterms ofĀits nature; just four characters andĀaĀunique orchestra ofĀōa handful ofĀinstrumentsö including theĀmain orchestral sections plus percussion. Seeing theĀorchestra as anĀensemble ofĀsoloists, Stravinsky personified theĀtimbres: theĀviolinĀ¢ theĀobject ofĀvictory inĀtheĀbattleĀ¢ embodies theĀsoldierÆs soul while theĀdrum embodies theĀDevil. TheĀenvironment that is alien toĀtheĀRussian soldier is represented by ōforeignö dances (the tango, waltz andĀragtime) andĀSpanish andĀGerman genres (marcha pasodoble andĀchorale).ĀLÆHistoireĀincludes numerous sound associations with theĀconcerts ofĀrenowned New Orleans jazz bands, recordings ofĀwhich Stravinsky so greatly admired.

|Hieracium joannei Szeląg
Hieracium joannei, a new, apomictic species in H. sect. Cernua is described from the Şureanu Mountains, Southern Carpathians, Romania, and illustrated with photos of the holotype and living plants in the locus classicus. Hieracium zanogae (= H. tubulare), previously considered to be endemic to the Retezat Mountains, has been found in the Parâng Mountains. This is the easternmost occurrence of the species, disjoined ca 50 km from the nearest localities in the Retezat Mountains. A key for the species of H. sect. Cernua in Romania is provided.
Key words: Carpathians, Compositae, Hieracium, taxonomy
|Figure 3. Hieracium joannei: flowering plants in the locus classicus.
Hieracium joannei Szeląg, sp. nov.
Type:— Romania. Southern Carpathians, Şureanu Mountains, SE slope of Muntele Pravăţ ridge. ...
Distribution and habitats:— Endemic to the Şureanu Mountains, Southern Carpathians, known only from the type gathering; nevertheless its occurrence in the adjacent Parâng Mountains has been expected. The population of Hieracium joannei was composed of a few hundred flowering plants growing on a south-facing slope covered by grassy vegetation and Brucenthalia spiculifolia, and on siliceous rocks and crevices along the Picea abies forest margin.
Mode of reproduction:— Agamospermous.
Etymology:—The new species is named in honour of Dr. hab. Jan (Latin: Joannes) Bodziarczyk, University of Agriculture in Cracow, who accompanied me on a field trip to Romania in July 2014.

Partially thanks to Hitchcock and Bob Dylan, the Royal Albert Hall is one of the most famous concert halls in the world. A century and a half after its inauguration by Queen Victoria, the multifunctional culture palace hosts everything from the symphony orchestra to rock musicals.
In The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), Doris Day screamed so loud that she even drowned out the London Symphony Orchestra. The blood-curdling climax of the Alfred Hitchcock thriller takes place in Royal Albert Hall. The villain of the film is plotting to shoot a foreign head of state from one of the boxes. The cold-blooded murder is planned during the bombastic closing notes of the Storm Clouds Cantata, so the audience cannot hear the shot. Only our heroine can avert impending doom as the sounds of the orchestra reach a crescendo.
Doris Day's bone-chilling scream saves the head of the state and the murderer is caught. All's well that ends well. The 12-minute long scene that was filmed with Hitchcock's trademark precision confirms the image of Royal Albert Hall as the most beautiful concert hall in London - to great joy of the board. The Beatles and The Kinks have sung the praises of this monumental building, books have been written about it and the arched corridors exude history.
Exactly as Prince Albert had intended. After the 1851 World Fair, the Prince Consort of Queen Victoria envisioned a permanent building where the people could enjoy art and science and be surrounded by the best schools and museums. Unfortunately Prince Albert didn't live to see the result as he died in 1861, 6 years before the construction of the concert hall was started. Today, the concert hall is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. The Royal Albert Hall holds a special place in the hearts of most Londoners and the many artists who have performed here.
Since its inauguration in 1871, the Royal Albert Hall has carefully built an impeccable reputation. The greatest artists in the world have performed here: conductors such as Leonard Bernstein and Herbert von Karajan; orchestras like the Dutch Koninklijk Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Wiener Philharmoniker; and also pop acts such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and more recently Coldplay and Stereophonics. The Eurovision Song Contest was broadcast from the concert hall in 1968, the first European live broadcast in colour. And since 1941, the venue has hosted the annual Proms, the largest classical music festival in the world.
So much more than music. For 20 years, the Miss World pageant was held here. The most important film screenings, such as the world premieres of the Bond films Die Another Day (2002) and Skyfall (2012) were attended either by Queen Elizabeth or the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall. The Royal Albert Hall also serves as a sports arena; many basketball games, badminton and boxing matches have taken place here, and in December you will even find a tennis court here. The first sumo wrestling championship outside of Japan was held here in 1991, and in the summer of 2015 masked Mexican lucha libre wrestlers entered the arena.
Of all the legendary concerts that have taken place here, Londoners will vividly remember the one by Bob Dylan. In 1965, Dylan performs for the first time at the Royal Albert Hall. He is 23 years old and has just released his 5th studio album. He is hugely popular and shines in the London spotlights. A year later he returns, but things go very differently. The concert consists of 2 parts: before the break an acoustic set, as the audience expects from him, followed by an electronic set. The second part doesn't go over well with Dylan's British fans. People boo him and a renegade fan calls the singer "Judas!". Another fan yells out: "I will never listen to you again!"
"I don't believe you, you're a liar," is Dylan's reply and he orders his band to play Like A Rolling Stone extra loud. Bob Dylan Live 1966 - The Royal Albert Hall Concert became his most famous bootleg album. Decades later it turned out that the illegal recording hadn't been made in London but in Manchester. Nevertheless, the Judas incident granted the Royal Albert Hall a mythical status as 'the Holy Grail of Rock & Roll'. It would take 47 years before Dylan returned to the stage, in 2013, to a unanimously positive response. In October 2015 he will play a tribute to Frank Sinatra – and all 5 concerts sold out fast.
Concerts at the Royal Albert Hall regularly got out of hand. 1971 was a low point. Out of the 23 pop concerts that were held that year, only one took place in an orderly fashion. After the British band The Nice burned the American flag, management took a drastic decision: pop and rock were banned. Frank Zappa with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Bryan Ferry with a 15-piece band, and the rock musical "Tommy" starring Rod Stewart, Richard Harris and Ringo Starr were all cancelled. It was a huge financial loss and the ban was short lived.
To learn all the ins and outs, book a guided tour. The 1-hour Grand Tour takes you through the entire concert hall, including the impressive grand hall and the 'Royal Retiring Room', the Queen's private room. The Secret History Tour will reveal some stories known only to insiders, the Inside Out Tour focuses on the architecture, while the Behind The Scenes Tour takes visitors backstage. There is also an afternoon tea with champagne or you can enjoy a complete dinner. With a choice of 6 restaurants and 14 bars, a concert is easily transformed into an evening out.

AZT: A Hard Pill To Swallow! Some Reasons for It, Some Against
By Vic Hernandez, DR.P.H.
There are many theories on the extent of the role of HIV in AIDS. Some believe that HIV is the sole cause; some believe that HIV is a catalyst for an auto immune disorder; and some believe that HIV holds no prominence in AIDS.
Let us say that HIV is the sole culprit in AIDS development: then the central task for the containment of HIV involves shutting down the replication of the virus within infected cells. This was the idea behind the development of AZT and other antiretrovirals for use against HIV/AIDS.
AZT, like most nucleoside analogs, is inherently immune suppressive; causing bone marrow suppression, neuropathy, as well as cell dysfunction which affects other organ systems; and muscle tissue deterioration (buttocks and quadriceps) rarely reported but commonly seen. AZT and other nucleoside analogs adversely affect the kidneys (elevated serum creatine), liver (lactic acidosis or "fatty liver") pancreas, and other organ systems. Since it is so widely used, AZT's particular toxicity for the immune system is crucial.
Nucleoside Analogs are the class of medications approved to slow down the progression of HIV, they include: AZT, ddI, ddC, D4T, and the newly approved 3Tc. (Also called antiretrovirals.)
Early Studies Flawed
One of the reasons why the early AZT studies were so flawed is because many of the persons on drug were experiencing severe side effects and the health care teams were not listening to patient's complaints. As a result, many people self-dosed or took smaller amounts of drug so as to curtail side effects, not the dose that was being administered in the study. When the data was analyzed, this covert modification of dose was not taken into account. Yet this data is used to support the use of AZT.
Study data can be modified in enough different ways to prove whatever the investigator wants to prove. Researchers naturally want to extract the positive aspects of their projects.
Data Torture
When this process goes beyond reasonable interpretation of the facts, it becomes, "data torturing". It is impossible to tell how widespread data torturing is. Like other forms of torture, it leaves no incriminating marks and is difficult to prove when done skillfully. There are clues that should stir suspicion and questions that must be raised.
Science has a duty to inform and educate the public, in no uncertain terms. As consumers armed with information and perspective, we must speak with researchers and health care professionals. Science must neither frighten people unnecessarily nor give them unjustified expectations.
HIV/AIDS research should have immediate priority with speedy and reliable progress. AIDS research is impeded by many scientific unknowns, but especially lacking is strong leadership, the idea generation development, cooperation among all parties involved and a financial commitment to meet the challenge of the present AIDS pandemic we are all living with. We have wasted too much precious time on the single focus of AZT.
As my friend, Pat, says: "It's so weird because ... AZT doesn't work, I mean, it just doesn't ... and it's so weird because everyone pretends that it does ... the researchers, the doctors, the community, everyone."
In Favor of AZT
From 1993 Interview With
Dr. Alexandra Levine
I think it's really important to understand that we need to not only improve the length of survival, but the quality of survival. I firmly believe that AZT improves the quality of life in a real and meaningful way. To me, it's a damn good drug. I am not, in any sense, saying that someone is going to be on AZT for the whole rest of their life. The germ, HIV, is going to learn to be resistant to AZT because it's going to learn to mutate. I never thought AZT was the answer. It isn't the only answer, but it sure buys a heck of a nice piece of time.
If you're going to consider taking AZT, be aware of the benefits and risks. Does taking it cause you problems or not? What are the side effects and what are the benefits? What were you able to do before AZT? What are you able to do after AZT? Look at the balance between the advantage, and possible disadvantages.
Early Treatment
Scientifically, I don't know the answer but, my bet is that treating earlier is better. Ultimately, I may not be right, I may not be proven right for years. On the other hand, deep in my soul, I feel there is no question that you must start treatment early.
The current problem is that the drugs available are relatively few in number. In addition, each drug will eventually be associated with the development of resistance. The virus, HIV, will learn to live with it. The problem becomes using the limited drugs that we have wisely and in time.
I don't automatically start AZT or any other drug at the moment that I have a newly diagnosed or a newly infected patient. It makes sense, but there are 2 issues; one is practical, and the other is scientific. The real answer, scientifically, is that when we have the drugs to be able to span a life time, we most definitely will start treating HIV the day we know the person is infected. It's the only thing that makes sense.
Practical, meaning treating over a long period of time, is another issue and it depends on how long it takes to get resistance and how many different drugs we have to add into the equation.
As my friend, James Foster, used to say: "The bottom line is, these are the medications we have to fight HIV, you either take them or you don't."
All Is Not Hopeless
More Thoughts From Vic
There are other therapies that enhance the immune system, stabilization, and quality of life of PWA/HIVs such as the Protease Inhibitors, Integrace inhibitors, LTR inhibitors such as Thalidomide & Pentoxyphyl-line (combined with TAT), CD-8/CD-4 Expansion (with IL-2 enhancements), Passive Immuno-Therapy (Plasma exchange). Therapies based on a variety of different theories are emerging and showing significance: immune modulators, combination therapies, anti-inflammatorys, antioxidant therapies (NAC, Beta Carotene, Vitamin E, and many others), gene therapies, fusion molecule research, naturopathic approach (homeopathy, acupuncture, as well as the use of whole plant extracts as antiviral therapy or immune modulators), opiate receptor/antagonists, as well as attention to life-style issues such as diet, exercise, spirituality and psychosocial issues.
Choosing Treatments
It can seem overwhelming to identify how your body is responding to HIV, what profile you fit and what treatment approach to choose. Sticking with a treatment approach and keeping vigilance over the efficacy and or failure of your treatments is a full time job!
It's always best to seek the support of a treatment group. If there isn't one established in your area then start one up among friends who feel they can work together to sort through data and other information. Getting the information to decide what therapies are best suited for you and the markers (such as T-cell counts, viral load, etc.) to monitor your own efficacy or failure on drug is a tremendous process. A process that relies on the work of many scientists, health care professionals, and support networks of PWAs/PWHIVs.

Doing some trend analysis on shares of Cushman & Wakefield Plc (CWK), we note that the trendspotter opinion is currently Sell. This signal uses a system combining volatility, momentum, and wave theory to help identify the general trend. The trendspotter strength signal is currently Minimum. This signal is compared to the historical performance where maximum would be considered the strongest, and minimum would be touted as the weakest. In terms of direction, the trendspotter signal is currently Weakest. This signal may indicate if the Buy or Sell is weakening or gaining strength, or if the Hold is leaning towards a Buy or Sell.
Investors are often focused on stock price support and resistance levels. The support is simply a level where a stock may see a bounce after it has fallen. If the stock price manages to break through the first support level, the attention may shift to the second level of support. The resistance is the opposite of support. As a stock rises, it may see a retreat once it reaches a certain level of resistance. After a recent check, the stock's first resistance level is 18.57, and the second resistance level is 18.91. On the other side, investors are watching the first support level of 17.8, and the second support level of 17.37.
Changing lanes, we'll look at what some of the short term technical indicators are reading for shares of Cushman & Wakefield Plc (CWK). The signal from the 20-day moving average is revealing a "Sell". The 20-50 day MACD Oscillator, which can be used to identify bullish or bearish directional movement is currently showing a "Buy" signal.
Lastly will look at the Bollinger Band signal, specifically the 20 day reading. This indicator can be used to identify short-term overbought and oversold zones, to confirm divergences between prices and indicators and to predict future price targets. The 20-Day Bollinger Band currently is signaling a "Hold" for Cushman & Wakefield Plc (CWK). Bollinger Bands are among the most popular and powerful of the many indicators that traders can choose from. As the name implies, Bollinger Bands are price channels that are plotted above and below price. The outer bands are based on volatility in price, which means that they expand when price fluctuates and trends strongly, and the Bands contract during sideways consolidations and low momentum trends.
Cushman & Wakefield Plc (CWK) currently has a 1 month MA of 18.84. Investors may use moving averages for various reasons. Some may use the moving average as a primary trading tool, while others may use it as a back-up. Investors may keep an eye out for when the stock price crosses a particular moving average and then closes on the other side. These moving average crossovers may be used to help spot momentum shifts, or possible entry/exit points. A cross below a certain moving average may signal the start of a downward move. On the flip side, a cross above a moving average may suggest a possible uptrend. Investors may be focused on many different time periods when studying moving averages. The stock currently has a 3 month MA of 18.43, and a 6 month MA of 17.53.

five finger fillet and some other stupid things. Lately I've been giving myself a tattoo with pen ink & a thumbtack. Not recommending any of that.
damn that's hardcore lol why not just get it done somewhere? And what's it gonna be?
haha why thank ya
...that's hardcore...
One thing you need to know about Draco, He is HARDCORE
What kind of website are you building?
My portfolio. A display of the pretty things I can do with pixels and some other real life mediums too. I think there's a link to my 2nd version in my profile. I am working on a 3rd version now.
I made a degree in Graphic Design months ago and I'm kinda looking for a job in that field. The website will prove I can do Flash, CSS and some other cool little things like that.

Pen ink??? I agree, hardcore indeed. Come on, Draco, don't want you to end up at the hospital with that crap. Pay yourself true quality if you're gonna have something printed on you for life.
I'm up in D.C. now and it got upwards of 102 F. Crazy, way to hot for me.
I had to do football practice in 103 F weather today, but we got alot of water breaks, and have have pads on tomorrow....
It's a "z" and I can't find a place that'll illegally tattoo a 16 year old around here. Plus it's free.
One thing you need to know about Draco, He is HARDCORE
Awww Karson, how sweet.
Hardcore yes but there's still things you should be careful about, Mr Man. And maybe they would tattoo you if your parents sign a paper agreeing about it?

Don't make me take it back now.
Hardcore yes but there's still things you should be careful about, Mr Man. And maybe they would tattoo you if your parents sign a paper agreeing about it?
Would you let your kids et a tatoo
First, my kids... I don't think my 2 years old will want a tattoo anytime soon, lol.
And let me put it this way, if my 15 years old was determined enough to mutilate herself with pen ink and crap, I'd take things in hand and direct her onto something quality just to make sure she doesn't hurt herself worse than a tat would.
Then again there's places where a tat can be easily hidden by clothing and won't be a nuisance to you when you look for a job later. Gotta think of that too.
See, with teenagers it's like any other forbiddance, the more you forbid, the more stuff will happen behind your back and in the worst conditions. I am not one to allow free for all, but if anything is to happen I prefer to know it and make sure it's done the healthy way.
I don't believe n them
I don't believe n them
I used to think they were cool.
Now I would have a hard time to choose something I'd be sure to like for life. I once thought I'd like KISS for life, and it changed. And along the years I see my tastes change on all kinds of other things, so really, there's nothing I could print on me forever.
Skulls? Dragons? Everyone get that. The first time I thought of getting a tat I went for an airbrush on my leathercoat instead. A Grim Reaper, now how original is that? lol.
If there was an image I wanted to keep for a long time I suppose I could do that again. It's a long time that an image hasn't amazed me to that point though.
As long as you don't do what every girl does and go for flowers or stars or dolphins. That's like skulls and dragons for guys. Or Chinese characters. Though if I wanted a dragon, I'd go for an original looking dragon. Because that's how I roll.
As for putting them in inconspicuous places, how about that idiot girl who got 50 stars put on her face? o_O; Talk bout dumb.
And no, I don't have any tats. Too chicken! And I don't know what I'd like anyways!
I think it was those guys who do the blue vs red or whatever halo thing who said it best:
Look at who you were ten years ago. You were a real idiot, huh? In ten more years you're going to think who you are now is an idiot. So why get a tattoo of something you're just going to hate in ten years?
Simpsons said it good too, when Homer's all like, "If you get a tattoo make sure it'll be for something you'll love forever." and then he sees one on himself and goes, "Aww, I hate that band."
Drawing on yourself with a pen is fine I think I've done that for quick notes once or twice (though a lot of that probably wouldn't be healthy). But trying to put the ink in with a tack? That's not good.
Cecelia, I heard about the star-girl. She tried to claim she was asleep and the person had done it on his own. Uh, yeah. Sleeping while needles are sticking into your face? I think she later admitted it was her own fault.
I bet she was drunk or something. No one goes get something like that on their own sane mind.
Yeah, your right.
I have two possible tats that I may someday want to get. Both would be my own drawings *or at least based on them*. One would be my Clan Drakus Mando Death-head with red eight point star eye against dimond shield. The other would be the logo I still have in the planning stages for my Army of Two/Expendables spin-off mercenarly company.
The Mando would be high on my left shoulder, and the merc stamp would be on my right. High up where a military shoulder patch would be. I'm pretty sure I've posted the Mando logo in my creations thread. When I finally finish my merc logo I'll post it
Yeah, your right.
Like, come on. Stars all over the face?? What kind of life can you have after that???
It's really odd. I am now thinking about having a Grim Reaper again on me somewhere. As a form of celebration of a cut in my life. A change of pace, change of ... phase. Like something has gone beyond maturity in me and is bound to go to garbage, while another part of me is reviving.
Yeah, I might get me a Grim Reaper again somewhere. Death. He's been with me the whole time anyway, he's the main piece of my portfolio. Danse Macabre has always been my favourite music. Halloween, my favourite time of the year! And I've always thought Skeletons and other creatures of similar realm were sooo cool.
I need to express that somehow. It is too very me.
Thanks Karson for the great idea. You're awesome.
I think tattoos on the face is a bad idea it won't look good applying for school or a job interview, when im of age I will get tattoos but some where secret so when I'm old it won't be, "Grandpa is that a tattoo of KISS on your arm?" but yeah I think it wont be nice to have a tattoo face
What do you have against my pretty eyes?
And yes I'll be egomaniac for a while if I want (I've seen your post before you removed it, lol), it's a purification. I've had a petrified zombie ego for a very very long time, thanks to people I'd kick down the stairs now, so it's time I wake up, lol. Egos waking up are like people waking up in the morning : a stinky beast, lol.
But I am not stinky at all, and not a beast by any mean though. I swear.
And you are right Capitl, indeed a tat on the face is a stupid idea. I'm not sure I'm gonna get it as a tat anyway. And certainly in a better place.
The Bible says not to mark up your body
Aww hon, I stopped going by the Book a few decades ago.
The Bible says not to mark up your body
tattoos have been around long before the bible, your argument is invalid.
The Bible says not to mark up your body
The Bible says a lot of things bro, but no one can live up to the expectations. An as for you Terra use Formaldehyde keeps the skin rockin!

The Browns have a lot of salary cap space and a need at quarterback, and so they're a logical choice to make a move for Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, if Baltimore uses only the non-exclusive franchise tender on Flacco. But Flacco may not be the only AFC North player the Browns are considering.
Tony Grossi of ESPNCleveland.com takes a look at the possibility that the Browns will "double dip," which is what the former NFL executive Carmen Policy used to call a free-agent signing that helped your own team while carrying the simultaneous benefit of weakening an opponent. And it's not just Flacco the Browns could be targeting off a division rival's roster.
Ravens linebackers Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe could also be targets of the Browns, as could Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace and cornerback Keenan Lewis, or Bengals outside linebacker Manny Lawson and kicker Mike Nugent. If the Browns want to make a splash in free agency, grabbing a player from one of the three teams above them in the standings would make a lot of sense.
But it's Flacco who would be a real game-changer. If he's available, the Browns could turn the AFC North upside down by signing him to a contract the Ravens simply can't afford to match.

Andy's Pain Au Levain with Light Rye
Recently Andy posted on his Pain Au Levain with Light Rye. http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/23199/pain-au-levain-light-rye-flour His formula was quite similar to something I had tried awhile ago http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/22372/sourdough-white-rye with a major difference: the percentage of fermented flour, which was more than double what I had used (33.3% rather than 16%). I decided to try Andy's approach. I followed his directions with the following differences: I used my own idiosyncratic methods for refreshing starter mostly in the refrigerator, scaled to half of his formula and made a single 1Kg batard, reduced salt to 1% of flour so that my husband could eat it, and retarded for 12 hours in addition to a 2.5 hour bulk ferment and combined (evening and morning) counter proof of 2.5 hours. Finally, not having access to either of Andy's flours, I used KAAP and KA White Rye. The profile of the resulting loaf was quite similar (and Mt. Vesuvius-like) to my earlier efforts and quite different from Andy's more miche-like structure.
What took me totally by surprise though was the crumb. While my earlier sour doughs with white rye had a certain density which allowed me to cut very thin slices without smashing the loaf, this one was lighter than air, and I had to cut even thick slices very carefully to keep from tearing apart the loaf:
Also, using the leave in the oven for 10 minutes with the door slightly propped open trick which Andy suggested for this loaf (and I've used with absolutely no success on many occasions) I got a nice singing crackly crust.
This is the first time I've tried to follow one of Andy's formulas, but certainly not the last. Delicious!

Tech Update
Laser Protection Tape
3M and Shale-Inland, Chicago, IL, announced the launch of 3M Protective Laser Tape, developed for metal fabricators to temporarily protect the finish of stainless-steel, carbon-steel and aluminum sheets during laser cutting and storage. The tape is a white polyolefin film coated with a high-performance adhesive that, unlike traditional protective tapes, helps prevent ballooning, edge shredding and other problems that can arise during laser cutting. Its adhesive technology provides reliable surface adhesion with excellent thermal stability, and allows easier removal than previously available tapes, say company officials.Shale-Inland: www.shale-inland.com

Friday Musette
It's an article about cycling and air pollution, and the exposure that a cyclist faces by riding in proximity to motor vehicle traffic. While it's true that cyclists may be exposed to various forms of pollution from cars and trucks, the overall health benefits of regular exercise likely outweigh the risks. That's mere assumption on my part, though.
Still, there's a kind of street theater in the idea of a cyclist riding while wearing a pesticide respirator, for instance. These are the big rubber face pieces with 2 cartridge filters attached to either cheek. I have one at work for painting and hazmat. Toss in a pair of goggles, and you'd have that authentic Darth Vader look!
I was nearing home yesterday afternoon, rounding the bend at the bottom of our hill, when my neighbor Chuck came up alongside on his Harley-Davidson. I waved. He yelled hello, then I was up and out of the saddle, sprinting away from him! He caught up and we rode side by side up the hill at 20 mph. Chuck had it a little easier than me. He wasn't even breathing hard! He won the sprint too, but only by half a bike length. And I've been having leg cramps and pain ever since! The ego writes checks the body can't cash.
Theres a guy with a PA system in his car on morning commute. He always says something as he goes by, and it's always something friendly. Maybe I could carry a megaphone, and ask him to come ride with me some morning.
It's been a week for headwinds, leg cramps, Icy Hot, and whiskey. I had a headwind both ways when a front went through at mid day. I really don't like days like that. They leave me feeling puny.
The county sheriff's deputy who I call Officer Cupcake has been haunting the back roads I travel going home. I've seen him several times now, so it's probably not coincidence. He really is a dick. Every time I've seen him, he's immediately pulled over the very next car he sees. It's a 35 mph speed limit out there, and it's unlikely the motorists were driving at much more than that. It's probably only a matter of time before he stops me again. I'm not looking forward to it, but I'll review the relevant cycling law in the meantime, and maybe even print up some handy copies.

Lovesick Thief Learns the Hard Way Not to Steal During Live News Report
Getting dumped was just the beginning of this guy's problems.
A recently-dumped man in Poland was caught on camera during a live news report stealing roses from a florist in a bid to win his ex-girlfriend back.
Andrzej Czapka couldn't afford the flowers, so he decided to just swipe them from the shop, unaware a news report was taking place at the same time.
Sure enough, you can see Czapka running away in the background. Cops easily found him after viewers identified him, making this quite possibly the easiest case authorities ever had to solve.
After he was busted, Czapka confessed, saying, "I'd broken up with my girlfriend and I wanted to win her back with some flowers but I had no money. I didn't even see the film crew."
There's no word whether the man got back together with his lady love, although if he didn't, he'd be wise to remember there are plenty of other fish in the sea.

Director Sydney Lumet's 1973 undercover police drama Serpico earned Al Pacino his second Oscar nomination for Best Actor. While it was another in a long-running streak of Oscar nominations for Pacino that resulted in no wins until 1992's Scent of a Woman, Serpico's other Oscar nomination was for Best Adapted Screenplay for screenwriters Waldo Salt (Midnight Cowboy, The Day of the Locust) and Norman Wexler (Saturday Night Fever, Staying Alive). Although Serpico proved to be the last Oscar-worthy project of Wexler's, Waldo Salt had a much longer, and much darker story in Hollywood screenwriting history.
Waldo Salt was born on October 18, 1914 and grew up in Chicago an accomplished academic. He was so accomplished, in fact, that he graduated from Stanford University at the same time his friends were graduating from high school. Shortly thereafter, Salt was in Hollywood working as a screenwriter for MGM. There he worked on and assisted with various writing projects, but his first solo writing adaptation was with a 1937 film called The Bride Wore Red. The next year, Salt joined the American Communist Party, putting himself on the radar for the House Un-American Activities Committee during the Red Scare/McCarthy era 12 years later. Continue reading
