By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – It was the event of the year on the 6-year-olds' social calendar, and Kane Wommack deviated sharply from his peer group.
He attended the Halloween carnival dressed not as Spiderman, Casper or Scooby-Doo. He improvised and wore a ball cap, a whistle and shirt that on the back said, "Coach," penned by his mother's loving hand.
At age 6, his career path was set. His mother knew it. Kane knew it and gave it his stamp of approval.
Coaching was what he knew, because his father, Dave Wommack was full speed into his life's work.
That was 20 years ago. Now Dave Wommack – with more than 30 years of coaching experience — is in his second year as defensive coordinator at Ole Miss.
"From that day on, I said I wanted to be a football coach. That passion has never changed, and it's just grown from there," said Kane Wommack, who is beginning his second season as a defensive graduate assistant on his father's staff.
While the Rebels' new push-the-tempo offense got the headlines in Hugh Freeze's first year as coach, Kane's dad took a defense with questionable talent and depth and took giant steps forward from the previous season.
The Rebels were competitive defensively. They got better as the season played out, and Dave Wommack helped them reestablish an identity and play a big part in the team's surprising 7-6 bowl-winning season.
"The way that we work things our secondary is a totally different unit than the front end, so we can turn a 4-2-5 if you will into a 3-3 or a 3-4. It's simple on us and yet it's multiple to the other teams. We want to, if you will, be the cat not the mouse," Dave Wommack says.
The 4-2-5 employs a fifth defensive back. It's called the Husky at Ole Miss, and it helps get more speed on the field, a big factor as the Rebels ranked second in the SEC in sacks, first in tackles for loss.
Ole Miss was just ninth out of 14 SEC teams in total defense, a testament to the strength of the conference. The Rebels made remarkable improvement in the national rankings. Wommack inherited a group that finished No. 96 in scoring defense, No. 90 in total defense and No. 112 against the run.
After spring drills in 2012 Wommack's evaluations led him to remark that his unit had "five or six" players who could help win in the SEC.
More emerged. When the season ended the Rebels had improved 36 spots in scoring defense, 44 in total defense and a whopping 87 spots against the run.
With 10 starters returning and a talented signing class arriving, he's hoping for more improvement.
Senior cornerback Charles Sawyer calls Wommack's defense "very complex" where one call could have two or more meanings. Players have to keep up.
They did a better job of that, and of trusting a new staff, after a humiliating experience against Texas. The Rebels had won the first two games of the Freeze Era and faced Texas and its massive traveling fan base in an Ole Miss home game on a national stage. The Longhorns rolled up almost 700 yards and 66 points.
"They didn't get it. We had played two weaker opponents before and had success with that," Wommack said. "We had guys that were taking the dives that were supposed to be out on speed sweeps and that type of thing. It was really disheartening. Texas made it totally clear, crystal clear, to them that things were going to be the same if they didn't change."
gaining trust
The biggest change was trust. That showed up mostly in the form of reading keys in order to be in position to make plays.
"It started changing as we progressed more over the season. Different players made plays, and they realized they made them because their eyes were in the right place. Everybody started to see when we watched film that coach said their eyes were in the right place when they made that play. It started happening," Sawyer said.
The Ole Miss job is the 12th stop for Wommack, a Kimberling City, Mo., native, and he calls this the "latter" stage of his career. He's a three-time nominee for the Broyles Award, given to the nation's top assistant coach, and before connecting with Freeze sought unsuccessfully to get into high school coaching where he thought he'd wind things up.
He's moved a lot, sometimes for personal reasons more than professional, but has been told to leave just once.
Ironically, that was from his defensive coordinator position in 2004 at Arkansas under Houston Nutt, the head coach and staff he helped replace at Ole Miss seven years later.
"The Arkansas deal was extremely difficult. I grew up about an hour and a half from there. Any man that would say that emotionally that doesn't affect you is wrong, but I had tremendous faith that God was going to use me and put me where he needed to put me."
The depth of their Christian convictions is a common thread between Wommack and Freeze and is one reason Wommack, 57, was intrigued by the idea of working with Freeze.
The two got together at the suggestion of mutual friends – former Ole Miss defensive coordinator John Thompson and current Auburn coach Gus Malzahn, both with strong ties in the state of Arkansas – after Freeze was named head coach at Arkansas State.
When he first learned of Wommack's interest, Freeze was not equally intrigued.
"I was very reluctant at first. I kind of had the mindset that I wanted to go after a young go-getter, an energetic guy," Freeze said.
Freeze made a number of calls in his background check, including to Tyrone Nix. Nix's first coaching job was at his alma mater, Southern Miss, when Wommack was on staff there. Nix was the defensive coordinator at Ole Miss – under Nutt – when Freeze called and would be on the move after Freeze was hired at Ole Miss in December of 2011.
"I finally decided to interview him and ended up feeling that he was the best fit for me. It's probably good that I didn't go with a young energetic guy. We probably would not have balanced as well as Dave and I have."
Freeze's decision paid off as Wommack led a turnaround of the Arkansas State defense.
The Red Wolves in 2010 ranked No. 91 in scoring defense and No. 100 or worse in the other three categories.
Under Wommack a year later they ranked No. 14 in both rushing defense and scoring defense, No. 17 in pass efficiency defense and No. 21 in total defense.
After Freeze decided a few more years in the rear view mirror wouldn't be a bad thing, he and Wommack quickly hit it off.
Freeze calls his defensive coordinator "invaluable" to the process. He meets with Wommack and the defensive staff to know what the game plan is, but it's Wommack's plan.
There is "complete trust" as Freeze puts its, a visible chemistry that allows the head coach to focus on offense and recruiting.
"Hugh is a relentless recruiter, but he does things the right way on the field and off the field. He's a prime example of what a man should be, and he's hired people like that," Wommack said. "These kids notice that. How you affect these people has an umbrella affect down the road. How I influence Denzel Nkemdiche is going to affect thousands of people down the road, because he's going to influence people who influence other people."
For Wommack, influencing his athletes isn't about yelling and screaming. The best communication can occur when words are minimized. When it comes to emotions, sometimes less is more.
"At halftime he just comes in with his notepad and says 'This is what we're doing great, this is what we're doing wrong, and this is what we need to do to win the game,'" Sawyer said. "He's very calm. He may raise his voice a little bit, but it's not to get on you. It's more that he wants it so bad for you."
Wommack's second Ole Miss defense will have much more experience than his first.
Some jobs are secure. Competition in some spots – such as Chief Brown pushing Cody Prewitt at free safety – has made the defense better.
Wommack knows he'll need his new guys in key roles. Unlike Kane's career revelation at the Halloween throw down, he just doesn't know the exact nature of those roles.
"Some of them will have a quicker thought process than the other ones will. Certainly I hope there are two or three guys that are able to help us, because we do need help in our two deep still. We'll see how that comes out," he says.
"That's a hard thing to predict."

How much thought do you give to the design of your local library? When is the last time you even went to your local library? Worried about declining attendance, the Mid-Continent Public Library system is reinventing what your neighborhood library looks like and offers.
At its newest branch called Woodneath, near fast growing Liberty, an 1850's historic home is being re-purposed as a writing lab and self publishing center for the future JK Rowlings. The house is just part of the new project. Library director Steve Potter took Nick Haines on a hard hat tour of the library which is scheduled to open this summer.

Café Con Leche's New Center preview - and other metro Detroit coffee shop news
Jordi Carbonell is awaiting city approval to begin construction on his second Café Con Leche location, which he and his wife, Melissa Fernandez, say they hope will be open by summer's end in the New Center area.
In the meantime, Carbonell was eager to share his plans for the 1,700 square feet of space at 2990 West Grand Blvd. In addition to espresso drinks, the New Center location will serve Spanish bocadillos — sandwiches — mostly priced at about $7.50.
The new location is nearly double the size of the original Café Con Leche, at 4200 West Vernor Highway in Mexicantown.
Carbonell said he wasn't always sure they could handle two locations until they reached success with a one-month pop-up café trial at Lafayette Park over a year ago. Some of those Lafayette Park specialties, like La Lumbia de Diablo, a latte with habanero and honey, and horchata, rice water with cinnamon, will be added to the menu at the new location.
The trial gave the café more exposure and Carbonell the right amount of confidence to sign a five-year lease with Midtown Detroit Inc., a nonprofit that does community and economic development in the city's central business district along Woodward.
Midtown Inc. owns the space and will match up to $30,000 of hard construction costs and $5,000 for new signage, Carbonell said.
Café with a cause
Great Lakes Roasting Co. coffee is now available in Macomb County. It's being served up in a new kind of café that has moved into Sterling Heights -- one that plans to use all of its profits to fund local and global charity projects.
Eat Well Café, part of the Sterling Heights-based Heritage Church, opened its doors on May 19. Some charity projects that the café's profits will help fund include Life Builders in Detroit, as well as efforts to build clean water wells, clinics and schools in communities in Kenya.
Eat Well Café's coffee menu includes espressos and Americanos, as well as pour-over coffee.
A sandwich menu designed by chef Beau Burnett includes sliced prime rib with horseradish mayo on an onion roll. Sandwiches come with a choice of side, including cole slaw, onion rings and kettle chips.
Drink prices range from $3 to $4.50, and sandwiches are about $7.
Eat Well Café is located at 44635 Schoenherr Road and is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
Baked goods with a jolt
Chris Bogdan's Ann Arbor-based Get Up and Go Ventures LLC began because of his expensive daily routine of a cup of coffee and a muffin.
To save $6 a day and stay caffeinated, the University of Michigan alumnus decided to try something new: caffeinated baked goods.
Bogdan, 23, graduated with a degree in neurobiology, which he said helped him find the right recipe for the baked goods. Bogdan hired a chemist to extract the caffeine from multiple natural sources; he bakes the products in a licensed commercial kitchen.
Bogdan's product line includes cookies, granola, brownies and muffins. Each baked good item, he said, has the caffeine equivalent of one cup of coffee.
Get Up and Go products are sold for about $2.99 each and can be found in 20 stores in Michigan, California and Texas.
In Michigan, they are sold at the 7-Eleven on South University in Ann Arbor, and they soon will be on the shelves at Westborn Market in Livonia, Dearborn and Berkley.
Bogdan reports $20,000 in revenue since last November, covering his initial $10,000 personal investment, which was used for product development, packaging and commercial kitchen space. He said he projects $500,000 in revenue pending a contract with Grand Rapids-based distributor, S. Abraham and Sons Inc.

Actually, from what I heard about the fourth film, it will have nothing to do with the Pterodons that we see flying away at the end of III. They are going to go a different direction with the franchise.
In my opinion, Jurassic Park III was almost as good as the first film, and tons better then the second one. That whole Godzilla type ending to the second film was complete crap. The third movie fits much better in with the events of the first.

Before the season, I had him 6-7. Now I think he is TOP 3 at least. I have him behind Luck. I think he's as good as RGIII, and better than Newton.
Before the season, I had him 6-7. Now I think he is TOP 3 at least. I have him behind Luck. I think he's as good as RGIII, and better than Newton.
#1 because my Miami Dolphins are #1. Always have been. Always will be.
Luck, Tannehill, Dalton are the top 3 in order of their potential in my opinion.
Is this based on potential or what they are doing right now.
Based on what they are doing right now. Note I am not taking their supporting casts into account this is based solely on stats and W/L's.
1. Luck
3. Ponder
4. Dalton
5. Tannehill
Potential wise
1. Luck
2. Newton
4. Tannehill
This isn't meant to be some knock on Tannehill because I think he is right up there. He certainly could end up better than any of the guys ahead of him. Newton has to mature as a human being and learn the value of losing. RG3 showed the downside of his athleticism in the concussion today. Luck currently does not have an elite arm or THIll's mobility.
In terms of potential
1. Luck
2. Newton
3. Tannehill
RG3 proved today he wont last at this level, good player but if he is going to run around like that with his build then he will be a broken man in a few years.
RG3 will be out of this league if he keeps running around thinking he is superman.
got his first batch of stitches.....nice! hows that feel?
I'm very happy with the guy we have and that's the only thing that matters to me.
I think Tannehill has more potential than Luck mostly b/c of his superior athleticism. Luck just has a higher floor so he's more of a safer bet than Tannehill right now, but Tannehill possess the same physical tools, and intangibles like Luck, but w/ better athleticism.

The ultra-thin art
Extreme thinness is at the heart of Piaget's culture and history. Since the 1950s, the legendary 9P and 12P movements have inspired a line of calibres that are as thin as they are high-performance. The Manufacture's incredible innovative capacities and its unique creations in terms of ultra-thinness have allowed it to stand out from the crowd, assuming a position at the very summit of the art of watchmaking.
The 9P, a historic calibre
Presented in 1957, the hand-wound Calibre 9P represents a technological revolution and a turning-point in the history of Piaget.
The quest for ultra-thin
With more than 30 new movements in the space of 12 years, Piaget has become the unchallenged master of the ultra-thin movement.
Generous creativity
Since the 1960s, Piaget has asserted itself as a specialist in jewellery watches.
An epic tale of record-breaking
Double record for Piaget in 2010: the thinnest self-winding movement and self-winding timepiece in the world!
The 12P, a revolutionary calibre
In 1960, Piaget offered its male clientele the thinnest self-winding movement in the world: the 12P.
An original concept of personalisation
Thanks to its Footprint concept, and with the participation of personalities, Piaget takes part in the charitable causes that it holds dear.
Ultimate discretion
In 1998, the ultra-thin watch took the name Altiplano, a reference to the fascinating bare plateaus of Argentina.
A double record
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of this famous Calibre 12P, Piaget once again pushes the limits of miniaturisation with a double record!

If teams think it's difficult to defeat the Corona del Mar football team now, imagine if the Sea Kings, who have an aging, pockmarked football field and play their home games at Newport Harbor High, had a legit home field advantage.
Well, opposing teams' imagination might be able to take a rest come 2014.
Corona del Mar High is in the process of securing approval from the Newport-Mesa Unified School District to build a new football stadium on the campus that would cost about $3 million, according to track coach Bill Sumner.
Sumner, who has spearheaded the effort to build the new stadium, says it will be privately funded by sponsors and members of the community.
"I have a lot of people that want this," Sumner said. "I've been thinking about it and we went to the district and they were worried about the money. But we'll bring it to them. The community will pay for it. And we'll be offering some jobs in the community as well."
Deputy superintendent Paul Reed said he and Superintendent Frederick Navarro are both in support of the new stadium – and Sumner's fundraising efforts.
Sumner presented a $15,000 check to trustees at their last meeting to pay for preliminary architectural and engineering studies to launch this effort, Reed said.
Trustees will discuss authorizing the studies at their Dec. 11 meeting, he said.
Sumner – who has worked on gathering support and information on the project for six months -- says he receives emails daily from community members looking to donate money for the stadium.
"The track is 10 to 14 years old, but I can live with it," he said. "But I can't live with that football field. We probably have the worst field in all of Orange County. As a track coach, I've been through hundreds of facilities. That football field, since I've been there, has been repaired over and over. But it's just a Band-aid. It's horrible."
CdM football coach Scott Meyer says the school is in need of a new outdoor facility for not just football, but all sports.
"It's definitely time for a new field," Meyer said. "We would love to have our own stadium for all the sports. We have to get on a bus every week and play our home games at our rival school. It would be awesome for all CdM athletes."
While the facility will be state of the art, it will not be a huge structure that will practically sit in neighbor's backyards, Sumner said.
"We're going to make it really pretty instead of big, and really futuristic," he said.
If the stadium is approved, Sumner says he hopes to break ground within the next 18 months.
"We're bringing jobs and a couple bucks into the community," he said. "It's going to last for decades, not just a couple of years. And it's going to service thousands of kids."
No. of seats: 1,500
Cost of seats: $250 each
Cost of architectural work: $900,000
Cost of field: $2.1 million
Approximate total cost: $3.7 million
Timeframe: "I would like to have the legal stuff and planning done within 9 months, and 18 months after, to start building it. I hope to break ground this time next year." – Track Coach Bill Sumner

Mountain Cloud Boys is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by San Fierro Triads leader Wu Zi Mu from his apartment in the Chinatown district of San Fierro, San Andreas
Carl arrives at Woozie's apartment and is led upstairs by Guppy, a Triad, who informs him that Woozie is actually blind and blessed with unbelievable good fortune. Woozie "reintroduces" himself to Carl and says that he needs to meet a Triad who missed a meeting last time. Carl and Woozie drive over to the warehouse where the missing Triad is found. Upon arriving an usually locked gate is suddenly open and Woozie bumps into a dead Triad while the place is surrounded by flames. The door to a garage opens and the Triad inside informs Woozie about the Da Nang Boys having wiped out the Blood Feather Triads just as more of them arrive at the alleyway. Carl helps Woozie killing all the Da Nang Boys and after finishing everyone off, they escape in a Sentinel while two more Da Nang gang cars arrive and start attacking them. Woozie destroys both the cars and Carl drives him back to his apartment.
Triad: We're closed! Pokgai!
Carl Johnson: Easy, man, I'm here to see Woozie.
Triad: Oh. Upstairs.
Carl Johnson: Stupid ass motherfucker...
(On the staircase)
Carl Johnson: I'm Johnson. I'm here to see Woozie, I work with him.
Triad # 2: Yes, right this way. You know of the boss' curse?
Carl Johnson: Curse? Nah.
Triad # 2: He's blind.
Carl Johnson: Blind? But we was just racing cars last week!
Triad # 2: Yes, I know. He is blessed with unbelievable good fortune. And the Triad would do anything for him. We call him our Lucky Mole.
Carl Johnson: A'ight. I'll keep that in mind.
Triad # 2: Good.
(On Woozie's apartment)
Carl Johnson: Woozie!
Woozie: Hello, Carl.
Carl Johnson: Hey, what's happening Woozie - y'know, how you doin'?
Woozie: Straight to the facts; I can't use your help unless I'm open with you about who I am and what I do. Let me re-introduce myself... I am the boss of the Mountain Cloud Boys.
Carl Johnson: Nice to meet you.
Woozie: Likewise. Why don't you sit down. As Dai Dai Lo of the Triad, it is my responsibility to see the disputes are settled without... damaging important business.

>Yeah.. along with a bunch of online (some close, some far) Scouting friends we are trying real hard to maintain a daily log of our "Next" 100 days of Scouting. I have been pretty good at going about it.. but as activities like a Troop camp out etc get in the way.. the blog seems to be so far away from me when it is time for taps at the Scoutmaster Jerry compound.
But a lot goes on daily in the life of this Scouter. And as one would expect at least some of part of every day is dedicated to something to do with the Troop, Wood Badge, or learning something that has to do with Scouting. That "some part" may be a 10 minute phone call, or a half hour in a book, but at some point of my day I know that Scouting will creep into the picture.
Today was no exception. Today we had a "Snow Event" here in the Portland area. Immediately the new went into full panic mode and traffic ground to a halt.. I think it was so people could watch the beautiful snow flakes falling. Needless to say, even with all the warnings of impending doom (snow) the general public found itself unprepared to handle it. Schools closed, offices shut down, and kids frolicked in the snow rejoicing.. until noon… when it all melted. It snowed again this afternoon.. but by and large it is gone. Cold weather is the forecast, and we can expect more of the white stuff over the next few days.
As I drove to work this morning I thought about the folks that do not take the time and prepare. Not just for snow and bad weather, but for everything. A trip down to the Wal Mart this evening proved my point. There they were; snow shovels, de icer, antifreeze, and carts full of "get ready to be shut in" stuff. Waiting till you need it.. then off to the store for emergency supplies. Unprepared.
Be Prepared… the meaning of the motto is that a scout must prepare himself by previous thinking out and practicing how to act on any accident or emergency so that he is never taken by surprise.
Robert Baden-Powell
When we got my wife's car in December we made sure it was prepared. An emergency kit, flash light, flares, etc.. and more importantly, how to use it all.
I can not tell you how many times I have changed other peoples tires on the way to work, helped a neighbor throw on chains, and assist with a jump start. Sometimes it drives my family nuts, but something inside me tells me to "Do a good turn" and since I am prepared I feel it is my place to help.
To many times others just drive on by and think to themselves how much it sucks to be the broken down person.
I was driving out to Camp Clark to attend Wood Badge in May of 2005, Camp Clark is out on the Oregon Coast and about a two and half hour drive from my home. The route takes you over the Coast range going from the Willamette Valley out to the Oregon Coast. The road is dark and in parts one lane coming and going. I had plenty of time to get there, so I was doing the speed limit and enjoying the ride. There was fellow behind me that had somewhere to be and he had to be there now. He kept swerving and trying to pass, but because of the road, it was not going to happen till we came to a passing lane. Finally, his chance came and he blew past me. As he crested a hill I saw his tail light swerve and brighten. I approached the top of the hill to find him half in a ditch wheels spinning. He had hit a deer. The deer was in the passenger seat with its hooves sticking out of the windshield.
I pulled over and threw on my four ways, got out and ran to the car. The driver was sitting there obviously in shock. I looked at him and asked if he was ok. He turned to me and gave me a blank look of disbelief. I asked again if he was ok and of he felt any pain. He look at me for a long time in silence. Once again I asked if he was ok and if he could hear me. He nodded his head yes and then turned his head toward me, he lifted his arm and pointed at me.. he said "You have got to be kidding me… A Boy Scout is here to help me!" then he started laughing. You see I was in my uniform ready for the Wood Badge session and so I had to chuckle myself and relied "Yep.. I am here to help."
I put out some flares and got on the phone and called 911. I stayed with the guy until help arrived. It turned out he was ok, but he thanked me for being there.
It would have been easy to drive on by, but that is not what prepared Scouts (and Scouters) do.
Yesterday.. yeah you guessed it.. it was all about getting prepare for the the big winter storm and taking care of some Philmont business.
Be Prepared!Have a Great Scouting Day!

I have had a pair of Rocky boots since 2004 and I believe it is time for me to get some new boots. I hunt in Minnesota in temperatures from 15 degrees during the muzzleloader deer season to 70 degrees in a spring turkey hunt. I like the Rocky boots but I would also like to see what everyone else has and what they like. I have heard good things about the Danner boots. I would like a boot that can keep my feet dry and warm but yet are comfortable for me to cover numerous miles in one day.
What are your thoughts? I think I might go to Cabelas' this weekend to look at some.

Thread: Intense Algae Problem
anubias is not a true rooted plant. ecocomplete is waisted on plants like that. eco complete was made for plants that feed from the roots (or both) but that plant feeds from the water column if i remember right... also they do best in low light set ups. ladyhobbs had and issue growing those in higher light set ups, but in the lower light it grew fast.
anacharis is also another water column feeder, and it looks like a moss. the crypt you have (i think its a crypt) would be the only plant that would benifit from the ecocomplete.KING OF THE GOLD BARBS RAWR!!!!
I wonder if i plant one of my tiger barbs would the demon seed grow to a full tree?
gotta love them bunnies!
I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got!
You have black beard algae. Most all algaes are caused from high phosphates or nutrients that are not balancing with your phosphate levels. You also have some pretty strong light of 2 watts of T5HO bulbs but have slow growing plants.
Black beard should not be rubbed off. Spores that break loose will start a new batch of algae elsewhere in the tank. I keep my lights on a timer and only keep them on 6 hours a day. Several types of plants can be dipped in a solution of bleach water (19 parts water to one part bleach) for perhaps two minutes. Java fern and anubias are two such plants that tolerate it well. Others like vals do not and neither would Wisteria, hornwort or any of that type so it's a chance you take. I also cut away as much algae as I can.
With your tank in the shape that it is, I would probably start using Excel to kill off as much as I can and trim away all leaves that are not in good shape. I would only dose Excel as recommended. It will take a while longer but the algae will stop growing at that dose and die off eventually. But you need to get to the root cause, as well. I, too, believe you need to start dosing with ferts to balance those nutrients and cut down on hours of light.
Part of the problem is that you have slow growers but lights that support fast growers. I would remove one bulb if your light will work with one. (Some fixtures will not.) My 29 gallon has nothing on it but a clamp on shop light and it's full of plants. I use no CO2 in any of my tanks. Your problems began when you increased your light so there's your answer. More ferts are needed with more light requirements.
This was taken several months ago and the plants are much larger now but you get the idea.
PS......With a tank sparingly planted and with low light plants, you also do not want to over fertilize or you'll simply be adding too many nutrients for slow growing plants. I add ferts once a week after my water change. I don't fertilize much but then I have less light.
Okay, thanks! Looks like I've made a mess of things. Haha I'll be looking into getting some faster growing plants now that I have better lighting. I have my light set on a timer as well and its only on for about 6-7 hours a day as well. What does Excel actually do for the tank though? I dosed the tank with fertilizer earlier with what it had on the bottle for my sized tank. I'll do that once a week.
Phosphates come in our water supply and in fish food. When you get high phosphates and then other nutrients are low, such as iron and potassium, then you can cause an imbalance. Perhaps adding some ludwigia or other plants that will grow tall and fast may help some but I would take care of that algae before adding any more new plants or it will just spread. It needs to be killed........and that's what the Flourish Excel will do. I really don't like using Excel myself but have used it in emergencies. Make sure you have good oxygen going into the tank when you use it.
I'd also do that bleach dip on the Anubias and java to kill off what you have there and trim away leaves not looking good. They are just sapping strength from the main plant. I added new lights to my 55 last year and I have the constant problem with green spot since I increased my lights. The only plant that is bothered by it is the Anubias so they get a bleach dip every few months. They are attached to driftwood so I just drop the whole thing in the sink for 2 minutes then rinse off well. I do get green spots on the glass, tho, so constantly scrapping at it. I probably need to increase my ferts in that tank, too, but all I have in it is crypts and anubias so am a little stingy with it.
Alright I'll get me some as soon as I can and start the process! Thanks again for ALL the help. :)
What lh is neglecting to tell you is how excell helps. It add co2 to the water to help the plants use up the nutrients fast. But on the down side excell has nutrients in it, thus can slow down the algae's starvation. I personally dont like doesnt a mix of ferts and co2 (excell) but ive found i can better controll the co2/nutrient levels better with seachems general fert and api's co2 booster.
Either one should help you. And +1 to lh when she said make sure theres a bubbler going.KING OF THE GOLD BARBS RAWR!!!!
I wonder if i plant one of my tiger barbs would the demon seed grow to a full tree?

I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got!
Okay thanks for the other option geno!
I have had issues with a similar algae when lights are either on too long or too intense; that is even with far lower nitrates (under 0.5 ppm); phosphates, however, do help most types of algae and due to food and fish, are always farly high in aquariums when the water isn't change almost daily. Limit lights to eight hours max (use a timer) and the watts should be under two/gal. Also, the color temp is correct for plants (around 6500 K?)
Look likes this has already been covered except for light time.

A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

Glutaraldehyde is an antimicrobial, bactericide, fungicide, and virucide, commonly used to sterilize medical instruments. It is also used as an embalming fluid, as an ingredient in Anti-Freeze, an antibacterial agent in cooling towers, a leather tanning agent, a biocide in water treatment, a sanitary solution for portable toilets, and is used to sterilize ballast tanks in ships moving from one water source to another (to kill off pathogens and critters that may be transferred in the tanks from one water way to another).Glutaraldehyde is also an algaecide.
This is why I said I would only use it in emergencies. Perhaps larger fish may be fine with it but I just can find no reason to add anything like this to a fish tank unless I absolutely had to. I just like my fish more than I like my plants and they have to come first. I mean, does a tank really need CO2 so badly that stuff like this has to be used? Not for me it doesn't.
But then, many use it all the time and aren't bothered with it so it's probably just me and being overly cautious. After all, I take a blood thinner every day that's made up of RAT POISON!
On a forgotten note, as well, is that Excel KILLS several plants. I see she has java moss in her tank that can not tolerate Excel. It also kills vals and a few other plants. (A bleach dip will also kill her java moss.) This is why I mentioned getting rid of one of those light bulbs as lights appear to be the main problem here.
(I only had to edit this post 3 times.) LOL

Are there any NC collectors out there? Specifically around the Charlotte area? Recent finds in the Charlotte area include the TIE Interceptor, and both the Shmi and Luke X-wing waves.
Are there any NC collectors out there? Specifically around the Charlotte area? Recent finds in the Charlotte area include the TIE Interceptor, and both the Shmi and Luke X-wing waves.
Where did you find the Shmi and Luke X-Wing waves?
If you are familiar with the Charlotte area, the Shmi wave was found at the Target off Rea Rd. The Luke wave was found in two places, the Target in Matthews and the K Mart at Carolina Place. As of this evening, there was still a Luke and Han left at the K Mart.
Actually I am a little familiar with Charlotte. My brother lives there, although I am in Korea right now. Thanks for the info, - probably should give my brother an email.
Hey thanks for the tip dirty d, I'm a collector in Charlotte and was able to grab the Han and Luke last night. What TRU did you find the Tie Interceptor at?
Also, if anyone in the Charlotte area wants to start up a collectors circle email me.
I found the TIE at the Toys R Us at Carolina Place about a week and a half ago. There were four on the shelf. Haven't been back since I am now caught up on everything.
Found the luke x-wing wave at target in concord on Monday, and the Shmi wave at wal-mart on eastway drive in Charlotte yesterday. Wal-mart had a peg of Shmi and a peg of Obi-wan jedi training. They must have recieved a case of each figure.
The power of the force
Found the Tie Interceptor at Independence TRU today, as of about 4:00 they still had three on the high shelf.
If you haven't found a TIE Interceptor yet, head over to the Toys R Us at Carolina Place. They had 18 of them sitting on the shelf as of 4:00pm today. As for any new finds, nothing yet. So far, no sightings of the Deluxe figures.
For you collectors in Charlotte, if you haven't found the deluxe figures yet, head on over to the Toys R Us off of South Blvd. They had four Bacta Lukes and five or six Darth Mauls left. I picked up a Bacta Luke but passed on the Maul. He is so tired. This figure doesn't really add anything to the other Mauls that have been released. I really wish Hasbro would have released another Deluxe figure instead of this one. I can see him becoming a peg warmer.

Pros: Gorgeous Sound, Elegant Design, Isolation
Cons: Lacks Boomy Bass, Ear Guides
From my point of view these are excellent, both in terms of sound and isolation, plus they look extremely elegant.
I am not a 'golden ear' and can't really say much about the harmonics and sound spectrum as I'm really a complete noob here. However even for me I think I'd like a bit more punchy and powerful bass. Nevertheless the sound is basically music to the ears.
I use the comply tips supplied which provide great isolation and comfort. For me the original plastic tips simply don't work, they keep falling-out no matter what size.
My main complaint would be to the ear guides which occasionally lose the cable and the cable needs to be re-inserted, this is just annoying. You can of-course simply don't use them over ear guides, but I want that optimal sound.
I think the price is a little high, but the sound produced is well worth it.

I actually remember standing in line for Star Wars....barely.

I really had to dig into the archives for that Star Wars memory.
I expect our military service has soured us toward the idea of standing in lines and we avoid them whenever possible.
Hmmm. I guess I never stood in a line for my Service. But I come from a different generation...
I, like many men I suspect, Hate Christmas becuase of what people treat it as... I wish Charistmas was more like Thanksgiving.
That's what the holiday should reflect IMHO. Get the whole family together, EAT, DRINK, LAUGH, CRY... no presents, no pressure, just family and getting together.
Also, I've never been able to have the patience to wait to give someone something, or to get something in return (or just wait for them to give me something). If I see something I want, I buy it. And if I'm inspired to buy something for another person, I buy it and can't wait to give it to someone. What I DO like about the gifts part of Christmas, is when I get something for someone, they open it, and they didn't even know they wanted it! That's a good gift.
I spent very little money this year. I have a bunch of job interviews in MN and so I'm driving back and forth and can't afford to do much gift giving... I also have to save up for a down payment on a house, and some other stuff I want to do... Who's EVER had the money for the Christmas season? Not I...

When I left the military I took the long view of the job hunting process. I took a job in the profession I wanted, not for the money I felt I was worth, and figured if I worked hard and did what I was supposed to do it would all work out in the end. It has pretty much played out as I expected.

By Holbrook Mohr/The Associated Press
JACKSON — A settlement conference has been scheduled in a federal lawsuit in which a former megachurch employee in Mississippi says she was sexually harassed by her pastor.
Jamila Slaughter sued Word of Faith International Christian Center and Bishop Kevin Wright in June 2011. Word of Faith was founded in Detroit in 1978 and has more than 30 satellite churches, including the one where Slaughter and Wright worked in Jackson, Miss., according to its website.
The settlement conference is scheduled for April 10 in U.S. District Court in Jackson.
An attorney for the church, Charles R. Wilbanks Jr., said Friday that he had no comment on the lawsuit.
Slaughter's attorney, Carlos Moore, said this will be the second time the parties have met in a settlement conference.
"We're hopeful it will be resolved, but we're taking the case seriously and if it's not resolved we will see Kevin Wright and Word of Faith representatives at trial on Aug. 12," Moore said.
Wright's attorney did not immediately respond to a message. A message left at the Jackson church was not immediately returned.
Slaughter alleged in the lawsuit that Wright made unwanted sexual advances from December 2008 to October 2009 while she worked at the Jackson church as an administrative assistant and receptionist.
The lawsuit said the advances began during a mission trip to South Africa in 2008 when Wright told Slaughter she needed an older man to take care of her and her children. Wright was married with five children, the lawsuit said.
After returning from the trip, the lawsuit said, Wright called Slaughter into his office On Dec. 18, 2008, and kissed her on the mouth. The lawsuit says Slaughter told Wright his advances were unwelcome, but they continued for months, with him touching her, writing her notes and buying her a blouse on one occasion.
Slaughter said in her lawsuit that the propositions continued even after she and her mother met with Wright to discuss the matter and the bishop admitted to his behavior.
"When Slaughter saw that Bishop Wright did not understand the meaning of 'no,' and that church officials were not able to put an end to Bishop Wright's unlawful conduct, she decided to file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission," her lawsuit said.
The EOEC said in a March 2011 determination letter that evidence supported Slaughter's allegations.
Wright had also been hounded by allegations of financial mismanagement. The church said in a statement in September 2010 that Wright had been replaced "due to his moral failure."

- Description
The Sam Houston Museum and park has several architectural exhibits, including both of Houston's Huntsville homes, his law office, and kitchen.
From the website www.shsu.edu/~smm_www/Tour /:1. The steamboat house: In the far left side of the panorama, the steamboat house was Houston's home after returning to Huntsville during the Civil War. As the intended resident refused to occupy the home, it was a squatter's pad until the Houston's arrived. Since Sam had opposed entry into the Confederacy, he lacked the resources or influence to buy back his old home so his family occupied the steamboat house.
2. Woodland Home: Houston's homestead from 1847 to 1859. It is a simple log cabin with a facade of wood siding. Two children's rooms upstairs, one bedroom downstairs, a family room, and dining room round out the structure. The rooms are all decorated with period furnishings and can be viewed from the doorway. Entry into each room is restricted by a plexiglass barrier that seals the doorframe.
3. Houston's law office: Used for his law practice. Entry was forbidden to women and children. Houston's personal slave Joshua was allowed in to clean.
4. Replica kitchen: Located on or near the site of the original and built with period tools. The kitchen is also furnished with period cooking utensils. You can't see it in the panorama, but the path between the kitchen and home was apparently called the "Whistle Walk," as slaves were sometimes required to whistle while carrying food so they couldn't chew stolen morsels.

That's cool. I'm like you stalking doppelgänger. Further weirdness: My wife works at Sam Houston and I have a shoot planned for the old Sam Houston later this spring. I want to do a 360 pano of their auditorium...
Fascinating subjects! I viewed some of your other gigapan photos and relived my youth all the way to my present! I grew up in Conroe (Sam Houston/Armstrong Elementary), moved to the Woodlands, then Clearlake, where the entire Boliver and Galveston areas where my playground. I now live near Dallas, and am writing you from my office in "God's Chair" (center building, 22nd floor). Wow.

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Willie Gunn
No, is the simple answer, the Ness does not realy fish well near the mouth, where I can fish. The fish have their heads down and are going fast.
The Spey opens on the 11th Feb I have the first few days booked so I'm saving myself.
Have you been back for some more fishing since the opening day ???
Thank's for the report !!However this might temper things a bit !
A grand 'read' Doctor!
Keep them coming ... and pay attention!

Scottish opening Day
Although some of the great North rivers, Thurso, Helmsdale Naver, open on the 11th January, 12th this year no fishing on the sabbeth. The main opening day is the 15th, today.
News reports
The 17lb salmon was released which is somewhat of a novelty for opening day on the Tay.
I was on the Ness which is shortish river draining Loch Ness of monster fame into the Moray Firth. Famous for being the home of Grant of the Vibration rods The air temperature was a pleasant 5C and water temperature a chilly 35F, Please do not ask why I quote air in Centigrade and water in Fahrenheit but it is the thermometers that measure that way. I was fishing the town water just above the Pringles woollen mill, just below Scott McKenzies beat. I was wearing 5 mm neoprene chest waders over my tweed +4s and a fleece over the whole lot. I was using my Bruce & Walker 18ft Powerlite, XLT 9/10 cut at 22 feet with a type 6 19ft sunk tip, loaded on to an 4 ½ Hardy perfect and a 1 ½ Brass tube. I was fishing the right bank, the wind was perfect, none. The sun was shining, beautiful; Ive had worse days in April..
When I arrived the river was quiet the Invernessians do not bother with pipe bands and pouring good whisky away. There was a couple of old guys throwing metal work into the river so I chatted as I put the rod together. All of a sudden his rod bent and he played a well mended 14/15lb kelt (down streamer) which must have been a lovely fish last year. I walked upstream and started fishing down behind him, the water was high and I was having trouble keeping the D loop from the vegetation on the bank, eventually I caught the rod tip on a branch above me, not many people use 18 footers I see.
I the walked upstream to where a long diagonal weir runs across the river. The river is shallower here allowing me to keep clear of the undergrowth. I had the river to myself so was concentrating on my casting gradually lengthening the line till the cast collapsed. Glancing down I noticed that the splice was just off the reel, ok I was really trying and the sweat was pouring down my face. I was feeling pretty pleased with myself daydreaming away thinking how super life is. All of a sudden the line pulled tight and the old Hardy fairly screamed five feet of line shot up the rod, by the time I had woken up and stopped the line the fish had gone. Definitely a kelt with an aggressive take like that, he said reassuring himself. Nothing else for the rest of the day but a lovely start to the year, by 3 o clock the temperature started to drop towards zero, in these short winter days the taking times are just around midday when the temperatures rise that little bit.
Oh the fly Willie Gunn what else?

Gil Scott-Heron was wrong, the revolution most definitely will be televised. It already is for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 players on Xbox 360, with Treyarch's Revolution DLC adding four new multiplayer maps, a Zombie map, a Zombie mode, and (in a series first) a new gun to the game. It may well be the single most overstuffed content pack released for any Call of Duty game yet.
As with any added multiplayer content, there's going to be a period of adjustment as you get your bearings. The best players have superhuman reflexes, but they also know every corner of every map. Which corners to cover, which open spaces to avoid, how to go about digging into the epic Zombies easter eggs. We're here to help you with all of that. Read on for a guide to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2's Revolution DLC.
The Maps
Your four new multiplayer maps are: "Downhill," "Grind," "Hydro," and "Mirage." You can access a Revolution-specific playlist if you're a fan of Core game rules, though the new maps have also been integrated into the rest of the game's playlists. Hardcore fans can vote for the new maps, and being that the DLC is freshly released and all players are placed in lobbies with others that have the new content, you can expect the new maps to win the vote every time.
Speaking generally, the four new maps bring a lot of fresh flavors to the game. The layouts are as well-designed as fans have come to expect, but the environments are what help set the newcomers apart. There's nothing here that feels overly similar in comparison to any of the maps that Black Ops 2 launched with, and each new location also brings along some unique quirks get yourself acquainted with.
Downhill is the first snow map released for Black Ops 2, pitting players against one another with a ski resort in the French Alps serving as a backdrop. The roughly oval-shaped map centers around a ski lodge, complete with a two-way track for working gondolas that constantly loop around in both directions. The gondolas move slowly, but they make for a dangerous obstacle when firefights break out in this central location. Coming into contact with one means instant death, much like the speeding train on the Express map. Going prone won't save you either; if you're in the path of a gondola, you will be crushed.
The ideal spawn to control is the one on the left side of the map (as viewed from the pause screen), where the private villa with the snowman in front of it is. Downhill is full of great sniping opportunities, but the better vantage points are found in and around the villa. The right side of the map features a stage, plows, a ski shop, and a massive pile-up of Fun-Bags. There are lots of corners to cover and intersecting paths, making this an ideal killzone for those who run with SMG and shotgun classes, and a area to lay traps. To avoid the main lane of fire for villa snipers, skip the lodge and the central map, and follow the paths lining the top portion of the map instead.
Grind shifts the action over to a sunny skate park in Venice, California, and it's unlike anything we've ever seen in a Call of Duty game before. The glossy brown wood of the ramps and half-pipes make it difficult to rely on your surroundings for blending in. Of the new map, this is the toughest one on snipers. The left side of the map is home to a giant-sized half-pipe with a nice roost on one end that offers Grind's most expansive view, though there's a similar roost to be found on the right side of the map as well.
Grind seems to heavily favor the team that controls the top portion of the map. Both sniper roosts are most easily accessible from here, and the widely spaced outdoor bowls offer clear views of multiple points of entry. There's a temptation in Call of Duty multiplayer to avoid central map locations, but that's actually your best bet here for moving between the top and bottom sections, especially if one team effectively takes control of the left- and right-most lanes. The best bet is to trot out your strongest mid and close-range classes for this compact, obstacle-heavy map.
Hydro is another small-ish map, set at the top of a hydroelectric power plant in Pakistan. It's very similar in shape to Grind, with the key team spawn locations positioned at the top and bottom. Unlike Grind though, the central strip of road is a blood-soaked killzone. Elevated walkways at either end of the map are perfect sniper roosts that bring great opportunities for some exciting long-range duels. The central road is the shortest path from one end to the other, but running classes take a gamble every time they use it.
Moving from end-to-end is much easier on the left and right paths. The left side takes you through the power stations interior, with a pair of rectangular rooms at both ends separated by a central spillway that runs beneath the map. Teams frequently face off here, with plenty of cover in both connecting rooms creating plenty of opportunities for intense firefights to break out. Just remember to listen for a PA announcement and warning siren: they're your signal that the spillways will soon fill with rushing water, killing anyone unlucky enough to still be there.
The righthand side of the map is another outdoor location, with two one-story windowed offices facing each other across the spillway runoff. There's also an elevated platform situated above the spillway that offers a good vantage point for taking on players set up at either office, though getting to it involves dashing through that central killzone. Not recommended without team members to back you up. Crossing the map on the right side is a gamble in general due to the dangerous spillway and the open space separating the two offices, but it's a good location for medium-range firefights, with protected views both across and into the spillway accessible from both sides.
Mirage rounds out the pack. Set around a luxury resort in the Gobi Desert that's been completely decimated by a massive sandstorm. This is a huge map, easily one of the series' largest, with the same roughly oval shape as Downhill. There's a little something for everyone on Mirage. Snipers get to have some fun in the top portion of the map, with roosts on both ends – one enclosed, one not – overlooking a large, sand-filled pool. There's a fair amount of cover on the ground at both ends, but the central pool area is largely exposed.
The bottom chunk of the map is a driveway cluttered with wrecked vehicles, including a hollowed out bus. Running classes armed with SMGs and shotties can zip through here to cross the map quickly. A capable sniper can provide cover, though only from completely exposed ground locations. This is also a safer location for crossing the map than the pool because there's no exit point from the map's central main building. Once you're running the driveway, you've only got two options: forward or back.
The interior of the main building is largely made up of a circular, open space with a giant statue in the middle of it. A couple of side rooms offer access to the outside, spitting players out into either of the two main team spawns or the pool area. Snipers don't have much hard cover to rely on inside the main building, but the abundance of shadows can make one difficult to spot when positioned correctly.
Peacekeeper SMG
The Peacekeeper SMG looks like something out of Mass Effect. It's also an odd duck within the SMG category as it doesn't exactly excel in the one category that you would expect it to: it's rubbish at close range. It's got a lot more punch than most of the other options in the category, but the added stopping power is balanced by a very slow rate of fire. The slowest in this category, in fact.
There's no real "trick" to using the Peacekeeper, but it's good to be aware of its capabilities and limitations. If you're used to running around like a maniac and offing enemies at point-blank range with a rapid fire bullet hose like the Skorpion, this is not the gun for you. The Peacekeeper excels in ranged engagements thanks to its high accuracy and damage. Just make sure you clip on a sight of some sort as soon as you can; the iron sights are terrible.

Contact the PA Game Commission for information on how to get a PA Hunting License.
Pennsylvania is a unique state for visiting hunters, as it allows them to hunt the black bear. Also, you can legally hunt Pennsylvania's state bird, the ruffled grouse. If you'd rather stick to more classic game, you can legally pursue animals such as wild turkeys, squirrels, rabbits and pheasants. While Pennsylvania offers distinct hunting opportunities to visitors as well as residents, the state government requires hunters acquire the proper licenses and permits. Like any other paperwork-oriented task, this is best completed prior to your trip.
General Bagging Limits - The Pennsylvania Game Commission enforces a number of bagging limits; following these to the letter can all but eliminate your risk of problems with game wardens during your vacation. Generally, you can only legally bag one antlered deer per year, two spring gobblers annually, one hare per day and four bobwhite quail each day. A few animals don't have bagging limits, including the crow. You could also legally bag six squirrels per day during your visit to Pennsylvania.
Hunting Seasons - The best time frame for a hunting vacation may be during the months of October and November; many classic choices of hunting are only available during parts of October and November. For example, you can only legally bag antlerless deer on selected dates in October. Other limited options include the black bear, which you could only pursue on certain days in November. If you just can't make it to Pennsylvania during October and November, you can still legally hunt a variety of animals during other months of the year. You can pursue crows from July through April, or opt to hunt rabbits from December to February. In Pennsylvania, there are millions of acres available for hunting, whether you like sticking to approved state lands or the general wild.

I am headed out West where the forecast is for temps in the low 60s over the President's Day weekend. It isn't tropical, it isn't sun tan weather, but I will be wearing my camo-shorts and I will be having fun.
I am also ditching the laptop (but not the Blackberry) so I may not be checking emails or posts until I get back on the 19th. Have a great holiday!!

As stated in my article on why do you still have an iphone, if there exists an open alternative that competes (or is on it's way to being competitive), I will almost always choose the open counterpart. So I'll still use closed source software (there has yet to be a game console that truly competes with the Wii, PS3 or 360 for example), but dream constantly of an open alternative.

SICM, or Scanning ion conductance microscopy is a technique that uses probe methods as well as the increase in resistance that occurs when an electrolyte filled item is presented to a surface with poor ion conductance. Any increase in resistance can be examined before physical contact is made between the scanning probe tip and the sample at hand. The method is popular in investigation of the topography of fragile samples, particularly when it comes to examination living cells.
Scanning ion conductance has shown its worth in several different applications. This includes high-resolution as well as long-time span imaging for changes within cell volume as well as living cells. SICM has also been used in conjunction with varying methods to include fluorescence microscopy and patch clamping. Protein functions as well as proteins themselves can be examined perfectly this way.
Many feel that a combination of scanning ion conductance and ion selected micro-electrodes allows them to better watch any localized ion activity in relation to a living cell.

Extend the Life of Historic New England Church
by Alison Diegel for Carlisle/EcoStar
Like the better-known town of Williamsburg, Virginia, Ridgefield, Connecticut is a place that time forgot. Charming and filled with revolutionary-era history in the beautiful setting of New England, Ridgefield is unique and rich in colonial heritage. Originally founded in 1708, Ridgefield is home to many historical buildings. Known for its eye-catching foliage in autumn, Ridgefield is perfect for not only American history buffs, but also those interested in the popular activity of leaf peeping. The rich color of the changing leaves attracts photographers and nature lovers annually.
In September 2008, Ridgefield celebrated its 300th anniversary and with it came the restoration of the Saint Mary Roman Catholic Church, an important building and place of worship for over 3,300 Ridgefield families. The church stands not only as a historical building in Ridgefield, but also as a place of comfort and community for those of the Catholic faith.
Saint Mary Church is a notable representation of late 18th century architecture with its long nave, standing buttresses and charming steeple. Built in 1881, the church stands in its original setting with only minimal outside renovations, mainly to the roof. As the years went by two prior restorations to the roof were completed, but not to the specifications that were necessary for the church structure.
Instead of tearing away old asphalt shingles and fixing the problems at the origin, earlier re-roofings consisted of multiple layers of asphalt shingles on top of the original roof that led to leaks and structural damage. Three layers of roofing on any building is a burden, but on the nearly 150-year-old foundation of the Saint Mary Church, it became too much and the building committee decided to fully renovate the roof.
The committee began searching for roofing materials by way of natural cedar and slate shingles, but because the age of the building required a lighter roofing load, alternatives were researched.
Because of its distinctive exterior coloring, decorations and original foundation, the committee decided a lightweight synthetic slate product was a necessary choice, as was the decision to find a product that came in an array of colors for purposes of matching the bright red of the front door and other important decorative elements.
After various options were considered, synthetic slate tiles manufactured by EcoStar, were chosen for their eco-friendly characteristics, natural beauty and strength. The Majestic Traditional Slate tiles in Red, Cedar Brown, Smoke Gray and Midnight Gray that were chosen for the roof were a key component in protecting the church from the elements without jeopardizing the structural integrity or sacrificing the unique look of the building. Designed to meet the need for a lightweight, durable alternative, the tiles maintain the look of natural slate, without compromising aesthetic quality. EcoStar Majestic Slate™ tiles emulate the look of slate, but add enhanced strength and durability, providing long-term protection and increased service life.
Not only do the EcoStar tiles provide aesthetic appeal, conserve natural resources and come with a 50-year warranty, they are sustainably sourced as well. The eco-friendly tiles are made from 80% recycled content, such as post-industrial rubber and plastic.
Once the choice was made, the church committee enlisted the help of Phil's Main Roofing of Norwalk, CT. Owned by Phil Tavella, a third generation roofer, Phil's Main Roofing has been installing EcoStar tiles for over ten years and are confident in the performance of this synthetic roofing product. Boga Davidson of Phil's Main Roofing said, "The factors considered when selecting EcoStar tiles were the appearance of the tiles, 50-year warranty and EcoStar's company reputation."
Before installing the tile in April, Tavella's crew worked through the winter designing the decorative finials, copper window flashings and gutters as well as other elements for the roof, which in combination with the EcoStar tiles, created an authentic historic look for the church. This project was important to the crew because they remained working full time while waiting for the better weather to begin installation of the tiles.
Once spring arrived, the installation of the roof began with the application of plywood and rigid insulation followed by EcoStar's Glacier Guard™ self-adhering membrane that is designed to provide lasting protection against water and ice infiltration, an important factor in Connecticut's cold climate. Once the underlying layers were complete, the crew of Phil's Main Roofing began the installation and masterfully blended a mix of Red, Cedar Brown, Smoke Gray and Midnight Gray EcoStar tiles, creating a unique, striking visual effect on the roof.
The final and most challenging part of the tile application was on the church steeple, but the light weight of the tiles and clear exposure marks made the process trouble-free. At such a height, heavy, natural slate can be easily dropped and broken. Although EcoStar tiles are easy to cut to size and bendable, as was necessary for the circular steeple, they maintain their sturdiness and durability and do not break when dropped, alleviating stress on the workers and making the project safer and cost efficient.
After the final tile was applied, the specially formed copper finials, flashings and gutters were mounted. The restoration was completed in September, in time for the kick-off of Ridgefield's yearlong tri-centennial celebration. Among reenactments, musical and theatrical performances, parties and fireworks, the Saint Mary Church continues to stand out in a community proud of its history and beauty.

Hey, noticed that there wasn't a thread for anyone from vancouver here. So, took it upon myself to start one.
Nothing much new in the way of figures or vehicles. Though, there is the new jedi battle game and the cereal has started to show up with the rubix cubes inside of them. Scored a dooku/sidious cube yesterday.
if you collect and live in the vancouver/victoria area, why not sign up for firstname.lastname@example.com

Lee Kuan Yew's legacy
What to make of Singapore's first and former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, who died Monday morning in the city-state? Under the banner of the People's Action Party, Lee held government power for three decades. After stepping away from the prime minister's office in 1990, he held positions of senior minister and later "minister mentor" until 2004, when his son, Lee Hsien Loong, became prime minister. Under their rule (and the interregnum of Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong--not a Lee family member, but hand-picked for the role, with the elder Lee looming over his shoulder for 14 years), Singapore emerged from Southeast Asia's post-Second World War tumult as its most successful economy, a combination of authoritarian government, democratic trappings, and free markets that some predict will be the next century's model for growth and stability. And Singapore's media policies are being replicated across much of Southeast Asia.

Lip Balm is one of those items we typically buy reflexively. We see it by the counter and purchase it because we can't recall where we put that last tube. Better too much than not enough, and there's little worse than obsessing over dry, chapped lips to the point of losing sleep. To that end, we're happy to offer Mad Alchemy Lip Balm.
It makes sense that an artisanal embrocation company would also have their own blend of lip balm. The Lip Balm uses many of the same ingredients, and the thought taken to create their lip lube is similar to what has gone into their other products.
The Mad Alchemy Lip Balm has a base of beeswax. This is great because it's a sustainable ingredient. They mix helianthus, sunflower seed oil, and coconut oil with it to create a just right blend of texture, and they add peppermint for a notable and sustained cooling tingle. The ingredients work together to provide your lips with sunscreen rated SPF15. It comes in a standard 0.15 oz roll-up tube.

Minty and has SPF!
Easily the best sunscreen chapstick I've ever had. The first one that doesn't have that funny taste to it. Plus, it does its job and feels good on the lips. Flawless.
Pretty Solid
The peppermint is really good. I like the tingle and find that it is a nice way to perk-up on the bike. Seems to dry out pretty quickly, however. Overall, a solid B/B+
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I usually stock up on another amazing SPF 15 hemp lip balm I've been using for years from one of my fav online shops but I grabbed this stuff in a pinch during a recent order from BC. I could smell the peppermint - just like a candy cane - as soon as I started unwrapping the seal. It glided on smoothly with a soothing, cooling sensation that tingled for a while. The balm itself stayed put and left my lips soft and protected for a long time. I am kind of particular and pretty well versed in lip balms and this one is of good quality and very pleasing to the senses!
I had to check online after it arrived that it was really SPF 15 because it doesn't say so on the tube. The paragraph in the description says the ingredients work together to provide a SPF 15 sunscreen. I didn't realize the hemp balm I use was a broad spectrum and had added active ingredients. So, as much as I may like this lip balm I will probably go back to using the hemp one with the broad spectrum SPF 15 because I spend a lot of time in the sun and I need the added protection.
However, if you don't need quite as much protection and are looking for something all natural, that protects from the sun with natural ingredients then this one is the way to go!
Delicious little lip balm!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It works as advertised. Yummy, if you accidentally swallowed it! Use it & drink more water! No more chapped lips!
Excellent year round, esp in the winter
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is really excellent stuff. Not greasy or flavorful, it has a very viscous quality that stays on even if you wipe or lick your lips. Its great year round, but because of the way it adheres its especially useful in the winter time.
Great Lip Balm
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Good stuff, got chapped lips? You should probably use some lip balm.
