I hope this works.
I found this site and since this tree is not something you see everyday, I thought you might like it.
Enlarge the pictures so you can compare size with houses, cars, etc.
We used to live near it. You couldn't see it until the subdivsion was built up around it. It was a surprise to those nearby to see what was there. Then, they build houses and were wise enough not to cut it down.
It's not considered a championship tree as the people that know about such things, say it is really three trees that grew together.
Here is a link that might be useful: BIG tree
That is a great oak and I believe I have seen it in the registry and on the list of prominent trees in the US. It is remindful of the Angel oak (bottom of linked page) that is much older and is threatened by development.
Here is a link that might be useful: Heritage Trees
Don, thanks for the link! I don't think it made the list of prominant trees because it's not considered ONE tree.
It may be just a story about it, but it and the surrounding area is supposed to have been deeded to the Tree and it can't be cut down unless it agrees. It owns itself! However, the land around it is built up so unless we get desperate to build, I doubt that it would ever be cut down for housing.
If you run out of things to do, check the other pictures on this photographer's site. I enjoy them even though I have seen about all of them, Alive and In Person!!! lol
Isn't that the tree where you had your picture taken A? I remember your sparkly eyes. Gorgeous tree! I love that it's still standing.
Don, I am sad my 17 Mile Drive Lone Cypress isn't on the link you provided. I think it's prominant. It's certainly iconic when one thinks of Monterey/Pebble Beach.
coconut is right, we're not complaining! :)
Don, I've always wanted to sleep on the beach. How cool is that! Wonder how old that Pebble Beach tree is? I'd be interested to know. I remember the canopy being much wider, but it is, afterall, pruned by the ocean.

The recent debacle over New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie calling the West Bank the "occupied territories" at pro-Israel billionaire Sheldon Adelson's Las Vegas conference only fuels the Palestinian cause and ensures Israel's continued isolation, according to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman.The fact that Christie felt he had to apologize to Adelson in person would make Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei very happy, Friedman says, because the more Adelson tries to control government policy on Israel, the more Israel and its powerful supporters look like the "bad guys."Iran would love nothing more than to watch Israel be destroyed by way of international public opinion and disdain, he says. Sheldon Adelson and his mission to financially control the US government's official line on the West Bank is only speeding up the process, he writes.By using his billions to sway politicians towards what he sees as protecting Israel, Adeldon is actually hurting its cause, Friedman says. Adelson is "loving Israel to death.""Now Iran has an ally: Sheldon Adelson — the foolhardy Las Vegas casino magnate and crude right-wing, pro-Israel extremist," he wrote. "Adelson personifies everything that is poisoning our democracy and Israel's today — swaggering oligarchs, using huge sums of money to try to bend each system to their will."Last week, Christie apologized to Adelson, a key donor to Republican presidential candidates, for using the term "occupied territories" during a speech to Jewish Republicans.The controversy erupted when Christie recalled a 2012 trip to Israel in remarks before the assembled crowd at the Republican Jewish Coalition event."I took a helicopter ride from the occupied territories across and just felt personally how extraordinary that was to understand, the military risk that Israel faces every day," the Republican governor, who is believed to be eyeing a run to the White House in 2016, was quoted as saying by Politico.Christie's use of the term "occupied territories" raised eyebrows among the assembled donors.After the event, Christie met privately with Adelson and offered an explanation and apology, which were accepted.The New Jersey governor "clarified in the strongest terms possible that his remarks today were not meant to be a statement of policy," a source told Politico.Adelson, a confidante of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the owner of the popular freebie newspaper Israel Hayom, is one of the most powerful figures in American politics by virtue of the massive donations he doles out to Republican candidates. His hawkish positions on Middle East issues, and Israel in particular, have been articulated in the past.

Iraq war dodgy dossier 'written to order'.
A SENIOR intelligence officer has told how he was ordered to "sex up" the "dodgy dossier" making the case for war in Iraq.
Major General Michael Laurie wrote to the Chilcot inquiry into the conflict contesting evidence given by the Downing Street spin doctor Alastair Campbell. He had told the inquiry the 2002 document was designed to set out UK concerns, not "make the case for war".
But Laurie, the former head of Defence Intelligence, said: "I and those involved in its production saw it as that, and that was the direction we were given."
His damning account of how intelligence was spun to fit the case for war by Tony Blair's government is among new documents released by the panel yesterday.
They also include a memo drawn up two years before the invasion by the then head of MI6, suggesting getting rid of Saddam would help secure oil supplies. Campbell waged a war of words with the BBC over a report claiming he "sexed up" the documents on Iraq.
Defence intelligence expert David Kelly was outed as the source and ended up taking his own life.
Last night, Campbell stood by his testimony and insisted on Twitter he had never met Laurie.

Course: Understanding Wine
A small region of gently rolling hills, Carneros is one of California's first vineyard areas with viniculture dating back to the 1870s.
The region straddles the southern ends of both Napa and Sonoma counties, though the majority of the vineyards are on the Sonoma side.
The climate receives the full force of cool air from San Pablo Bay, and the clay and loam soils are thin and less fertile.
A seemingly inhospitable area for agriculture, Carneros nevertheless produces some outstanding wines.
The climate and soils work together to stress the vines, reducing the quantity of grapes produced by each vine; the few grapes that are produced receive the full attention of the vines and therefore accumulate more concentrated flavors.
The early-ripening Chardonnay and Pinot...

Submitting to UN authority. (The Last Word).
While seemingly good, these events must be scrutinized far more carefully because they do not exist in a vacuum. We live in a distinctly UN-saturated world.
Important Background
President Truman obtained UN authorization to send troops into Korea in 1950. Three presidents sent troops to Vietnam citing authority derived from SEATO, a UN subsidiary. George Bush (the elder) blatantly told Congress he didn't need its authority to attack Iraq in 1991 because he obtained authorization from the UN. And the current President Bush sought and obtained UN authorization to wage a war on terrorism.
The U.S. Constitution states that Congress alone can declare war. But beyond the repeated trashing of this venerable document in each of these wars, THE NEW AMERICAN has previously pointed to an absolutely pivotal assessment of what has occurred: One seeks authority from a superior, not from an inferior A succession of presidents -- with increasing congressional acquiescence -- has effectively acknowledged that the UN is our nation's superior. Although few will admit it, most Americans have accepted this arrangement, and, even more outrageously, so has the overwhelming majority in Congress.
If the UN is our nation's superior in matters military, is this relationship total? Are those slowly and patiently conditioning Americans to allow UN domination of our military working for eventual acceptance of complete UN domination? And where do the two moves taken on May 6th fit -- if they fit at all -- in the steady delivery of our nation to the UN?
EU, WTO and NAFTA Precedents
European nations have already discovered that their membership in the European Union has forced changes in laws, even an EU currency. An EU court, for example, has forced Britain to accept homosexuals in its military. The EU now reigns superior over all EU member nations.
Similarly, once our nation joined NAFTA, its officials required changes in our regulations dealing with inspection of trucks entering the U.S. from Mexico. NAFTA, therefore, has become our superior.
Likewise, entry into the World Trade Organization has resulted in surrendering more U.S. sovereignty. One indication of this transfer of independence occurred when the WTO ruled against America's tax policies. Congress has meekly accepted WTO superiority.
With these precedents in mind, consider that the UN's ICC claims judicial power over every person on Earth. And the world body's campaign against private weapons ownership is hardly a secret. How can America refuse to submit to these UN designs?
Administration Spokesmen Miss the Mark
If present U.S. leaders really mean to keep Americans free of ICC jurisdiction, why did the Bush administration's undersecretary for political affairs, Marc Grossman, complain only about the ICC's supposed undermining of the UN Charter? Grossman didn't focus on concerns that this UN court is unconstitutional.
Also, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld issued his own May 6th statement claiming that the ICC threatens all American overseas military and official personnel with potential ICC prosecution. While correctly noting that "the ICC will not respect the U.S. decision to stay out of the treaty," Rumsfeld seemed less concerned about that than his worry that the court's all-encompassing claim of jurisdiction would "create a powerful disincentive for U.S. military engagement in the world." Why not, therefore, bring the troops home from all UN-authorized assignments?
Regarding an additional UN power grab, the Bush administration has stated that it will not sign the Kyoto Protocols supposedly designed to deal with global warming. Government officials have stated instead that they will work to rearrange U.S. law so that much of the Kyoto agreement will be adopted unilaterally -- not in name, but in substance.
This is what can be expected regarding the "unsigning" of the ICC treaty and the attorney general's protestations regarding private ownership of weapons. Our leaders will quietly conform U.S. law to the UN's dictates. Stealth will be needed until such time as the American people's will to resist open UN domination can be broken.
If this isn't the plan, why do our leaders keep America in the United Nations?
The bottom line is clear: For anyone who believes in national sovereignty and personal freedom, there can be no course other than to have our country withdraw completely from the United Nations.

DEFINITION of 'Put Swaption'
An option on an interest rate swap that gives the option buyer the right to pay a fixed rate of interest, and receive a floating rate of interest from the option seller / swap counterparty. The buyer of a put swaption expects interest rates to rise and is hedging against this possibility, while the seller of a put swaption expects interest rates to fall. Settlement of swaptions is usually on a cash basis.
Also known as a payer swaption.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Put Swaption'
Swaption market participants are generally large companies and financial institutions. As an example, consider an institution that has a large amount of floating-rate debt and wishes to hedge its exposure to rising interest rates. By buying a put swaption, the institution converts its floating-rate liability to a fixed-rate one for the duration of the swap. Should interest rates rise as anticipated, the company will receive the difference between the rates in cash on each date on which debt repayment is due.

Why there is neither Mario nor Zelda to play on the Wii then, huh?

You say that as if it was a bad thing. I love Wii Sports and I'd gladly buy version 2 or a few well-made clones, yet I don't have time to play through dozens of FF-type games each year. I'd be happy if that change occured.

Covered saucepans
Maybe I'm overthinking this. I use a Revere Ware 2 qt. covered saucepan all the time. Finally thought tonight that hey, I should get a second one in the same size and a 3 quart one too, and maybe....
I feel dumb even posing the question (because the one I have has served me well for ?? perhaps a decade or two) but should I consider alternatives to what I have? This one doesn't seem to have copper on the bottom but that rings a bell. Maybe I do have another somewhere....
Please tell me about your favorite covered saucepans, and why you like them.
I use Calphalon pots when I cook and Emile Henry when I bake. My Calphalon lids are glass and they hold up well to my one and only 15k BTU burner on my gas range. (the rest are around 9k or so) LOL. I like being able to see how things are coming along but I do wish the handles remained a tad cooler. Hope this helped! :)
I have been saucepan-shopping since getting my new induction stove. Most of the pots I tried seemed too heavy and uncomfortable for me (which is funny since all my skillets are cast iron and I bought two more of them to celebrate the new range). I have been using Farberware for ages and found that the new Farberware Classic is indeed induction compatible, so for now at least I am going to get a few of those since the handle is comfortable for me (it's shorter than most others). I have bought one pot so far and it has a glass lid, which is indeed handy -- though I do like solid lids too because there is no seam to get gunky and they won't break if the kids drop them. Also the new Farberware Classic line has straining pots, which I really want.
I looked at Emerilware. It is pretty and wasn't too uncomfortable for me, but -- and this is ridiculously petty -- I didn't like his name being on the pan where you can see it while you cook. I mean, I have never even seen his show. Silly, I know. But it does have see-through lids and the straining saucepans (the 2-qt one is more of a saute pan, wide and shallow) so it is worth a look. Also check TJ Maxx; they had some beautiful pans there when I went. (But be warned -- I brought home a Chantal that was gorgeous, but the lid handle got hot after 20 min of simmering water -- not burn your fingers hot but enough for me to send it back. This pot was made in China so probably quite different than the German-made Chantal.)
All of which is to say -- I think it is a VERY personal decision and what works well for other people might not suit you. (How many other people would walk past the Calphalon and Cuisinart and choose Farberware, like I did? And it wasn't a money decision.) Think about things like riveted vs welded handles, too. (The Emeril has rivets and I prefer welded, which was a much more sensible reason for me not to choose it. I think rivets are said to be stronger, but the welded handles on our Farberware and Revere are still sturdy after 2-3 decades of use, and I have used beach house cookware with rattly riveted handles -- it just depends on the build quality.)
This is too long, but one last point. Induction-compatible cookware is just cookware that happens to hold a magnet, so you don't have to look for non-induction cookware. Saucepans that work great on induction will work great on any cooktop. Have fun with the hunt!
I am always astonished at the quality of my Tramontinia Triply cookware that I bought at Walmart. Please don't have a knee-jerk reaction at the Walmart name. Tramontina Triply is amazingly good cookware. I have All-Clad too, and the Tramontina is equal in quality, and actually better ergonomically (at least for me) because I find the All-Clad handles very uncomfortable. I have the Tramontina Triply 4-qt and 3-quart saucepans, but I tend to use the 3-quart much more frequently, as the 4-qt. seems too big. When I do need a bigger pan, I pull out my 5-quart LeCreuset, so the 4-qt. saucepan just doesn't get much use. My 3-quart is used almost every day, and I am thinking about buying the 1-1/2 quart Tramontina Triply saucepan too, for re-heating a little soup and that kind of thing. Also, it cleans up beautifully with Barkeepers Friend; I've had mine several years and they still gleam.
The price can't be beat, and Walmart has a great return policy too. You typically can't find the Tramontina Triply in the store; you order it online and they will ship to your nearest store for free. If you don't like it, the return is easy.
Make sure though that you are getting the Tramontina Triply. The Tramontina without "Triply" in the name isn't that good. It's like night and day.
A note just regarding the earlier mention of glass lids - I myself do not like them (sorry). I find the glass steams up almost immediately, so you can't see in the pot anyway, and you have the further concern of the glass breaking. I prefer stainless steel lids. Just MHO.
Tramontina Triply 3-qt. Saucepan
Tramontina Triply 1-1/2 qt. Saucepan
Another vote for Tramontina Triply-clad. I have the Tramontina Triply-Clad 5-qt. dutch oven, and can attest to its quality. Heavy-duty stainless steel, beautiful shine, even heating, no hot spots, lid fits tightly. I learned about Tramontina Triply from two places, the Gardenweb (the Cooking Forum and the Kitchens Forum) and Cook's Illustrated Magazine. My budget is tight for cookware, and I could not see spending several hundred for All Clad when the Tramontina got such glowing reviews for a fraction of the cost. I am very happy with it.
I've seen Tramontina non-Triply at Tuesday Morning and Home Goods and it is thin and light, not like the Triply, so be careful of that. I have my eye on the Tramontina Triply 12-qt. stockpot. From what I've read, the All-Clad stockpot is only triply around the bottom and a few inches up the sides. The Tramontina is triply all the way up the sides. I would finally be able to make chicken soup, meatballs for a crowd, etc. without having the food sloshing over the side. I am only hesitating cause I don't know where I'll store it! (someone here, please talk me into it, or out of it!)
oldbat2be, my name is very easy to pronounce, if you put on your pun cap....
Any Day Now!
Yes emeril will work on regular stoves as well as induction....funny, I never noticed his name on it! One thing I do miss with his cookware though is the lid handles aren't insulated so I do have to reach for a pot holder if the pots been cooking for awhile.... but the see thru lid more than makes up for it...esp with induction as it heats so darn fast that things are apt to boil over if not watched and while I was learning how to cook with it, seeing what temp was needed to keep the rice simmering, etc. was excellent.
The Cuisinart tri-ply from Costco gets very good reviews on chowhound and egourmet. They are $199 for a 12 piece set. I have seen a mfg rebate on them before, I think it was $50 off. We had already bought our Cuisinart set from Sam's and used it before I saw the ones at Costco. The Sam's Club Cuisinart is not tri-ply, but I think it is a 14 piece set and it was less expensive. Don't remember what we paid though.
I have Princess House stainless steel (I don't like non-stick, but they have those now). They have glass lids, which I love. I started with my first Princess House pans about 15 years ago and have added to my collection. That's all I use now. They are beautiful! I have used Calphalon, Magnalite and Revereware in the past. Like my Princess House the best!
Annie, I went with Emerel too. They are okay, but wished I had kept my mom's set. The glass covers are an issue. Emerel has a recall with money back due to lids exploding. I haven't replaced them yet, not sure what to go with.
Ot, but have always wanted to suggest that anything you buy should be checked out on the gov recall site. Amazing the amount of appliances there, among other items we use on a daily basis. Remember to keep all of your receipts. And be weary of buying second hand...which is also illegal if someone is selling a recalled item.
Thanks all. AnnieDeighnaugh - love your aide-memoire!
ShedTheChrysalis - do you find your calphalon clear lids steam up?
northcarolina - I understand your reaction to having Emeril's name on cookware... I refuse to buy any Barefoot Contessa cookbooks on the same grounds :) (Have I watched either show or chef? No... ) Thanks for educating me on use of induction pans (I know very little about the subject).
angela12345 - I will look into the Cuisinart triply; I have lots of other Cuisinart pots and pans (no idea if triply or not).
shannonplus,alwaysfixin - I've read other good things about the Tramontina Triply
deb52899 - I will look into these, thanks for the heads up on the clear lids.
technicolor - good point about checking on the gov recall site. I would never have thought to do this.
I have realized belatedly that there is one more factor I need to include. I have switched to gas with our remodel and definitely have noticed an issue with sides overheating on our CC. It looks like triply will work better for me, with gas heat... and perhaps I need to use a larger pot/pan than I'm used to.
For those of you with gas, what do you prefer to use?
This probably won't help you decide what to buy to replace your old revere pans (which are backups to the ones I usually use), but here are my sauce pans of choice:
I use 30 or 40 year old Revere copper sauce pans. I know the copper isn't really thick enough to do much good, but I love them. They never get polished, so have a nice, worn patina. I have one good Mauviel sauce pan that I love and probably use most often.
Their appearance probably makes most cooks twitch to polish them, but I like 'em like this.
Oldbat (ooh, I feel bad calling you that) - in answer to your question, I have gas, and the Tramontina Triply performs fine. The ol' standby, Barkeepers Friend works well to clean. I also have a nonstick Cuisinart saucepan that I use almost exclusively for rice and which has a glass lid. It performs great and is well made.
I am indifferent as to whether the lid is glass or not, since I have both. The glass does steam over almost immediately so it doesn't help to see the food in the pan. But the glass lid performs fine as a lid. Some glass lids though come with a steam hole built in so avoid those as you'll never have a tight seal.
Hi again Oldbat! It really feels odd calling you that... lol. My calphalon does get condensation under the lids - water droplets, not so much steam. I can still see what's in the pot but I don't see how it could be avoided since the nature of cooking takes moisture out of food and with a lid on, the moisture has to go somewhere.?? I also have a farberware pot that I use if I need an extra sauce pot and it has a metal lid which collects moisture under the lid, just an FYI.
Honestly, the way I discovered calphalon was at Goodwill, as odd as that sounds. My Mom loves thrift store shopping and one day she bought me one that somebody had donated - a brand new, in a box, Calphalon saucepan. I was maybe 19 years old and needed pots so used it and love it. I still have it to this day - many, many years later. I love how evenly it cooks food and I love heavy, solid pots. What do you prefer? You could always buy a few pots from different manufacturers to see what works for you. Costco was suggested above and they have a phenomenal return policy. Not sure about Wal-mart (can't stand that store), but it looks like there are a few that like those pots.
Oh... I also have to hand wash my pots. I'm not sure if that matters to you or not but the manufacturer recommends no dishwasher. Good luck!
Nah, I don't put the pots through but my sil does and all's well. I think it depends mightily on your specific DW. These days some are very gentle. I'm not actually really certain why you weren't *supposed* to put them through a DW! Just received "wisdom", unreflected.
I'll occasionally put lids in the DW, but pots just don't come clean. And they take up so much space, so it is faster and easier to wash them by hand and save the space for plates, etc. But my fav pans are cast iron and carbon steel, and DW cleaning will destroy their seasoning. I've had non-stick in the past and DW'ing kills the non-stick (not that it lasts long anyway). So, pots and pans get washed by hand, and easy stuff like dishware, glasses & cutlery get the DW treatment.
Oh, my gosh, all my pots but the cast iron get a quick scrub (if needed) and into the dishwasher--if I get them there before my DH hand washes. We have an ongoing argument whether dirty pots get stored out of sight in the dishwasher or left out for him to wash. (After 40 years of marriage. now that he's retired I'm coming to realize what a comfy old-fashioned housewife he would have made. Even if I am still the only one who'll actually polish them.)
In any case, I have an eclectic collection of good stuff over decades, including several All-Clad and a few odd pieces of other brands still around these days. I specifically scoured off the inner lining of a Caphalon pot of a size I bought because it was on sale and I liked the shape. I don't babysit any cookware. Too many alternatives out there.
All-Clad is great, and the ones I have will last forever, but I bought it when it was the only thing like it available in my market. I'd never pay that price for just a brand name. It does have solid metal lids that will last as long as the pots, which I like, and imagine my daughter or maybe one of her DILs also will some day. Grandma's pots. :) They do NOT stack, though, having straight sides and all the ones in a close volume range having the same base diameter (they just get taller).
If you're used to the lighter weight of Revereware, you might really like the Chantal enameled steel saucepans, which are sturdy without being wrist-breaking. I have two that we use regularly and really like.
Make sure to find the ones made in Germany -- I can't find them online, they may have stopped making them? They still make the more expensive copper fusion line in Germany, and those might be even better than the regular ones I use.
Here is a link that might be useful: Chantal enamel on steel
My rule is EVERYTHING goes in the dishwasher !! LOL. Including our china and crystal. The china is Lennox Vintage Jewel - platinum rim is DW safe. The crystal is Mikasa Park Lane, not very expensive per piece (as crystal goes), even though we have never had a piece damaged, we wouldn't worry about it too much at that price.
My wedding cookware from the 1970s--which I am still using--is Club Aluminum. I love it, it cleans up nicely. I also have a few pieces of the old Guardian Service aluminum line that I inherited from my mom and aunt and use from time to time. Although it could go in the dishwasher, I tend to wash it by hand (to preserve the Bakelite handles).
Thanks to all for the advice and suggestions. The winner has already arrived and I love the heft (hmm wondering how my wrists will hold up when these are full...?). Arrived back at the house this afternoon and saw a big stack of boxes.... Tramontina, I said to the kids, now why does that sound so familiar?
Ignore the peeling backsplash; had a dreadful installer. Half the tiles are poorly cut and the rest poorly laid. (Joke, these are still my paper photocopies).
Unfortunately, last night (it's been an expensive week), I unpacked another purchase which is proving to be hands down my favorite kitchen appliance/tool (and a close match to my favorite KK faucet). Will I ever really use these saucepans now?
I'm keeping a running list of the times we use this. One day, I'll be thrilled at the cost per use:) 7 times in the past 24 hours; had my first green smoothie and LOVED it (unfortunately, no one else did but that's ok, froze the leftovers for future use!!). Baked potato soup, frozen bananas foster, salsa, lots of smoothies too.
The pans are gorgeous ! So you ordered them from Walmart on line ? Please do post back with a review after you have used them for a variety of things. I guess they are like all SS pans in that you preheat them very well before adding oil etc to them to prevent sticking...I am anxious to hear how you like them. c
Annie, you are right...me, I'm wrong and misspelled Emeril. It is Wolfgang Puck with exploding lids. Although no recall, but wherever it was bought will return the cost. At least Sam's will. I couldn't remember where I heard this, but a search again helped. All Clad does produce their own, but imports Emeril from China. There is a lot of info on glass lids from China being a problem. And it may be due to poor QA which causes an unknown experience.
Alwayfixin...thanks for the links. Keeps me on track.
I'm just edgy about using the glass lids. Thanks to both of you.
Here is a link that might be useful: GW thread
Oldbat2b - that set looks fabulous! Did you get the 8-piece set or the 10-piece set? Congratulations on your new arrival. I love my Tramontina Triply. (Tip - whenever I've had any rainbow-color stainless staining, the Bar Keepers Friend takes care of it).
Technicolor - I had pointed out that the Circulon cookware glass lids had a recall, and some Le Creuset stainless cookware had a recall also. I didn't realize Wolfgang Puck's glass lids had a problem too. I have a saucepan with a glass lid (not one of those brands though), and it has been fine. But I think that any of my future purchases of cookware I will go for stainless lids and avoid the whole issue.

This water-soluble gel cleanser for normal to oily skin contains 2% salicylic acid. That may appeal to those struggling with acne, but salicylic acid's benefit is all but lost when it's in a cleanser that's quickly rinsed from skin (and you would never want to leave cleansing ingredients on your skin for very long). The salicylic acid simply doesn't have enough time to penetrate the pore lining and go to work, not to mention that the pH of this cleanser is too high for it to have benefit anyway. That leaves you with a good cleanser for normal to oily skin, but not one that, when used at night, provides clearer skin the next morning. For that, you need leave-on anti-acne products whose active ingredients include benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. Note that this cleanser also contains potentially irritating plant extracts, including Helichrysum italicum, which is not advised for use by anyone allergic to ragweed (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com).
Dermatologist tested and clinically tested to help visibly reduce redness and pimple size by morning to give visibly clearer skin. The creamy textured wash washes away dirt, oil and bacteria and is formulated to work continuously through the night to fight acne when your skin is actively in the process of cell regeneration and renewal.
Active: Salicylic Acid (2%), Other: Water, Glycerin, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Coco-Glucoside, Glycol Distearate, Sodium Chloride, PEG-200 Hydrogenated Glyceryl Palmate, Laureth-4, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Polyquaternium-43, Fragrance, Lavandula Stoechas Extract, Helichrysum Italicum Extract, Cistus Monspeliensis Extract, Sodium Hydroxide, Formic Acid, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben, Red 33, Blue 1
Clearasil At-a-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; effective topical disinfectants with 10% benzoyl peroxide; a good BHA option for those who prefer pads; a decent selection of water-soluble cleansers and topical scrubs.
Weaknesses: As is true for most anti-acne lines, irritating ingredients with no benefit for skin take precedence; only one sunscreen and it's part of a lackluster three-step kit; no lower-strength benzoyl peroxide products (10% has a higher chance of causing irritation than 2.5% and 5% versions).
Perhaps no other line is more synonymous with decades of zapping zits than ever-present Clearasil. The brand debuted in 1950 and was the first to offer anti-acne products to a teenage audience. The company has had several owners over the years (including Procter & Gamble), but has always kept its place on store shelves. The current selection of products is larger than in years past, yet they remain overwhelmingly disappointing because most of them contain irritating ingredients that don't help blemish- or blackhead-prone skin. Alcohol, menthol and its derivatives, and witch hazel show up repeatedly in these and other anti-acne products at the drugstore, creating a precarious situation that leaves shoppers who are dealing with acne faced with few genuinely effective choices. Luckily Clearasil comes through a few times with some very good benzoyl peroxide products for effective disinfecting, a very good BHA option, and a few other gems.
By the way, although Clearasil has products directed toward adult (instead of teenage) acne, the basic cause and treatment of acne is the same regardless of age. The protocol for handling breakouts does not require a separate category of products; the treatment basics remain the same.

The Adventures of Megan Martin - The Medallion Mystery

Featured Book
The Secret in Phantom Forest
by TJ Perkins
Miss Good's home had for years now held a special warmth and care.
T'was plain to see that drab Marie
And six small boys, with all their toys,
Were more than happy there.
But Katie had for months now, ruled the house with all her force;
By making fun of everyone,
Or being mean through plot and scheme
And showing no remorse.
The boys, Kate felt, were noisy and disturbed her beauty sleep.
"A bruise or cut is best to shut
A yacking lip!" she'd fondly quip,
Then slap each little creep.
The rest of all her cruelty was aimed at poor Marie.
Her high-toned pitch would screech, "You bitch!
"You're much too gross to stand so close.
"Now, get away from me!"
Yet, when her days were empty and poor Kate was feeling bad,
Marie was kind, only to find
When she was down, Kate turned around
And made her twice as sad.
And so the torment lasted till one night Miss Good came home;
Her face was flushed, her pace was rushed.
She caught her wind, sat down and grinned,
"Dear Kate, you're going home!"
"What ?" exclaimed the others, "Oh , that's lovely!" cried Marie.
"I'm happy, dear!" "Good grief! Look here,
"You little snot, it's clear you're not!
"You're filled with jealousy!"
"Enough!" cried old Miss Good. "I saw a sign in town tonight.
"A girl's been lost, and at all cost
They want the child." And here Kate smiled,
"That must be me, alright!"
"It claimed the girl's a beauty; her perfection stands alone."
Marie burst in, "I know it then.
"Oh, Kate, it's true ! The girl is you!
"Your family wants you home!"
Embracing her, Marie now cried, with feeling most sincere,
"We love you Kate, and I shall hate
To see you go." Kate breathed, "Oh, no!
"You've made me make-up smear!
"Now, c'mon, Good, out with the rest. When can I leave this place?"
"I'm not sure yet, Kate, nothing's set;
You'll go by bus, but --- none of us —"
"Can pay?! That's a disgrace!
"I've stayed and helped and all I get's a measly little, 'Thanks'?!"
Her anger burned, but when she turned,
She found they'd sought, and to her brought
Their loaded piggy-banks.
"Take this money," sniffed Marie, "I'm sure it's quite enough.
"And I'll go too to make sure you
"Arrive alright and reunite;
"The city's awfully rough!"
"Well, that's more like it," Kate agreed. "There's no more to be said.
"Tomorrow noon we'll start, and soon
I'll leave this slum for dad and mum,
And sleep in my own bed!"

Recommendation for heirloom pole wax bean
My husband loves wax beans, and I like to grow my beans on poles.
It seems that the options for varieties are limited.
Do people have recommendations for especially tasty and productive varieties of pole wax beans?
The last two years, I grew Yellow Anellino (Giallo G Rosso), from Rohrer's Seeds. They import them for an European seedhouse. The beans are small and curled, with very good flavor. This year I'm trying Neckargold and Gold Marie Vining.
Rohrer's Seeds address is:
Rohrer's Seeds
P.O. Box 250
Smoketown PA 17576
I have an heirloom wax pole bean called Barksdale. We got it from my wife's grandparents in 1983, who got it from a great aunt years before. They all lived in and around Salem, Illinois. Someone in Seed Savers once sent me a photo copy of an article (I think it was Beans of New York) on the Andalusia Wax Pole Bean, which sounded a lot like this bean. However the seed of Barksdale is longer than wide and Andalusia was supposedly almost as wide as long. Barksdale is an excellent late pole bean, but doesn't germinate well in the heat. Also, during the hot dry time of the summer its pollen appears to die without setting beans. But when cooler nights come and it gets going and it produces LOTS of tender, flat, stringless snaps. A couple of vines of this bean supplies all our familyÂs demand for snaps, just late in the season. Barksdale has white seed. Large flat pods 7 inches long and slightly over ½ inch wide.
Barksdale is available through the Seed Savers Exchange. I, of course, have seed and would be willing to send you a sample.
It's said that for every bush variety there is a pole analog, and vice versa. This doesn't seem to hold true for wax beans, though, as bush varieties outnumber pole types by about three to one. Even so, there are some good ones. Here are two heirlooms you might find appealing:
Corkey is a great tasting, prolific heirloom wax bean originally from West Virginia.
White Hull Pink Tip--a Tennessee heirloom---is one of the prettiest beans you can grow. They start out wax-bean yellow. Then the hulls turn white, with pink tips. The pink follows the zipper string, spilling into the hollows between the filled-out beans.
Unfortunately, it's a bit on the tough side, and makes a better canner than a fresh snap bean.
Both of these are available through the Appalachian Heirloom Seed Conservancy.

Iceberg Twice The Size Of Manhattan Breaks Off Glacier In Greenland
Originally published on Wed July 18, 2012 11:30 am
A huge iceberg that's about twice the size of Manhattan has broken off the Petermann Glacier in Greenland — the same sheet of ice that just two years ago "calved" another massive berg.
"It's dramatic. It's disturbing," University of Delaware professor Andreas Muenchow, tells The Associated Press. "We have data for 150 years and we see changes that we have not seen before. ... It's one of the manifestations that Greenland is changing very fast."
Satellite images taken by NASA on Monday and Tuesday confirm the news. We've taken three to show the break. Look to the area inside the small squares we've drawn on the images.
The AP adds that:
"Many of Greenland's southern glaciers have been melting at an unusually rapid pace. The Petermann break brings large ice loss much farther north than in the past, said Ted Scambos, lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo.
"If it continues, and more of the Petermann is lost, the melting would push up sea levels, he said. The ice lost so far was already floating, so the breaks don't add to global sea levels."
The iceberg that broke off in 2010 "headed north, then west and last year started landing in Newfoundland," AP says.
The Artic Sea Ice Blog has posted video taken in June 2011 of some of that iceberg's chunks.

Very Preliminary Plans Please Critique
We received this plan from our builder and are taking a few days to mull it over before we meet with him. We have never built, and are so excited to begin the process. We do not have kids and are hoping that we will be in this house for a very long time to come. I am only posting the main floor, but we will have a second story. My main concerns with this plan:
1. Will the kitchen get enough natural light, and I always dreamed of having my sink at a window.
2. Was hoping for the laundry area to be closer to the master bedroom.
3. Will the covered porch kill our natural light in the entry?
Thank you so much in advance for anyone willing to comment. We want to make informed, wise decisions and your help is greatly appreciated!
Do you plan to have kids?
It seems like a really large house for two people. And I think your concerns about natural light in the kitchen and entry are well-founded. I would turn off the lights and stand 13-20' from a window to see how much natural light there is. I live in the sunlight deprived upper Midwest, so it might work ok in your area, but it probably won't be too sunny.
How did you come to choose this plan? It seems like it should be possible to design a house for 2 people that has the laundry where you want it and window in the kitchen.
Thank you for your response! As I said, it was a very preliminary plan where we basically talked to our builder about major wants and he went from there. We have also had some concerns about the size, as we may not have kids in the future. We want the home to function well and I just want a place for everything:) We have always lived in older homes with very little storage, so that is a priority. We are also in the upper Midwest, so I appreciate you suggesting what you did regarding natural light. Thank you again!
There are porches on both sides of the great room so the potential is for the light not to penetrate to the middle of the house at certain times of year, I would think.
This is also a complex plan, which in turn, requires a complex roofline. Roofing materials and membranes have gotten better but I think with lots of valleys in roof, which generally are related to inside corners, there may be more areas for leaks to develop.
The simplest house needs only 4 exterior corners, I count 23 corners, about 9 of which are inside corners around the perimeter.
palimpsest: We do like the idea of having a back porch and have also considered a pool in the future. I am just thinking out loud, because I admit I am so new at this, but do you think having less of an overhang on the rear porch or moving it would be a better solution? I honestly wouldn't mind not having it if we were going for the pool, then maybe we would be able to eliminate the corners created by that porch.
Thanks so much for your thoughts!
I think it has a great deal of wasted space. The entryway is a "just for show" area . . . then the stairs, which are a space-hogging U-shape, take up more space in the back. The master bath has a big empty space in the middle.
I do agree that your kitchen is oriented away from the natural light; that's going to be a big deal.
Truthfully, I'd keep looking.
I assumed you were building in the South-- that looks like a Southern style plan to me. The big porches, no coat closet in the front entry, no basement stairs...
I'm a little sensitive to the issue of natural light because our last house had only Southern and Northern facing windows, and all the Southern facing windows were heavily shaded.
Your plan has lots of storage? Mine's all windows, LOL!
But I would keep looking too-- I think you can do better than this.
I'll take a different approach from the comments above, but I'll arrive at close to the same place:
--I think the plan is well zoned and organized by its various functions--sleeping is on the right, living is in the center and service/support is on the left;
--Chances are the interior spaces are truly impressive and well thought out, one to another--finally a stock plan with a great room that is really Great;
--For two people, this plan is huge--the rooms are huge, the construction cost will likely be huge as will the mortgage. Cost to build, operate, maintain will likely be high. Hope you plan on a regular house cleaning service.
--You don't indicate orientation of the plan on your site, but assuming south is the side with the large covered porch, it will definitely block any direct natural light from entering and act as a sort of "dark tunnel" for views from the Great Room. Any other orientation will be a failure. Unless flying bugs are a problem in your area, you would be much better served by substituting a pergola on the south elevation, designed specifically for your site's latitude which would preclude direct Summer sun, but allow Winter sun to penetrate into the Great Room.
--Interior kitchens are always darker than rooms with windows. This can be mitigated to an extent by using light colors and materials throughout the kitchen (no stained walnut or cherry cabinets if you want it to be a "light" kitchen);
--This is not a plan where the laundry can be relocated to the bedroom side of the house and still maintain the "clean" organization of bedrooms and bath. On the other hand, if aesthetics aren't important and you have enough money, then anything can be relocated anywhere.
Bottom line: this has the potential to be a very impressive house if you don't mess with the plan too much, but it also has the potential to be a very excessive (and expensive) house. Hope this helps.
Good luck with your project!
Virgil: Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post. We are incredibly new to this and appreciate any knowledge people care to share! When we received the plan, we also thought it was quite large for us, especially having a second floor, as well. We have had so long to think about the possibility of building that it gets overwhelming when trying to come up with the "perfect" plan.
I like your idea of a pergola and hadn't thought about it previously, so thank you for pointing that out. I had dreamed of a kitchen on the corner of the home to get as much natural light as possible, but I just don't know how to achieve that with the garage placement.
Thanks also for the reminder that anything can be achieved if you have the money to do it! That sure keeps things in perspective:)

Up early this morning for another drive day. There was no more snow overnight, so the stuff that had melted was now frozen solid on the pavements and gravel, making everything incredibly slippery. All of the low clouds were gone, so we got to fully see where we were, nestled at the bottom of the most gigantic valley I've ever seen. We were surrounded by the most breathtakingly enormous mountains for the first part ...
Allora (it's my favourite Italian word!)
... 2 young women who arrived at the same time also took loads of photos, but of themselves! There is so much posing, checking, reposing and retaking; I wonder if they have any photos of anything but themselves?!
A large open air market is held every Tuesday in Florence. The market is about 1km in length and sells everything that a Florence housewife (that's what the info says!) needs. Locals and tourists alike visit the market for food, but also ...

... soon back on the bus, exhausted. We had walked our little legs off; we had seen il Duomo 3 times, Neptune and David three times and Ponte Vecchio twice. Luckily Florence is such a compact city it can be done easily; just not so easily in this heat. I have now downloaded Dan Brown's Inferno book for Tegz to read as this is set in Florence. I'm looking forward to reading her blog to see if she has fallen in love with Firenze as much as ...
Bird's-eye view of Florence
... Michelangelo's famous statue of David. The views from this vantage point are as impressive as those from San Miniato, and it draws large crowds of tourists both day and night.
Shortly after we continued our descent, we stumbled (quite by accident) into the Giardino delle Rose (the city's Rose Garden), a beautifully landscaped area spread over an acre of sloping terraces, with interesting sculptures ...
