Mimosa seed
I have planted some Mimosa seed that were taken from a tree that was growing in the wild. All the seeds came up, there were eight of them. They are now about 1-2 inches tall and look healthy. I have them in 1 gallon pots, two in each pot. Can someone tell me if I should fertilize them or just let them grow as is? Should I spray them for insects?I used potting soil without adding anything at all to the soil. I really want them to grow and don't want to hinder their growth at all. I don't want to get too aggresive and do things that I should not do to them. Does Mimosa roots grow deep or spread out. I live in South Louisiana. All the Mimosa trees here died a good many years ago from a disease, they are just now coming back. Thanks for your help.
Hi heartsy,
Do you know that Mimosa, If I'm correct-that you mean Albizia julibrissin, is not native to the U. S., but Japan, and is currently on our invasive lists? You may want to consider putting your creative energy into a different seed starting project.
Here is a link that might be useful: Albizia julibrissin
I see that both of you are in zones warmer than mine, and I am sure that you meant that Albizia Julibrissin is listed in your particular locales. In cooler zones like 5, where I live, they are not invasive. The seedlings can't survive the winter in 5 and north. They are somewhat of a curiosity in West Michigan, and I would HIGHLY suggest them for anyone that lives in an area where they aren't listed as invasive. I just wanted anyone considering these wonderful trees to know that they aren't pests everywhere.
outnproud, I think anyone that does enough research on what they choose to plant should be able to figure that out. And people should do research on their choices - it is easy enough, for one thing, to Google the plant name, the word invasive and the name of the state - for example "Georgia mimosa tree invasive". Read through some of the links returned for your search and make your decision (some of the links can be misleading as they might be saying it is not invasive, so you have to read the links).
Obviously the point of paula's response was that this is a native forum and the original post was about a non-native (and invasive in the original poster's location) plant.

The case for stocks
No matter what the short term brings, stocks may offer long-term growth potential.
Video report: Why equities
Fidelity portfolio managers weigh in on the stock rally, the strategic case for equities, and where they are finding opportunities. Watch the videos.
The S&P 500® Index has posted dramatic gains since its March 2009 low. But now, with a bull market more than five years old and valuations up significantly, many are wondering if the best times have passed.
No one knows what will happen in the short term. But the reality is that stocks have proven their ability to provide investors with growth potential over the long term. And with rising costs and longer lives, most of us will likely need portfolio growth to meet our financial needs. So, take a minute to weigh some fundamental, technical, and strategic reasons to consider the role stocks play in your portfolio.

EUR climbed up last week and even reached 1.1000 but quickly dropped back. The pair is now supported on Daily at 1.0790, however Daily and H4 indicators point to the downside and it seems for now the pair does not have anough power to break the 1.1000 resistance. So all eyes are now at the support area 1.0810-1.0790, breaking of this will test 1.0660 and 1.0520. Today we shall have the Germany's CPI and some not so important data from the USA. If the economic data from Germany is positive…Continue

Yesterday saw the market use the13 day average as a platform for further gains. This resulted in a 2nd up day in a row and the most positive close for 12 days. Intraday signals are at overbought extremes but although that does add a note of caution profit taking setbacks are currently temporary and limited with scope to 1.0975 and 1.0992.

Dollar has made some pullback after last week's mrs.Yellen's speech and gave other currencies some fresh air. However the recovery is just too small to change the bearish outlook across the markets. Most of the pairs are currently stuck at the resistance levels and need some fundamental data to break them or bounce back to the downside. Later today mr.Draghi speaks, and EU's economic sentiment index will be released may be these two will push the EUR to the downside again, but not so strong.…Continue

Confirming the weakness of the rally from January's low point, selling pressure deepened last week. A 3rd down week in a row took EURUSD to the lowest levels traded since 2003. Oversold extremes remain a concern but last week's price action saw profit taking remain temporary and limited. In addition the market continues to track the lower end of falling daily & weekly Keltner channels and so, allowing for a reaction to oversold extremes, we look for the downside to continue to develop …Continue

EUR has lost 1.1000 support last week and then dropped for another 500 pips. So we are now another step closer to parity. The pair is bearish on all time frames except H1, where it is trying to consolidate and to build support around 1.0500. It will be difficult today, but tomorrow we have the ZEW data from Germany and if it is better as expected this may help the EUR to clumb up to 1.0650 and 1.0690. but for now we remain bearish with support 1.0460. However the recovery can be quite short…Continue

A sequence of 3 down days ended yesterday despite a marginally new 12 year low. There was little net movement for EURUSD as prices consolidated rather than continue selling pressure or attract significant profit taking. However, Asian price action has seen a renewal of the downside – a move that keeps prices hugging the lower end of a declining Keltner channel with scope for further downside to 1.0767 and 1.0735.The risk is…Continue

EUR dropped heavily last week and is now trading far below 1.1000. Current conditions show the pair is extremely bearish with no signs of correction higher. Indicators on all time frames are bearish and the pair is going to drop further. It has reached some support area between 1.0800 and 1.0830 which probably will stop further downside for now and the pair may also recover a bit to 1.0900 till Thursday, when i expect another downside and breaking the 1.0830 support.

Wednesday's decline extended yesterday. This move took EURUSD to new 12 year lows and maintained a hugging of the lower end of a falling Keltner channel. However with intraday sentiment oversold, the lows were not held and, coupled with positive divergence in Momentum indicators, the immediate outlook is counter trend bullish with potential to 1.1051 and 1.1085.…Continue

Volatile trading in the European afternoon yesterday. An initial gradual improvement, building upon Tuesday's downside rejection reversed. The subsequent decline of more than 1 big figure was aggressive and resulted in a 2nd down day in a row and a close below the 13 day average. Despite an Asian bounce, this leaves intraday signals for sentiment negative with scope to 1.2414 and 1.2385.…Continue

After last month's EUR pullback seems that the EU currency is ready to go south for another wave. The pair has lost 1.1200 level again and is currently trading below, with no signs for any upside for now. indicators on almost all timeframes are bearish which tells me that soon we are going to 1.1100 and below. Daily resistance here is at 1.1350 and only above that we may hope for further recovery. The pair is bearish below 1.1300 on Daily any price below this level will be used to open fresh…Continue

Yesterday saw the negative sentiment highlighted by Tuesday's Inverted Hammer extend. A 2nd down day in a row cemented prices beneath that 13 day moving average. The scope of the turn in USDCAD means sentiment is oversold but currently there is no sign of anything other than temporary intraday rallies with potential through 1.2402 to 1.2361 and 1.2328.…Continue

Initial price action Monday continued the setback from last week's top. But this downside was, expectedly, temporary and found fresh demand near the key 13 day moving average. This resulted in strong buying that produced the highest closing level of the month. Asian trading has seen a modest reactive move but sentiment is positive with potential to 1.5481 and 1.5519.
The risk level is below 1.5398.…Continue

EUR remains in consolidation despite the sudden Friday volatility on Greek financial conditions agreement. H4 and Daily indicators are flat and give no information for the future, while Weekly ones seem to point to the upside. Today Germany's IFO data will be released and it is expected to be better than previous so this will be in favor of the upside movement. It is good to know that at 1.1660 we have a quite strong resistance and breaking above will be very hard. So for now i think that…Continue

EURUSD continues to fluctuate around the 13 day average. Initial trading yesterday reversed Tuesday's gains but in late price action the bulk of this downside was regained. Limited net movement means signals for sentiment cannot be strong but the downside rejection coupled with demand in Asia above the average means studies are positive with potential through 1.1449 to 1.1487.…Continue

A trend of higher weekly CABLE lows which have been posted since January's 18 month base at 1.4951 and a weekly close above the 13 day average rate kept last week's signals pointing higher. These were confirmed as the sequence of higher weekly lows has been extended to 3 and with gains of almost 2 Big Figs. There is no sign that the demand to buy dips is ending so we continue to look to the topside with potential to 1.5560 or even 1.5621.…Continue

EUR has stabilized the price above 1.1300 and seems ready to start recovery to the upside this week. Economic data that is going to be released is expected to support the upside movements too. First support comes at 1.1405 above this one we are bullish and the target is 1.1450-1.1475-1.1495-1.1530. Above the last comes the first significant resistance area between 1.1545 and 1.1575.

After 3 days of consolidation/limited net movement buying interest was attracted to EURUSD yesterday. This took prices to test the key 13 day moving average and although that point was not clearly breached, the underlying positive tone has been reinforced by Asian demand this morning with potential to retest this month's highs in the coming days.
Intraday targets are 1.1458 and 1.1487 with a risk of 1.1371.…Continue

Against a background of positive signals for sentiment for this week, yesterday saw a return of buying interest. After 2 days of decline the trend defining 13 day moving average was untested and buyers emerged around the 1.5200 level. Monday's net fall was regained but the highs were not maintained and Asia has attracted some further downside. Nonetheless, temporarily and cautiously, sentiment is assessed as positive and so our call is Cautiously Bullish while above 1.5197, yesterday's low.…Continue

"Everything about this wedding invite was perfect to me. It is simple and elegant. I got it on the pearl shimmer paper, and it came out beautifully. Not sparkly, but just a little hint of shimmer in the design. I am having an outdoor wedding, and I think the design fits with that style wedding. Also, it shipped SO quickly. I got these in the mail less than a week after I placed the original order. So happy with every WPD order I've placed!"
"This set is SO much more gorgeous in person than the pictures online. We absolutely love our invitations. The service was great, they were printed and delivered quickly, and I would buy them again in a heart beat!"
"It was easy to personalize. I love the choices of fonts. The quality of the paper and printing is GREAT. And the fact that I got an email confirmation on how it would look before our invitations get printed is awesome! Especially because we customized it for our own. I don't normally write reviews but I had to do it for this one because my fiance and I were simply amazed. The style is simple yet classic and chic at the same time. Delivery was fast too, I ordered it on Monday, got the confirmation on Wednesday and received the shipment on Friday!"
"Service was incredibly fast, from my design request right up to my shipping. The invitations blew my expectations out if the water! I have recommended to friends and will order again! Easy to input, all request were done exactly like I wanted and the paper quality was excellent!"
"I have now ordered my save the dates as well as invites from Wedding Paper Divas and we absolutely LOVE them! They look amazing and the process to get them is awesome. I love seeing them and designing them before I order them. GREAT company and will use them again!"

Butler's Door
I have a Colonial Revival, built in 1922. The kitchen was redone inexpensively sometime in the past, and I am going to re-redo it in the spring. I'm putting in marmoleum floors, soapstone counters and subway tile with oak cabinets. I'm pretty sure that the original kitchen was unfitted; I'm not going to go that far in restoration, but I want the kitchen to be period-appropriate.
The door to the dining room is a folding louvered door which is screamingly anachronistic. Since every doorway in this house had a door at one time (many have been removed and are stacked in the basement), I'm almost certain that the kitchen-dining room door was a swinging butler's door. All of the other doorways from which doors were removed still have hinges on the woodwork and strikeplates for the latches, but this doorway has unmarred woodwork, and signs in the floor that the mechanism for the swinging door was there at one time and had been removed. Sadly, the doors in the basement all have hinges and doorknobs; not one swinging door in the bunch, so apparently it was discarded when it was removed.
The contractor who is doing my kitchen agrees with me that it's almost certain that a swinging butler's door used to be there and feels that it would be a simple matter to put one back in. We have a friendly disagreement, though, about whether or not there would have been a window in the door. My mind's eye sees a square, rotated 45 degrees so it's oriented like a diamond. Or an oval, perhaps, oriented with the long axis up. My designer feels that there would not have been a window. I know that my dining room never had a bell or buzzer under the table to let the maid know when to bring in the next course, so it's my contention that she had to be able to monitor the progress of the meal through the window. (Can you tell we're having a lot of fun with this?)
Anyway, what's your best guess? Window? No window? What shape? Stupid idea all around? What?
I don't think it would have had a window, but that's because I haven't seen any. We had a house built in 1923 once, one door from the dining room into the kitchen, another door into the breakfast room. I think both swung.
Part of the problem with a window in a kitchen door was that though the cook could see if the diners were ready for the next course, the guests could also see into the kitchen when they entered the dining room.
She could have used that tinkly bell, you know. The little silver one on the dining table.
Ah, yes, the tinkly bell on the silver salver. Try saying that three times, real fast! :-D
I saw a swinging door with a window in a house on our local landmark society's housewalk last spring. Of course, that means absolutely nothing about the authenticity of the door. The window, however, was at about face-height, and fairly small, so you'd have to be trying to look through it to see much, so I think the view of the kitchen would not have been a problem for guests unless they were standing exactly in front of the door.
And I'm remembering restaurants in NYC with two swinging doors (one into and one out of the kitchen) with windows, but considering that there was constant traffic in and out, one waiter after another, you'd almost have to have a window to avoid collisions.
Anyone else? I guess I can have whatever I want in the end. I'd just like to have some basis for my decision.
Thanks, Kennebunker!
I've a 1830's Federal Style home. Last update of any significance was done in the 1920's. There is a swinging Butlers door from my dining room to the kitchen. It does not have a window.
My guess is the lady of the house used a handbell set at her place to call in the staff when needed.
HA! We went to the annual winetasting party tonight. The whole block is invited (all of us live in homes built in the '20s and '30s) to go through about 5 or 6 volunteer homes for a progressive wine tasting and munchy party. It's always great fun, especially since we get to see inside some of the great old houses on this street. One of the houses had a swinging butler's door, and it had a diamond-shaped window in it! Ah, sweet vindication!
So. A window it is. I know that there is precedent for it in our development, it matches the age and the style of the house... Full steam ahead!
I have recently been in contact with a woman who grew up in my house; her parents owned it for over 30 years. There was indeed a swinging door between the kitchen and dining room, and it had a triangular window in it! I don't know if it was point-up or point-down, but there you go!
I wonder if she has a picture.
vjrnts, did you get your door with a window installed? And did you go for diamond or triangular? The home I grew up in was built in the 1940s and had a swinging door between the kitchen and dining room. It had a circular window.
We are looking at a 1938 Craftsman bungalow that has a swinging door (much to my delight - I always wanted one as a kid for some reason, hadn't thought of it in years, and then last night on our 3rd look-through of this house noticed it) and original floors in the dining room. No window in the door, no bell in the floor. Seems to me like the door is there to block the view of the kitchen so a window would defeat the purpose - plus it would only solve the no-bell problem if the servent were glued to the window and therefor not getting any kitchen work done. makes more sense in a restaurant where you'd have the collision problem.
I don't know if a window could be authentic. Just because you find a door with one doesn't mean it wasn't added later you know? Personally I wouldn't want one as I have worked in food service and it would seem too resauranty to me - but you do want one. :-) Since it seems like you're making a new door anyway it's not like you're destroying an original by adding a window. If you want to resell the house it seems like a new door with a window wouldn't be any worse than a new door without a window since it's already not original - it could be make period correct without making it any less original.
Does that make sense to anyone but me?
You could also look for an old door with a window but like I said the window could have been added at any time so it may or may not be authentic anyway.
The kitchen in my 1920 Dutch Colonial Revival was at one time equipped with two swinging doors. One lead to the dining room, and is currently missing in action. You can see where the door jamb was mortised for the spring mechanism and hinges. The second swinging door is adjacent to the side exit door and leads down to a landing that directs you down the basement. This door still exists with it's original hardware and has no window.
FWIW- our house (across from vjrnt's) still has an original swinging door with no window. I don't think there was ever a floor bell (though other houses in the neighborhood have them). There may have been a pantry with 2 doors (one to the kitchen and one to the dining room), one of which is in the basement after a late 1990's kitchen remodel. I was there for vjrnt's eureka moment at the house with the diamond shaped window- which looked original. Since this was the last house on the tour I also recall having had a lot of wine- so maybe it really was square. I'd be inclined to believe the prior owner (who recalled a triangular shaped window). Maybe it was there so the butler didn't knock over the maid.
No. I haven't got my door yet; there are a lot of things in the priority list that are higher. But I'd sure love to have it. This house is going to be unbelievably great by the time they carry me out of it!
But Mikend is right. I'll believe the former occupant of the house and if I have a door built, it will have a window.
And Mikend, I'll bet that door at Joe and Lucy's house is original. They've lived there for 50 years!
When I said just because you find one with a window it doesn't mean it wasn't added later... I mean the door might be original, but the window hole was added some time after the door's initial installation. Maybe to prevent collisions. Or to keep an eye on the help.
Or because the owner of the house was eccentric and fancied a window in the door. :-D
Enjoy your door, when you get around to it. :-)

Analysis and Synthesis of Room Reverberation Based on a Statistical Time-Frequency Model
This paper reviews and develops a statistical time-frequency model of late reverberation decays, as well as an associated analysis procedure for deriving the "Time Frequency Envelope" of the reverberation from a measured impulse response, based on the notion of "Energy Decay Relief." The models and techniques described are applied to the in situ measurement of diffuse-field HRTFs, characterization and equalization of transducers in diffuse fields, and artificial reverberation and distance control in virtual auditory displays.

I am reading log files that have been compressed with gzip in a php script. Nothing is missing from the text, but all of the instances of multiple spaces have been reduced to a single space.
Here is an example of the output:
| Exit Status : 1 |
When it should have looked like this:
| Exit Status : 1 |
Here is the relevant part of the script I think:
$lines = gzfile("$filename.gz");
# If the file is empty, say that to be more user friendly
if($lines == "") {
echo "File empty";
} else {
echo "
";
foreach ($lines as $line) {
echo nl2br($line);
echo "
";
I also tried it without nl2br, just as a test, and the spaces were still reduced to one. The file is intact as I viewed it with zcat in a terminal just to be sure something hadn't actually written the file incorrectly. Any ideas?

first time bud, but problems???
I have my first orchid that is about to bloom (I hope). It is a phalaenopsis. This bloom has been the same size for several weeks. The bud is about the size of an almond in the shell. Is there something wrong? Do buds usually take this long to bloom? Do I need to do something differently to make it finish blooming?
thanks for any help,
Hi,congratulation on getting your first orchid,orchids are slow growers and therefore require patients,once the plant is healthy and getting enough sun,water and fertilizer it will eventually bloom,I have had phals send out a spike stop,and sent out a different spike which grows bloom and then the first spike then finish grows and then blooms,so don't worry just continue to cear your plant,I hopes this makes you feel better,happy growing,maybe a senior member could also shead some light.
I recently had my first chute and blooms for a phal! I was a little disappointed myself when I first got it it had 6-7 flowers but only 3 this time.... Got on the google and learned there is a bloom booster fertilizer for once A month use and will be starting that upon the flowers exit. The bud size was similar in the almond size but it opens up I am attaching a pic for you! It is kept outside.

Have you ever tried to control the shape of a curved form in the Family Editor? If so, you know that flexing them sometimes throws you a curve ball. In this course, Paul F. Aubin explores several techniques to tame your unruly parametric curves. This includes examples of circles, arcs, arches, splines, and even complex curves like cyma moldings. The real power comes in with formulas, profile families, and proportions, which allow you to mathematically control your curves. At the end of this course, we can't guarantee you'll never have misbehaving curves, but we'll give you several useful tools to help tame them.
We've talked about creating seed families quite a bit in the course so far. And in the last movie we created a segmental arch. Well once you have a segmental arch, it could actually become the seed for other shapes of arches. So the segmental could easily become a Roman arch or a Moorish arch just by varying the parameters inside that file. So, in this movie, let's take a look at how we can do that. So, I've got a file here called Segmental and it's just the endpoint from where we left off in the end of the last movie.
What we can do is take this and save it as and give it a name as either Roman or Moorish and then just simply vary the settings. So you can do a save as, as a family. Put it on my desktop. I'll call it Roman. And now all I have to do is go to family types and I'll flex it first. So I'm going to take the height, and I'll make it 1, because the width is 2. Let's apply that. In order to get a Roman arch you just need the height to be half the width. Now if you just want to ensure that it stays that way, we can put a formula over here.
So I'm going to take the formula column next to h, and simply put in w divided by 2. You could just as easily put a formula here. H times 2, but don't put both. So, it's really up to you. They're both going to do the same thing. H times 2, that's just the star key. Either one will do the trick. And now, if you apply that, nothing will change, because I haven't changed the numbers, let's try a different number. Let's try 3 for the width, click apply, notice that will make the height 1 in a half.
Try .75 for the height, click apply, that'll make the width 1 in a half, and so, they really can't get out of sync because of the formula, and again, whether you put the height times 2, or the width divided by 2, you'll get the same result. So that gives you your Roman arch. If you save it again, for your moorish example, now the trick is to make sure that the height is actually larger than the width. So if you make it larger, what'll start to happen is it will push it up above that top point where we're at right now.
And it will start to make the arch sort of bulge out a little bit. So let me remove the formula and let me take the height here and I'm going to make that 2 and click apply. And do you see how that starts to balloon the arch out. Now 2 is probably getting to be close to the upper limit. At some point this might fail, if you put in numbers that are too extreme. Because, you have to remember that at some point it still needs to create an arc. So, we're still working within the limitations of a circle here. So, you know, if you put in 17 here, I doubt that that would work.
But, you have to, you know, kind of keep that in mind. But, if you want to, you could actually build a formula to describe what proportion you are after. So if you had a certain proportion in mind between the width and the height then you can put that in the formula. Again using either division or multiplication. But in this case I'm just going to sort of flex it manually here. So what about 1.75? You can see that it makes it a little shallower but you get the general idea. So if we make the height larger than the width we get a moorish shape.
If we make the height less than the width, we get a segmental. If we make it exactly half, we get a Roman arch. So, one single approach, one single family, can actually become three very different shapes of arches.

Isabel was a excellent host, with a fantastic apartment. Located in Chinatown it is a short walk to good restaurants and little Italy. (Dumpling place that does 4 dumplings for a $1 around the corner).
The apartment is very clean and quite spacious.
As the information and other reviews state: there is no bathroom only a bath, also access to the bed is via a ladder. This was not an issue for us though.
The apartment is well located in Chinatown and the area is safe, even late in the night. Surrounded by a lot of restaurants and shops, including a Deli below the building open 24/7. The loft is exactly as described by Isabel and staying there has been great for a week stay in NYC. Bathrooms are really across the hallway and were always clean. The bathtube is better and bigger than it seems on the photos. Isabel has been always very attentious and gentle during our communication and has made all the arrangements for our arriving and leaving. Highly recommended.
El apartamento está ubicado en buena zona y el metro Canal st conecta con muchas líneas de metro. Zona tranquila y apartamento limpio y
luminoso. Isabel estuvo en co.tacto con nosotras durante todo el viaje.
Nice apartment in a nice zone, have everything you need except restrooms/toilets, but it is in the other side of the hall, 1 metre total distance and very clean.
Recomend!!! Isabel it is a very approachable person.
Thank You!!!
Big, comfortable, and sun-filled apartment. Isabel was very friendly and easy to get in touch with. But WARNING: there is no shower available (in the unit or in the shared bathroom), which I did not realize. And the shared bathroom does not have hot water, soap, or paper towels.
Thank you Jesse for pointing out that the restrooms/toilets are in the hallway and don't offer a shared shower.
My apartment however does offer a bathtub and kitchen sink, hot water, clean towels, soap, shampoo:)
(as can be seen in the pictures and stated in my description)
please kindly ask me any questions you may have about the bathtub and or my apartment.
thank you!
Isabel was super easy to communicate with even though she was in Germany! Met a couple of her friends / neighbors who dropped me off the keys. Place was rad. Super minimal. Took a bath. Comfy bed. Would stay there again for sure.
We had the best experience staying at Isabel's. An ideal apartment super clean and yet functional. Definitely recommend and I will for sure use it again in the future.
Excellent accessibility to the metro and bus stops and very well located. Only 10 minutes from Times Square using the subway.
Wonderful experience with Isabel, she was always helpful and resolved all doubts.
The best choice!
I LOVED staying at Isabel's unique and light filled loft space! It's got a great feel to it and the 12 foot ceilings feel a LOT higher than that (they feel like 20!) making the space feel open and with a great flow. It's so good to have an elevator, as I wouldn't want to tackle four flights of stairs, and there's a view of the new World Trade Center from her window. Chinatown is a great neighborhood and a new discovery for me. Two things to take into account before booking - the ladder to the bedroom space is very steep and definitely not for anyone older or with a fear of heights. And the toilets are out in the hallway, but I thought that was kind of fun. The bed is very comfortable and taking a bath on the raised platform is a real treat and something I'll miss. The deli downstairs has a great selection of healthy and gourmet snacks and the F, B and D subway lines are within a minute's walk. Highly recommend!
Great value, great host, great location, would gladly stay at Isabel's again!
Yes the bathroom / showering situation is unique, but it took very little time to get used to and the bathroom was always clean.
Isabel was a great host. Location was perfect!
Isabel is a great guest. Very easy to reach, trustworthy and organized
Isabel is a very nice and interesting person, clean, tidy and respectful. I would recommend her 100%! She also does photography, I forgot to ask where I can check out some of your work? :)
i met isabel 15 years ago here in new york and we have been close friends for all that time. she is one of the most constant and reliable friends i have. isabel is one of the people you hope to come across when renting on airbnb!
I've known Isabel for about 7 years now and along with being a talented photographer, she is an amazing friend. I've stayed at her place many times and love spending time at her loft! She has a great minimal style and there is a lot of open space in her light-filled apartment. Isabel is a reliable, genuine person who is often one of the first to try to help out her friends.

Day Fifteen ( Barcelona by Bus)
... and informative day. I floated the idea of a ride back into town to enable her to experience a different part of this city so we did just that getting the metro back and rising from the depths into a bustling area I'd not seen before. A quick drink and bite energised us for a minor ramble into the a gothic section where we located a wonderful lil cafe/bar for a more extensive proper meal of pinxtos before returning back to the hotel pleasantly wearied by another wonderful taste of ...

Stanislaus, Merced sheriffs weigh changes in immigration hold policies
San Joaquin County this week joined a growing list of law enforcement agencies that won't hold inmates just because they are in the country illegally.
"Effective immediately, all inmates currently being held solely on an immigration detainer will be released from custody," Sheriff Steve Moore said in an "interim directive" released by his department. "No inmate will be held on an immigration detainer once they are eligible for release. This does not include inmates with pending criminal charges that would normally be held for criminal proceedings."
Sheriffs in Stanislaus and Merced counties said they are considering changes to their practices but have not yet made any.
For several years, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement detainers have been a key tool in a controversial federal immigration enforcement program known as Secure Communities. The program was an effort to target undocumented immigrants who had committed serious or violent crimes.
The program, which taps into extensive databases with the Department of Homeland Security, attempts to identify immigrants who may be in the country illegally. When these immigrants pass through local jails, they trigger a request for an ICE detainer.
Immigration attorneys and advocates argued that the program was overreaching because it was landing many immigrants who had committed minor or no offenses in deportation proceedings. In some cases, U.S. citizens were being detained.
In response to such criticism, California last year passed the Trust Act, which requires that immigrants in the country illegally be charged with or convicted of a serious offense to be eligible for a 48-hour hold and transfer to U.S. immigration authorities for possible deportation.
Federal officials have consistently warned that the holds are not voluntary and that local officials are mandated to honor them.
But the courts recently rejected that position. A recent federal ruling found immigration holds are not mandated and that holding someone beyond his or her release date once local charges have been resolved could potentially violate an individual's civil rights.
Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said while the relationship with ICE agents locally has been good, his office has been frustrated seeking assistance from the federal agency.
"We think a reasonable solution would be to have a judge review a probable cause declaration for anyone being held on an immigration detainer, just as we do for anyone being held on criminal charges," he said in an email.
In Merced County, Sheriff Tom Cavallero said the matter has been under discussion, with another meeting about the subject set next week. "(It's) business as usual for now, though," he said.
Christianson also faulted the Trust Act, calling it a failure that "allows dangerous criminals to be released back into our community." He said his office is working with County Counsel John Doering to determine what, if any, policy changes should be made.
The sheriff pointed to a case last week in which the Stanislaus Drug Enforcement Agency arrested five criminal illegal immigrants in a massive marijuana grow.
"Three have prior criminal convictions and deportations, including convictions for domestic violence and narcotics trafficking," Christianson said. "Despite all of that, they were allowed to bail out, thanks to the Trust Act. Pretty sure we're not going to see any of them show up in court."

It does not have any gromets but then they never said it did. I have added some to help keep it in place during periods of high wind. We are in the mountains, so this matters. I think it will perform well.

The second annual Autism Awareness Charity Ball, presented by the Dickinson Center, Inc. Autism Program, was held on Friday at The Red Fern Banquet and Conference Center in St. Marys, with proceeds to benefit the center's Autism Program.
The evening included a performance by Jack Garret and the Swingin' Starz, as well as live and silent auctions.
Linda White, Autism Program coordinator, said that 155 tickets were sold for Friday's event, and while the official totals were still being tallied, she estimated the amount raised to be between $16,000 and $18,000.
Editor's note: This is the eighth part in a series of articles based on a presentation given by area historian and photographer Ray Beimel regarding the history of the Erie Avenue area.
According to local historian Ray Beimel, at one time "you could pretty much buy everything you wanted" on Erie Avenue.
During a recent presentation at the St. Marys Senior Center on the history of the Erie Avenue area, Beimel briefly discussed many of the prominent businesses that once lined the roadway.
After more than a year of fundraising, planning and work, members of the St. Marys Servicemen's Burial Detail saw their vision realized during the dedication of veterans' monuments at the St. Mary's Catholic and Protestant cemeteries Saturday afternoon.
The idea for the monuments honoring the veterans laid to rest in the community's cemeteries was first discussed by detail members in March 2011, and they promptly got the ball rolling with outreach and fundraising efforts.
Citing budget cuts and continuing economic downturn, a greater number of public school districts in further tightening the purse strings have turned to the option of charging participation fees for student involvement in athletic and other extracurricular activities.
A number of notable local businesses got their start along Erie Avenue, one of which was the Lyn-Clare Flower shop, which was started by Evelyn Chase and Clare Geitner. The business was one of several discussed by local historian Ray Beimel during a recent presentation he gave at the St. Marys Senior Center on the history of Erie Avenue.
Beimel explained that "at some point, Evelyn became allergic to flowers," and remarked to attendees that "many of you remember she was a great one for making paper flowers. The reason she did that was because she couldn't be around real flowers anymore."
FOX TWP. ŌĆō┬ĀFox Township has a multitude of clubs and other activities available for youngsters throughout the summer, according to Debby Agosti, Fox Township Recreational Facilities Director.
Agosti is in charge of the township's 15 summer help students who are responsible for coordinating and running the various events during the summer months.
"What I usually do is wait until I get my college students and then we put it out on the table what they want to bring to the park and what they want to offer to the kids. It's always nice to have that variety," Agosti said.
The Rice Foundation, established by Dr. Jeffrey Rice of DuBois with the goal of providing much-needed medical care to the residents of Copan, Honduras, has succeeded in erecting a birthing clinic and surgery center and treating over 60,000 patients since its inception. Rice said the services provided by the foundation and day-to-day operations are made possible by a dedicated network of volunteers who attend regular mission trips to Copan led by the foundation.
Local historian Ray Beimel remarked that while "we don't think of Erie Avenue as being an important industrial place anymore," back in the early 1900s it was.
During a recent presentation at the St. Marys Senior Center, Beimel showed attendees a photograph from 1917 of the location where the Novelty Incandescent Lamp Company, which later became Sylvania, got its start.
"Sylvania light bulbs started in St. Marys in the back room of the bakery building. That's where the Elks' parking lot is now," Beimel said. "They didn't manufacture light bulbs, they remanufactured them."
The staff at Benzinger Park in St. Marys will be busy this summer as the park continues to provide activities for individuals of all ages. This year, Park Director John Schneider, who is in his 20th year at the facility, has 13 summer workers helping to ensure that members of the public are provided with quality programs, especially those geared toward area youth.
RIDGWAY - Steps to strengthen source water protection were discussed at an Elk County Gas Task Force meeting earlier this week.
Jodi Foster, community and economic development coordinator for the Elk County Planning Department, said Watershed Specialist Kim Bonfardine is ready to start source water monitoring in Brockway. She noted that although Brockway is in Jefferson County and not in Elk County, the reason for the monitoring is because much of Brockway's source water stems from Elk County.

have you tried paint stripper?
what about clay bar? like what you would use to detail a car. if it's not clear coated then the clay bar might get it off, but paint stripper would be easier
No but I'll give it a shot. I'll stop by HD tomorrow after work to get some. I had a bottle of Goof Off and tried that. It took the adhesives off from the stickers on the kegs like a dream, but didn't do anything to the paint. The bottle said that it works on latex paint only. Any other suggestions would be great as well.
gell paint remover. you won't have to worry about if running off before it does its job. you will have to work in shifts because its a round surface. id lay it on its side, put some on the paint, wait, remove, roll, repeat!
Lowes carries a few brands.
Thanks! I'll pick some up after work today.
Most "aircraft" type aerosols will take the paint off of a keg. Spray it on, let it work for about 5 to 8 minutes. You will see the paint bubble off. Then wipe it off with a scotchbrite pad.
It's been a while since I last posted. I'm juggling too many projects at once, so little progress on the e-kettles. I have my 5500w 240v heating elements on order and continue to compile my list of stainless fitttings, parts, ball valves, etc. I'm building basically the same system as Kal designed, but refuse to pay $375 for the Blichmann Kettles. A local deli down the road from my office went out of business and they are liquidating their equipment. I was able to pick up a couple of stainless steel tables for cheap. They need some cleaning and polishing, but they will do the trick. One is a 48"x30" all stainless with a shelf. The other is a 60"x30" heavy duty stainless table with aluminum legs and undershelf. The bigger of the two will be what I set the kettles on and the smaller will be a work island in my brewery. Here are a few pics of the tables.
I don't care for the aluminum legs and shelf on the bigger table, but it's sturdy as hell, so I can't complain for the price. They should clean up nice, but I may use some kind of metallic spray paint on the aluminum base of the one. Any suggestions?
Here are a couple of pics. with the kettles on the bigger table. I can easily cut the legs down on the table to lower the level of the kettles. It has cross supports that make it very sturdy. I'm a big guy and I can sit in the table in the middle and it doesn't even bow. Should be plenty strong for a good brewing table base. I could add another support in the middle with an aluminum fence post, but I don't think it will be necessary.
I wouldn't paint the aluminum, I'd buff it up with an angle grinder and a medium/fine pad to give it a nice matte finish and call it done. Paint is a PITA that will end up looking like crap once you start dinging it up...
Thanks for the advice. The tables have some very fine scratches that I plan on buffing/polishing out when I put the final polishing onto the kegs. I will do a fine sanding on the aluminum and maybe a #5 polish and let it be. I don't really want to paint the base, but it depends on how it looks when I'm done cleaning it up and polishing.
Over the next week, I am going to start gathering my stainless steel nuts, washers, fittings, ball locks, disconnects, etc. for my kettle conversions. I recently learned about a business that is 2 miles from my house called Quality Fasteners. I drive by the business everyday, but didn't realize that they sell most of the stainless parts that I need for my keggle conversions. My neighbor owns a solar power installation company and he said that he purchases stainless parts at a fraction of the cost of McMaster/Carr, Granger, etc. I'm stopping in there on Tuesday with a parts list to see what they can help me with, because paying $3 to $6 each for ss washers, lock nuts, bushings, etc. through Morebeer.com or brewhardware.com isn't gonna happen. My neighbor claims that he gets these items for 1/3 or the price of other sites. If it pans out for me, I will let them know at this business that they could do a hell of a business with home brewers if they keep their costs down and market it effectively.
Well it didn't work out with the company by my house. Not only was their quote high, it wasn't even in the same frickin' ballpark.......or universe for that matter. Their quote had several fittings at $30 each, for the same fitting at BargainFittings.com for $4. Not to mention their quote for the 50' coil of 1/2" SS Tubing for $449....WTF! I have been driving myself crazy working off of Kal's list for the electricbrewery.com and cross comparing on 5 to 6 different websites like McMaster/Carr, Grainer, MoreBeer, BargainFittings, Norcal, etc. In my experience so far, I am quickly discovering that you really cannot beat BargainFittings.com for their weldless kits. Bobby at BrewHardware.com has very good pricing as well (and his site glasses are superior IMHO) and he has done an awful lot for HBT and the homebrewing community as a whole. I've tried pricing out each piece of the kit through various vendors and cannot beat the $11 to $12 for the kits....there's just no comparison trying to piece it together yourself through MMC or Grainger.
Here's what I'm learning in this process so far. Buying the bulkhead kits is the way to go. I plan on using a combination of BargainFittings.com and BrewHardware.com for everything, with the exception of some of the interior components. Although it is certainly more sexy to go with all 100% stainless steel parts, I'm having a hard time spending $19 for one SS 1/2" MPT x 1/2" compression fitting. I also am quickly realizing that things can be done in a much more cost effective manner by using some copper fittings. Although money isn't a major issue, the frugal side of me is having a hard time paying gross amounts of money for tiny little fittings. Not to mention a 50' coil of 1/2" stainless steel tubing, which is expensive as hell. I have two copper immersion chillers, one 50' and one 75'. Guess what the 50' is going to be used for.... you guessed it, the HERMS coil. I would much rather use some copper components for the guts of the build and put the extra several hundred dollars in savings towards Kal's control panel.

Pay up your debts or stay
The Kuwaiti government may prohibit expatriates from leaving the country if they still have debts. Do you agree with the country's stand?
March 10, 2009 11:15 by Aarti Nagraj
A senior Ministry of Communications (MoC) official told Kuwait Times that the ministry is working closely with the Ministry of Interior on a new plan that will not allow expatriate residents to travel abroad until they pay their outstanding debts.
Kipp assumes the ministry is taking such steps to combat the effects of the financial crisis on the country's liquidity. A recent report by the Kuwait Audit Bureau accused the MoC of negligence in collecting more than KD120 million ($406 million) worth of customers' debts. However, an official from the ministry denied the report, telling Kuwait Times that the sum doesn't exceed KD9 million ($30 million).
Although Kuwaiti nationals are also responsible for the huge debt problem, it appears only the expatriates are getting a rough deal out of it.
Even before the financial crisis, however, Kuwait has always had a strained relationship with its expatriates. According to the July 2008 estimate of the CIA World Book, non-nationals make up more than half of Kuwait's 2.5 million population.
Kuwait's deputy prime minister and state minister for Cabinet Affairs, Faisal Al-Hajji said earlier this month that 12,700 jobs were created for Kuwaitis through the so-called expatriate replacement program; the program is designed to create employment for Kuwaitis by replacing 10 percent of expatriate workers in the government sector with nationals every year. The second phase of the program requires that 15 percent of the expatriates employed in 29 government departments must be replaced by Kuwaitis every year, reports Kuwait Times.
The country gained international media attention in July last year when thousands of Bangladeshi workers were deported for staging violent demonstrations and demanding better pay and working conditions. After the incident, the government also announced that it was planning to limit the number of work permits for some nationalities.
An August report in Al-Watan Daily said "State agencies are to coordinate efforts to deport at least 800,000 unskilled expatriate workers within the next three years."
While the latest step by the Kuwaiti government can be blamed on the economic slowdown, is the country being fair to its expatriates?

Compliance Director John DeLong also says explaining what NSA does is becoming a greater part of the agency's culture.
The National Security Agency had a series of security reforms underway before Edward Snowden surfaced, according to compliance director John DeLong.
When the leaks by Snowden, a former agency contractor, became front-page news last year, the urgency certainly increased, DeLong said. "For those who have lived it, either externally or internally, it feels more like a flood sometimes, not so much a leak," he quipped. But the move to thin client solutions, efforts to reduce data exposure, a risk-based approach to systems administrators, and a switch to two-person controls for access to the most sensitive information were all in the works.
DeLong took over compliance at NSA in 2009, and since that time his shop has grown three- or four-fold, he said, to about 300 workers. Much of the growth has been in IT compliance, DeLong said. While the core mission of training staff to comply with existing law, Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court rulings, and directives from the Justice Department has been longstanding, there are now efforts to bake compliance into the technology itself.
"Compliance is everyone's responsibility at NSA but mine first and foremost, to make sure people are set up for success: So that rules are consumable, trainable, testable, that machines can incorporate them directly into people's workflows, that we have spot checks, etc.," DeLong said.
While DeLong, who spoke at an Aug. 21 industry event hosted by FedScoop, did not dive into details, he did note that his staff is able to move quickly to respond to new policy. For instance, after President Barack Obama ordered changes to the domestic collection of bulk telephone metadata records, DeLong's team was able to put those changes into effect, in terms of training and technology.
One unanticipated benefit to the Snowden leaks, DeLong said, is that the NSA is now getting more comfortable with having a public face -- going out and explaining what it does, and what laws and orders authorize its activities. "We need to make sure we can describe what we're doing to the public," he said. "That's much more becoming part of the culture, part of trying to minimize surprise."
