Bowling Balls
My MIL each have acquired a bowling ball to paint and use as a gazing ball. Her bowling ball was free; mine was $1.00 at a garage sale. My husband suggested we clean them with mineral spirits before painting to get the wax off of them. I was going to paint with an outdoor paint and then do a gloss clear coat over that. The entire idea of this project is to keep it cheap. We have maybe $8 so far in each ball for spray paint. The problem I am running into is finding stands for gazing balls. We looked locally for concrete stands but found none. Resin stands at the ag store were like $40 and it appears most stands on the internet are in the $40-$60 range. We want ours to stand pretty tall, especially mine which will be in my flower garden. Any suggestions on purchasing or building a cheap stand?
Sounds like you're having fun! Here's a link our our Garden Junk Inspirational Album that our friend, purplemoon, has created for us in the past...lots of BB's...you may see an idea for a stand...if not, enjoy the GJ decor! Jeanne S.
Here is a link that might be useful: GJ Inspirational Album ...Bowling Balls
I also have one on a BB base,and one on an old piece of crockery,and one sits on a turtle.The one on the turtle is the oldest one and i did it before i ever came here.It's done with the colorful bottle caps from flavored water and the rings that are below the top.It's getting pretty faded,so time to tear it apart and do something different.
If you have a large plant pot or planter just flip it over and put the bowling ball on the bottom which becomes the top. How about a tree stump? Old astray stands. Large candle holders. Short stool or ladder. Very large pipe cut to lenght wanted. How about a broken shovel handle, of which I have many.A section of CB Tower with the ball at the top and clematis or roses growing up. And the list goes on.
Several small tomato cages wired together for strength with the "sides" spread out along the circle?
That's what I plan on doing but haven't done it yet, like so many things. Could then put hardware cloth on the inside and slather with mortor mix, but that is another story!
I have used the tall pillar candle holders.
I live in oil field country so I've found all sorts of neat oil field pipe and other miscellaneous farm junk (my FIL keeps everything) that I can use I think. My MIL also found a yellow bowling ball for $1 at a yard sale. I have yet to see it but if it looks good we'll just clear coat/polyrethane over the top and not even paint it.

Landscaping How-to: Taming Invasive Bamboo
Master gardener Paul James explains how to tame the most rampant runner, invasive bamboo.
James has a passion for bamboos, particularly the clump-forming bamboos like Fargesia, which don't run all over the place like the invasive types do. "A really good friend gave me a magnificent bamboo specimen for my birthday," says James. "It's a real beauty, but the only problem is, it's a rampant runner." It's an extremely invasive member of the genus Phyllostachys known as golden-groove bamboo. And in addition to being beautiful, it's also 26 feet tall.
"If I were to plant this in the ground, I would almost certainly live to regret it, as would my neighbors," he says. "Unless, of course, I went to the trouble of lining the planting hole with a special 60-mil plastic to contain the incredibly invasive runners."
Remember the rule of running bamboo: first year sleep, second year creep, and third year leap. And when James says "leap," he means it. Running bamboos can travel far and fast. "I've seen shoots pop up 50 feet away from the mother plant." And in no time at all, a solitary plant of running bamboo can take over an entire yard and the yard next to it, and next to that, and so on.
So for now, James has decided to plant his new bamboo in a rather large, plastic pot. Although you can grow running bamboos in a pot, in time they'll become extremely pot-bound and begin to grow outside the pot, and you may notice a distinct lack of vigor. But by growing his in a plastic pot, James can cut the pot away in a few years and either put the bamboo in an even bigger pot — assuming he can find one — or give it a proper home in the ground. If he were to use a more expensive ceramic or clay pot, he probably would wind up breaking the pot in the process of removing the bamboo. What's more, the pot, potting mix and plant together would weigh several hundred pounds. And while this finished pot will be heavy, it will at least by manageable.
After filling the pot halfway with potting mix, James simply adds the clump of bamboo, tops the pot with a bit more mix, and waters well.
"And there you have it, a striking specimen that makes a wonderful addition to my landscape and adds a strong vertical element in a way no other plant can."

Though the military connection that makes the original NCIS so intriguing is muted in NCIS: Los Angeles, the show continues to more than make up for it with its involving, complex plots; great character development; and use of on-location shooting, which lends a gritty realness to the story lines (and reminds the viewer of just how vast Los Angeles really is). This season there's also potential romance brewing between some of the agents--with palpable sexual tension. Callen, whose life was shattered in season one, tries to regain his equilibrium, one wisecrack at a time. And once again LL Cool J shows that he's one of the most charismatic actors on the small screen, being both the glue of the team as well as the straight man, and making it all look easy. Fans of NCIS: Los Angeles will also appreciate the boatloads of extras in this set, including a great feature on the story lines behind season two, cast commentaries, a look at the character of Hetty, the cinematographer's view, and much more. In short, season two of NCIS: Los Angeles is pitch-perfect as a crime procedural, and any fans of true crime and well-written drama will want to own it. --A.T. Hurley

Air India has already taken the delivery of one aircraft late last month, and the remaining two are scheduled to be delivered to the carrier by this month and in June 2015.
As part of the contract, TAL will manufacture and supply over 550 sheet metal components, machined parts and sub-assemblies to RUAG, for Airbus' A320 programme.
Boeing has patented a system that will make it easier for passengers to return to their seats. Patent 8,896,456 covers what the company calls a seat location system.
ICF said its data show a strong flow into China, India, Brazil, Mexico and other emerging markets until 2012. In the last three years, investment has shifted towards US.
The delivery of the 20th and 21st Dreamliners are scheduled to take place by end March and in June this year, the airline said.
A 787-900 Dreamliner can carry 280 passengers, 16% more than the 787-800, and fly 15,372 km non-stop, compared with 14,500 km by the 787-800.
Airbus said that the results "exceeded its targets for 2014" and that at the end of last year it "commanded more than 50 per cent market share for aircraft above 100 seats".
After 10 long months in the hangar in Mumbai due to various maintenance issues, the aircraft is likely to resume flying next month.

i don't use the "love and tolerate" because -
1. it is a weakness and a good troll weapon against us (its more of a death trap than a shield when used by a brony in argument)
2. i cannot love and tolerate simply because i hate all humans (so insted i respect people, this allows me to hate as much as i want and still have respect for who i don't like)

OK HBT, help me out with a little issue. I have a LHBS that got me into brewing originally, and is a decent store overall. I like it well enough, but the problem for me now is the prices. They charge $2.50/lb for all grains and $4-$4.50/oz for hops. I can get grain for half the price and a POUND of hops for the same money they charge me for 2-3oz. The Wyeast packs are $10-$11, which isn't so bad, but dry yeast (Notty, Fermentis packs) run $4.50 per packet for the cheapest ones. I know shopping online is cheaper, if you know where to look, but this strikes me as extreme. This didn't matter so much when I was brewing just a little, but I find myself brewing once a month anymore, and the costs are adding up. Help me put this in perspective:
What do your LHBSs charge for grain & hops? Yeast?
Would you do most of your shopping online, too, if you had to pay these prices?
Don't worry, be hoppy.
That's pretty high. Grain here is $1.35-2.10/pound. $2-3 /oz hops. Smackpacks are $7. Dry yeast is $2-4. I'd probably shop online, at least for hops if you still want to give them some business.
I guess it depends on where you live. If you're in the middle of nowhere then it's probably a combination of high shipping costs for the LHBS and them taking advantage of being the only shop around. Another concern would be the freshness of the grains, hops and yeast if they don't turn inventory over quickly enough. We are dealing with perishable goods that often don't have an expiration date stamped on them (grains, hops).
Those prices are ridiculously high. If I was faced with those prices I wouldn't think twice about buying online.
I use my LHBS for odds and ends, for little things I need and don't want to pay shipping for. Recipes, I get online.
"Anything worth doing, is worth doing slowly." ~~ Mae West
Those prices seem a bit high. However, I am a firm believer in supporting local businesses. If it's a good store with fresh ingredients and a knowledgeable staff I would continue to shop there for heavy bulky items and things like liquid yeast.
Do they offer a frequent buyer punch card or a club member discount?
In Canada I pay 1.50/lb for grains, 2.00-2.50/oz for hops (cheaper in bulk) and $10 for smack packs.
$10 for a smack pack is way too much. Prices do seem high for your ingredients. As much as I like to support the local shop, I'd do all my shopping online if they had these prices.
BN Army for Life!!!
I had the same problem. The closest LHBS charged 30-50% more than online. The only decent place was quite a drive away and they charged 15-35% more. I ended up shopping online for most things but still tossed the local stores a few bones for convenience. Now Brewmaster's Warehouse is my LHBS so it's win win
Sounds like someone needs to open up a more competitive store up there.
Start buying your most frequently used items online, 50lbs of 2-row and hops by the pound are a good start. I do this and run to my LHBS for yeast, specialty grains, and hops that I don't have in the freezer.
Support them in any way that you can, you can even ask if they will pricematch (mine will on some items) on particular things to keep your business local. I used to buy DME/Grain from North Country Malt, but my LHBS can match their prices + shipping, so I end up paying the same overall, but supporting my local store!

Chevy makes way for Michigan-built Sonic subcompact
By Jim Hagerty
Staff Writer
General Motors Co. announced last week it has a name for its latest line of subcompact cars.
The Chevy Sonic, to be built in Michigan, will replace the Korean-built Aveo, execs said Friday, Dec. 10. The car will compete with the Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Accent, both leaders in the U.S. subcompact market.
The European version of the Sonic was revealed at the 2010 Paris Auto Show and was known as Aveo. The U.S. version is slightly larger and features upgraded interior and exterior designs. The Sonic will be officially unveiled at the 2011 Detroit International Auto Show in January 2011. The line is expected to be in showrooms by the beginning of the 2012 model year.
According to G.M., the Sonic won't be the most powerful car on the road. Boasting engines no larger than 115 horsepower, the line will consist of basic, entry-level vehicles with limited option packages.
Sonic, however, will be available in sedan and hatchback versions.
General Motors North America President Mark Ruess said the company has been considering redesigning the Aveo and changing its name since October. There was considerable market confusion with the name, Ruess said, mostly with how to pronounce "Aveo."
General Motors filed for a trademark for the name "Chevrolet Sonic" Oct. 5.
"The Sonic represents a new beginning for Chevrolet in the small-car segment," U.S. marketing chief for Chevrolet, Chris Perry, said. "So, we felt it was time to give it a new name. The new car is roomy, stylish and fun to drive, and Sonic is a youthful, energetic name that helps convey what this vehicle is all about."
The Sonic name will not be associated with Sonic Automotive, Inc., a Chevy dealership based in North Carolina, which owns 100 stores.
The Sonic will be built in Orion Township, Mich., about 35 miles north of Detroit. General Motors was scheduled to close the plant until UAW concessions were worked out in the company's 2009 bankruptcy reorganization. The Orion Township facility will also produce the Buick Verano, a compact sedan, also slated for a 2012 release. The company has agreed to invest more than $500 million to retool for both models.

New York, NY, December 13, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc), the leading non-profit professional organization dedicated to the advancement of global communications, will demonstrate new technologies for enabling new home E-health business models and "Internet of Things" (IoT) security frameworks at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show to be held January 8 – 11 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Both demonstrations will be on display at the IEEE booth #30242 located in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center and serve as extensions of the 10th annual IEEE Consumer Communications Networking Conference (CCNC) to be held at the Flamingo Las Vegas from January 11 – 14, 2013. IEEE CCNC 2013 will consist of nearly 400 keynotes, panels, workshops, tutorials and technical sessions focused on helping the consumer electronics industry drive on-demand access to entertainment and information technologies anytime, anywhere, regardless of time or location. This includes detailed analyses of communications ranging from cognitive and peer-to-peer networking to the designer services and tools used to ensure ease-of-use, security and stunning interactivity.
As an introduction to IEEE CCNC, visitors to the IEEE ComSoc booth at CES 2013 will receive a demonstration on "Enabling new e-health business models by converging IP-based and non-IP-based home networks" from Frank den Hartog of the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO). Designed to overcome the challenges produced by user-centric content energy management, education and e-health services operating with non-IP communication infrastructures, this demonstration will show how non-IP supporting Continua-certified health devices, such as weighing scales, can be unlocked by Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) systems for use by other devices and services in the home.
In the second demo performed at the IEEE booth on January 11, Pascal Urien at Telecom ParisTech & EtherTrust will showcase "LLCPS: A New Security Framework Based On TLS For NFC P2P Applications In The Internet Of Things." Although NFC (Near Field Communication) has shown promising results for enabling proximity communications in payment, access control, transport or file transfer applications, it does not support a security framework. This demonstration presents Peer-to-Peer (P2P) transactions protected by a new protocol, LLCPS, i.e. the Logical Link Control protocol (LLCP) secured by TLS and its potential for enabling a wide range of IoT services.
In addition, IEEE CCNC 2013 will officially commence on Friday, January 11 with the first of four full days dedicated to the latest developments and technical solutions in the areas of home networking, consumer networking, enabling technologies (such as middleware) and novel services. Among these presentations will be the keynote addresses of industry experts such as:
• Donald L. Schilling, Chairman of LINEX Technologies, who will speak about his "Vision of Wireless Consumer Communications" and the development of "Wireless Cities," where people will use just one phone or hand-held computer to enable nearly every form of electronic communication in real time

Use of rugs on hardwoods
Hi -
We are moving into a new house, and for the first time we will have hardwood floors. And they happen to be in the high traffic areas (foyer, hallways, kitchen, pantry and laundry/entry from garage).
Can I use rugs on my hardwoods? Can they be rubberbacked - and if not, what can I use that won't slip?
Please help. Our hardwoods are Brazilian Cherry.
I am not a fan of rubber-backed rugs.
They will hold moisture against your floor. You don't want water sitting on your hardwoods too long, especially if it is a wax finish. I live in MN (wet, salty and sandy winters) and I use a deep pile rug (to trap dirt) and I bought the rubber non-slip pad for underneath. I cut the pad in long strips and tack stitched them around the perimeter of the back of the rug. This way, they stay put and there isn't so much rubber touching the floor if it gets wet (like when my kids don't pull it up right away to dry).
I have 88 year old hardwoods in every room, and they are still standing strong. If I were you, I wouldn't waste the time or money on rubber backed rugs.
I also don't like rubber-backed. They tend to disintegrate. At best, it makes a mess when it decays. At worst, it melts into both your floor and rug, like old chewing gum, and causes permanent damage.
Personally, I also wouldn't sew anything to the rug. If it's a big rug, it will stay in place. If it's a small rug, go to a really respected (not necessarily expensive) rug store that sells old rugs and ask what they recommend, then cut pieces smaller than the rug if the stuff is thin, EXACTLY the size of the rug if it's thick (to prevent the threads breaking).
The rubber also stinks!
watch out
I installed a soild oak plank floor about 9 years ago. Tounge and groove. A life time finish from Armstrong. It has held up beautifully in the traffic areas.
On the other hand we acquired two dogs 5 years ago. i put a 3 x3 piece of carpet down for their water bowls as they slipped on the wood.
Some how the carpet got wet over a period of time.
One morning i came in and a 4x6 area had severly buckled. The carpet was damp. The nails i used were rusted so i knew it didn't happen over night. I real choir to repair, especially since the color had been discontinued
I know nothing about Brazilian cherry. We put oak in about a year a go and we have 2 area rugs. The one in the prep area of the kitchen is an inexpensive 8x10 from Bed Bath and Beyond. It has a rubber backing. So far so good. It was chosen for it's ability to camouflage tomato sauce and catch drips of both fat from the stove and water from the sink and dishwasher. When it starts to disintegrate it will be replaced by another one. No problems so far and I look under it occasionally. In the sunroom we have a wool rug. The floor is doing fine with it too. I hope to keep it longer than the kitchen one as it is more expensive and more of a decorative item.
The only things I know about rugs are that if they are very small you better either have a rubber backing or a non slip mat under it or someone is going to get hurt on it. Secondly if you have a new light wood like cherry the part you cover will stay light while the rest of the floor colors naturally with age. If you then remove that rug the floor areas won't match in color. Same if you cover it with anything as the exposure to light colors it.
I wouldn't stress too much. Wood is very durable and a natural flooring material, just remember it's a floor not a coffee table.
I would not use rubber back rugs on hardwood. There are application specific cushions, and non-slip membranes, that will not harm the surface/finish.
Be aware... The rugs covering the wood, will not let UV light to that wood under there. The flooring around the rugs or furniture is going to darken and when you move furniture and rugs, it will be obviously lighter in color. Move rugs and furniture often for the first year, to let the floor patina evenly.
I dont use any padding etc for my woolen handknotted oriental rugs. Just sit on the hardwood as well as stone floors. They dont move around.
We take up the rugs during the summer. This lets the wood patina evenly although I havent noticed much difference in color in the darker wood floor. The indonesian cherry did darken unevenly but a couple of weeks of no rugs fixed it.

Oh no! Blaze whispered in a fearful tone. She started to push Silver back towards the exit that counted as an entrance.
Silver grabbed on to her shoulders. He knew what the bells meant. They were coming.
"Stay strong" He murmured and quickly jumped out of the entrance/exit. It wasn't that long of a drop. Besides; it was always comforted by water. Icy water. The type of water that sends chills down your spine when you first touch it.
Blaze turned to the door that led to a rotting staircase. She had to watch where she stepped. This castle was so old, it probably used to house kings and queens from possibly thousands of years ago. Their spirits must have been tormented souls. They still walked the pitch black halls of their ounce glamorous home.
The steps creaked with each step. She didn't want to wake them. Their whispers were torments saying things to make her cry. Her pain was their joy. If they

"You're late." A hushed voice said from the darkness.
"I'm here now aren't I?" A scratchy voice said from the only entrance. It was a small hole just big enough for him.
You know what happens if she catches us.. A tingle went down her spine. She could already feel the intense pain. But every time the way for causing the pain changed. It was different every time. She didn't know what to expect. It could be slit wrists. Or no food or water for an entire week. Not that she got any in that time anyways.
"I know. I'm trying to find a way to get you out of this." He walked over. Her face was barely visible in the dim moonlight. He could just make out her hollowed cheeks and gray eyes. He leaned in for a kiss. That's when the bells started to ring

It was a terrible event to see his parents get killed by the dark powerful evil witch, Mefitis. This evil witch wanted their son Silver to fall in love with her but the hedgehog boy refused because she was too bossy, evil, and heartless; Silver knew why because she wants his gifted power of ESP. He was not gonna let that happen but it already happened to his parents before they died.
Right now, Silver is trying to fight back against Mefitis but she was too strong, "Hahahaha!!! Give up, Silver! Be my lover and I might bring your parents back to life!" Mefitis cackled while hiding her wand from her back.
"YOU'RE LYING!!!" Silver screamed and used his ESP powers to throw objects at her. But she dodges them and shows her wand, "Very well, then. HA!!" she casts jinxes towards the angry light-grey hedgehog but he dodged by doing forward rolls.
"Ha!" Mefitis finally hits him, knocking him down as he hits his head near the empty cauld

A flame.
Just one little burning flame in a glass. The significance of this burning life form is far more important and precious than anything else in this universe, and no one realises it. Because it is the root for all living things in this dimension. In several dimensions. The signature of life itself is inside this never ending burning flame, whose power can bring so much wealth and hope to the world and yet so much destructive energy lies within it could end it. Since time began, this living flame of hope and destruction has been kept in secret and guarded by humans from generation to generation, decade after decade, millennium after millennium, to keep it alive and protected from any who might misuse it.
The flame was unearthly, it bound the world together as one unity, yet, despite this unfathomable, divine power, the flame could be blown out if anyone ever dared to attempt such an action. Although

The woods were a dangerous place. Bears would be on the hunt for the slightest movement of living before attacking their prey; robbers were everywhere and ready to strike the next poor and innocent soul that walked by.
The little squirrel stuck its nose out of its hiding place, the tree giving the perfect cover for it and its family. They were out of food, belly low to the ground the lot of them. The small brown and elegant animal peeked its head out from the tree hole and looked to its right, then to its left. No predator in sight. As fast as its legs could carry, the rodent ran down along the trunk, its small paws making no noise as it ran over the fallen leaves and towards the price: the fallen and ripen nuts as well as juicy berries.
It fed hungrily, eating as much as its small stomach could handle, conscious at all times that it was out in the open, visible to its predator. Suddenly, its ears twi
