Glastonbury at 40 – still cool, or in the throes of a mid-life crisis?
Line-up for landmark festival divides opinion among music fans
Friday 16 April 2010
As every ageing rocker knows, it's not easy turning 40. Exactly how should you blend the mix of old and new to celebrate the dreaded milestone in appropriate and dignified style? For this year's Glastonbury Festival, the line-up for the party to mark its big four-o is proving no exception to the rules of ageing, dividing devotees and opponents of the great summer music and mud ritual.
The festival's founding father, Michael Eavis, insisted yesterday – as he announced that Dizzee Rascal, Scissor Sisters and the controversial rapper Snoop Dogg would be playing the Pyramid Stage – that this was the most impressive list of acts ever to grace Pilton Farm. They will be joining U2, Muse and Stevie Wonder as the headline stars.
While there were rumblings of discontent on the internet and among some critics, Mr Eavis said he was satisfied that people would not be disappointed come 25 June. "It is the most staggering line-up, to match the 40-year reputation of the festival. I have been trying to get U2 to play at the festival since 1982, and Muse have never headlined Saturday here," he said.
The inclusion of Snoop Dogg will rekindle memories of the controversy that surrounded the appearance of Jay-Z as the Saturday night headliner two years ago. His appearance infuriated devotees of guitar music such as Noel Gallagher – although in the end, the US rapper won more fans than he alienated, after starting his set with a version of Oasis's "Wonderwall".
The Flaming Lips, Pet Shop Boys and Orbital will headline the Other stage, while the veteran country artist Willie Nelson will play on the main stage on Friday. At least five major acts have yet to be announced. Such is the allure of being at Glastonbury, however, that all 175,000 tickets costing £185 each for the three-day event sold out within 12 hours of going on sale – long before any acts were announced.
Initial reaction was mixed. Comments on Facebook's Glastonbury Festival page ranged from the overexcited to the distinctly underwhelmed. "The only surprise is how unsurprising it is, weakest line-up since 1982," said one contributor.
However, negative comments on the Glastowatch website were outnumbered three to one by positive feedback, including one posting from "Mart, aged 53": "Over the moon. Not stuck in the past. Yes I'll see some old bands, can't wait for Faithless and Stevie Wonder, but half the joy for me is seeing up-and-coming bands. Yours very excitedly..."

Hit or miss? The critics have their say
Andy Kershaw
Broadcaster and DJ
Last year, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young headlining was a very difficult bill to top, but we have got Willie Nelson, which is about the only thing Michael Eavis – who is a god, in my opinion – could have done for this not to be a disappointment. All the others are third-raters. U2 have been a big bag of wind since I heard their first two singles 30 years ago; Stevie Wonder has been a tremendous bore for the past four decades. There are just not the stars any longer of that magnitude. When you are offering me Dizzee Rascal as the second-most tempting thing on the Friday night, that is a very telling indication of the awful state of things. The drugs changed Glastonbury. In the 1990s, it was no longer a meeting of herbalists but a gathering of amateur chemists. Glastonbury has got too big and too corporate. It used to be like a village fair – everyone knew each other, rubbing shoulders, drinking in the bar under the stage. Now there are too many arrivistes wandering around calling it "Glasto".
Kanya King
Founder, Mobo awards
In the past, Glastonbury's image was dominated by white rock and indie acts, but Jay-Z changed all of that with his performance on the main stage two years ago. That was the breakthrough moment. The fact that there are more urban artists now at Glastonbury reflects urban musicians' position at the forefront of music internationally. Glastonbury has had a lot of diverse acts playing on the jazz and world music stages, so what they are exploring now is nothing new. The difference is that these acts have made the move to the main stage. The Mobo ethos is to honour the past and to inspire the future, and with artists such as Stevie Wonder and Dizzee Rascal performing it is clear that Glastonbury is doing just that.
Mira Jessani
Live Magazine
There are bands in the line-up this year that might not have been there five years ago. When Jay-Z played Glastonbury, a lot of people were split over it. But the festival is opening doors to lots of different types of music, which is good because it reflects the public's diverse taste in music. It creates an opportunity for collaboration between different artists and cross-over between different genres. Collaborations introduce different music to different audiences, which can only be a good thing. It will be interesting to see what these bands will showcase to a wider audience. But I don't think the festival will present much new music to different generations. With the amount of access people have to music now, older people know Dizzee Rascal from his performance at the Brits, and younger audiences will have been introduced to songs by people such as Stevie Wonder through their covers by more recent bands. It's impressive that the festival has been going for 40 years, and the new kids on the block will be performing alongside the bands who laid the ground stones for their music.
Nick Kent
Rock journalist and author
You have all the big names there – Muse and U2 are probably the biggest rock bands in the world. It seems eclectic, but I wouldn't go near it. There is nothing on the main stage that I would waste my time watching, except Willie Nelson perhaps. It seems like they just picked up on what is happening at the moment. There is no context to it. In the 1970s, people went to festivals for the same reasons – to see the music and to mix with their own lifestyle tribe. I find rap acts very boring to watch live. U2 were crap when they began and are still vastly overrated and are one of the reasons why rock music is in such a pitiful state. When groups such as Muse and U2 are the most popular bands in the world, that is really shocking to me. There is plenty of good stuff out there. I like Beyoncé, Radiohead and Weezer, though I listen as much to jazz and classical music now as anything else.
Jamie Fullerton
News editor, NME
At Glastonbury you get headliners whose performance you'll remember for the rest of your life, but I don't see anything like that here. There were no massive surprises in the line-up; all the names had been rumoured for a long time. Snoop Dogg is the only one that stands out. I was surprised that Pendulum didn't make it on, as they were huge at Glastonbury last year and we thought they might be headlining this time. I think that Dizzee Rascal will be one of the highlights, and Foals always get ridiculous crowds. As Scissor Sisters have been off the radar for the past couple of years, it will be interesting to see if they can pull it off. I don't think there will be a rigid plan to commemorate the 40th anniversary, but the festival has such an amazing history, it doesn't need to lean on it too much.

Chamillionaire - Go Getta
Artist: Chamillionaire
Producer: The Beat Bullies
Album: TBD
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 3 votes )
On his last Booth feature, Chamillionaire reminded us that Some Things Never Change. Proving that sentiment to be correct, the self-proclaimed Mixtape Messiah has returned with another potent effort, Go Getta, on which his crisp, unique flow is as on-point as always. The Beat Bullies whip up a track that has the attitude (and drums) of a trap cut, along with a dash of Southern swag. The instrumental fits the H-town native's style perfectly. Though his flow is laid-back, he delivers each bar with speed and surgical accuracy. Go Getta may or may not make it onto Chamillionaire's upcoming album, Poison, so if you like it, be sure to let him know with a positive rating.

Two years ago i discovered that my cat had fleas and i tried this treatment as it is cheaper than frontline (who wouldnt). It did not work as i'd hoped, by killing the fleas, but I realised later that this was because i'd purchased a spot on preventative, not a killer. I have used the preventative drops for the past two years with no problems at all. I have a stray cat that i've taken in that has fleas and have used the 'double action' spot on drops on him, am now waiting to see the results. Not sure how long they take to work. All in all, I would recommend it to a friend, it is easy to use, doesnt require a trip to the vets, is cheaper and was recommended to me by the owners of a pet shop on the corner of my road that I have used and trusted for years.

House Crashing: Where Historic Meets Modern
When our good friend Noah Scalin (who happens to be a published author slash skull enthusiast) recommended that we check out his mom and dad's amazing house in Richmond's hip downtown district called The Fan, we were intrigued. And when we got there we couldn't snap pictures fast enough. Chuck and Mim are both well known fine artists who used to live in NYC before relocating to their charming 100 year old Richmond home. And their love of metropolitan loft-like living is obvious even in their historic casa. Let's have a virtual look around, shall we?
Here's the lovely exterior…
… and the entryway (complete with custom tile work commissioned by a fellow artist that Chuck & Mim adored).
This is their light and lovely living area complete with chairs that Chuck found on the street, thrift store items, a ton of DIY art, bartered accessories (trading is free, why not, right?) and even an item or two from Target. They also worked in art from various student exhibitions at VCU, which is a great way to collect amazing one of a kind pieces without draining the ol' savings account. We love that even though their house looks like it's full of bank-breaking antiques and reproduction pieces, it was all affordably acquired over time on the cheap. Chuck even hired one of his handy art school students to patch missing boards in the home's original flooring to save money (and support the arts, haha).
Here's their modest yet totally charming and functional kitchen complete with open shelving and a nice little peninsula with plenty of space to serve up a home cooked meal (or eat that entire mouthwatering pie like I wanted to do the whole time we were there).
We love that the house itself is full of historic and stately details (like the gorgeous high ceilings and this amazing staircase) while more modern furnishings and art still feel right at home. Gotta love the whole mixed & matched thing when it's done right.
Chuck and Mim's home really is a testament that the style of your house (like their historic 1900's home) doesn't have to dictate every item that you bring into it (since they have many modern, industrial, and clean-lined pieces it all feels cohesive and just seems to "fit"). So just because your house may be 100 years old doesn't mean every piece in it has to be an antique. We love that Chuck and Mim can appreciate and seamlessly introduce a nice mix of objects both old and new.
And their artistic eye for special "moments" that they can create in a room is super inspiring. Check out that glowing recessed rectangle in the wall below:
That's actually a cool little niche they added that's backlit thanks to light streaming in from outside (it also has a light source below that illuminates the sleek rectangular pane of glass, even at night). It's such a great place to display their pretty collection of glass bowls, plates, and vases. We just love that they took a detail-less solid wall and created a one of a kind feature.
We also love the hallway that leads to their bedroom. See, the bedroom floor is dark while the area on the other side of the hallway has lighter bleached floors. So to keep things feeling cohesive instead of mismatched, Chuck and Mim opted to redo the hall flooring with both colors – so they flow right into each other. All while creating an eye catching transition. Genius.
They also recently tackled a big bathroom reno, where they not only designed a cool linear sink vanity (see those horizontal strips of wood on the front that create such a great modern texture?) but also designed a totally gorgeous radiator cover with the same horizontally spaced strips to mimic the vanity. And they reused the original bathroom door. The doorknob was re-chromed and the interior panel of the door was removed, then recycled glass from a window originally above the radiator was inserted. Seriously, it was just a gorgeous room (and of course we love the work-with-watcha-got spirit). The thought they put into every little choice that they made was so inspiring.
It also felt really open thanks to the large glass block panel that they added to let in loads of light (there used to be a door there, which led to an unused upstairs porch). And the addition of the nearly invisible floating glass shower enclosure and the rainhead fixture definitely made it an envy inducing space.
But just in case you still doubt this duo's DIY creativity, check out these amazing metal doors that were inspired by this favorite designer of theirs. Chuck saw them in a design book and decided to recreate the cool checkerboard effect himself.
He just taped off a bunch of squares (so that part of the door would stay smooth) and sanded the other exposed squares that weren't taped off (to create that brushed look). Long modern Ikea handles polished things off nicely- without costing an arm and a leg.
And since these two are real-deal artists (they both have pieces in galleries and art shows in their honor) they actually need and frequently use their studio space. Here's a peek into Chuck's studio which bowled us over in the "collectable" category. Those gorgeous metal letters all come from store signage that used to hang right here in Richmond (he's not afraid to drive over to shops that are undergoing a renovation and ask for their old letters). And his bevy of fun gadgets like flashlights and old school pencil sharpeners had us feeling all nostalgic. No wonder the man has no shortage of creativity when he's surrounded by such fun things.
And we'll leave you with one more DIY project that Chuck took on since it's too good not to share. After spotting an interesting (but über expensive) light in an upscale Paris design store, he decided to try to replicate something similar at a fraction of the cost. He saved up a ton of clear film canisters (which you can hunt down online, find at a local photography shop, or collect if you still use a camera that takes film) and poked small holes in the tops of each of them so he could thread a string of white holiday lights into them. This homemade mass o' lights has moved around quite a bit (it's definitely a flexible "fixture") and it now it sits in the corner of his big open living area, adding tons of glowing ambiance to the room (and making us feel even more drunk with DIY desire).
So there you have Chuck and Mim's amazing house right here in Richmond. They really are two of the sweetest people around, so a huge thank you goes out to them for opening their doors and letting us share their stunning home with all of you. We hope you've seen something that has you inspired. Wanna play the what's-your-favorite-part game? We're torn between those cool stainless doors, the one-of-a-kind radiator cover in the bathroom, the striped hallway, and that surprise cut out in the bedroom.
Psst- Why stop virtually barging into people's homes now? Check out a slew of other inspiring spaces in our House Crashing gallery.

Is this a single family home or a townhouse?
Wow. It's always amazing to see how people's personalities shine through their interior spaces. A really beautiful home with amazing thought put into it. Quite inspiring.
Cool place! My favorite has got to be the transitional striped hallway, because I think it would work for any house and any style.
I love the metal doors. I wonder if that would work with metal wall/door panels? Like the rest, too — but it looks like a lot to dust. Am I the only one who thinks like that? Between that and little kids, my decor is pretty sparse!
i love their entryway!
I scrolled down to look at the photos before reading anything and I thought this was a home you'd looked at as a potential purchase. First thought" "BUY IT!!"
Wow, this is so weird. I was a student of Noah's about 5 years ago, and I think my sister was a student of his mother's. I never would have pictured this, not really sure what I pictured, but it wasn't this. It's beautiful though, and something to aspire to for my own home. Thanks!
omg–I LOOOVE this house. And the bathroom is to die for–Chuck or Mim: I have been wanting to do a walk-in shower like yours, but the contractors in my sleepy little town never know what I am talking about unless I show them a picture… Could you pls tell us where you ordered the big wall o' glass and approx measurements? So so elegant and clean-lined all over! Lovely job!!
gorgeous home!! I love the living room – it's cozy but classy.
Huge improvement over his last place too!
Noah is awesome! He designed the proposed new veggie license plates for Virginia: http://www.veggieplates.org/index.html
His parents have a lovely home. :)
I am a big fan of doing what you love. Not so much of what's hip or following other people's trends. This dude's got his own style down pat! Love the collection of pencil sharpeners!
what a lovely house….i always enjoy seeing artists' homes and how they style them. definitely won't be mistaken for a "catalog living" spread. blah and generic is SO overrated! xoxo
What an awesome home and an amazing, cohesive mix of old and new! So many features to love….but I especially liked the simplicity & ingenuity of the lighted rectangle in the bedroom. Also I'm hoping they can drop in with info on where they scored the long, leather settee (with bolsters) in their living room. I've been looking for something like that forever – it looks like it would be perfect under the window in our little family room.
The DIY canister light is amazing! Going on my list of projects.
Random question, not related to this post; what do you use to clean/wash your hardwood floors? I currently use Murhphy's Oil Soap, but I'm not to pleased with it. I was thinking of buying in a steamer mop but I'm not sure that's hard wood floor friendly?
That house is amazing. It's like something off of HGTV. I love the incredible modern feel, yet the house itself has so much charm. Adore!
This is — hands down — my favorite of your crashes! This home packs a design wallop while still feeling, well, homey! It works in every way possible.
"and those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music" -friedrich nietzsche
Woooow. The best thing about this house is that it's so personal. You can really see the character of the people who live in it. Best kind of decorating out there, imo.
My fave part, though, are the open shelves in the kitchen. I am sure that no matter where I live, (even now, in this wee apartment of ours) I will have open shelves in my kitchen. I took all the doors off the upper cabinets in our kitchen the second we moved in & I couldn't be happier with the custom-feel & openness it brings. Love it!
I love this house! My very favorite house feel is when old houses have surprising modern twists inside of them. Love that juxtaposition.
Love the tile work at the entry and love their living room!
Can't wait to finally visit Richmond and see all the great homes.
This is by far my favourite house-crashing you guys have ever done – I don't even know where to start to list my faves (that shower! those floors! the whole living room!)… I thought I wasn't a fan of the whole modern-meets-historic, but you've totally changed my mind! I think the art makes the space.
P.S. Clara and Burger's Halloween costumes were adorable! Hope you guys had a great first Halloween :)
Thanks for all your wonderful comments about our home.
We really appreciated hearing from you!
To answer a few of your questions–
Angel, the fan in our bedroom is from Modern Fan Company and purchased locally.
Miranda, we already have a 34 year old daughter and recently adopted Sherry and John (our House Crashers), but always willing to take on another. 8)
Elizabeth, our townhouse is a single family dwelling, built in 1909, and is located in the middle of an historic district in the city. It is detached on both sides.
Aimee, the glass wall in our new bathroom was ordered by my contractor and is 80″ high and 50″ wide. The bathroom was completed just before the photo shoot–glad several of you commented on it!
Usha, the settee in our living-room is vintage, probably from the 40's and was purchased around 20 years ago in a local antique shop.
And last a question to Kat. Wondered what you meant by "Huge improvement over his last place too!"
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask us.
I used to live a block away from this house and would always walk my dog by that block because I enjoyed the amazing garden work in front. During the summer, beautiful vines cascaded over the brick enclosing the plants. So pretty! Even from the outside it looked sheek and modern and now these wonderful pictures prove it! Both my sister and I are major YHL fans and love seeing homes in our wonderful city of Richmond! We really have some amazing houses and neighborhoods here. Thanks for the virtual tour!

"Final Book of Wheel of Time was excellent!"
If you have listened to the Wheel of Time series , this is an absolute must listen to conclusion.
Many memorable moments had sad endings but I really enjoyed the triumphant conclusion.
I have listened to the entire audio book seies of the Wheel of Time by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, and I will purchase other books read by them. They did a fantastic job.
All of the Main characters had very moving moments that showed their true character , hero nature, and their willingess to sacrifice for the good of the world. That is what I hope for in a book of this nature.
I have waited a long time for the Memory of Light, and I was not disappointed. The Wheel of Time was long and at times tedious, but I do not regret having taken this listening journey. The concluding Book was satisfying. It was not the perfect conclusion as some critics expect, but it worked. However, there are some loose ends that need answered, but were well beyond this scope of A Memory of Light such as what happens to the Seanchan? If Brandon Sanderson wants to answer that and other questions in a followup "short" series, I would buy it.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is still bummed the band hasn't got a no.1 single in Australia yet.
In an interview with Kathy McCabe that appeared in News Limited papers yesterday, Martin again raised the topic that his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, still has bragging rights over him when it comes to topping the singles charts locally.
Paltrow notched up a No.1 on the ARIA singles charts when she teamed up with Huey Lewis for their hit Cruisin' – the theme song from the film Duets.
The closest Coldplay has ever got to No.1 was with recent hit Paradise, which peaked at No.3 after it was flogged to death in promos for Channel Seven's hit drama Revenge.
"It fucking took 12 years to get up there but the reason we keep going is so we can get a No.1 single in Australia one day", Martin said in the interview.
"We'll do anything that lets us keep coming back to Australia to go on tour there. We're ready now but just need to lose a bit of weight and get our teeth in order."
Tickets for Coldplay's Mylo Zyloto Australian tour went on sale this morning – with the band playing stadiums in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney in November.
A second show in Sydney was quickly added this morning for Sunday, November 18 at Allianz Stadium, with promoter Michael Chugg declaring that "there is no stopping this band", and he "couldn't be happier at the public's response to Coldplay's first stadium tour in Australia".
For all the details on the shows and to get tickets, click here.
Everyone who attends the Coldplay shows in November will receive a special LED wristband to wear during the performance, which will illuminate in tune with the music. For an idea of how it's going to look, check out the following video below:

A remorseful construction worker turned himself in to Banglamung police for hanging his two dogs behind a Nong Plalai gas station.
Mana Nutheeprasert, 44, surrendered Sept. 18, a day after a photo of the two dead dogs hung on a green nylon rope at the Highway 36 natural-gas vehicle station in Krating Lai went viral on the Internet. Activists from the A Call for Animal Rights Foundation posted Mana's name and a 20,000 baht reward on its Facebook page.
After he found out he was wanted, Mana Nutheeprasert surrendered to police.
The two dogs - one of which was pregnant - were said by neighbors to often lay on the vehicles at the station, but were not aggressive.
Banglamung police had issued a warrant for animal cruelty for the Samut Prakan native who had lived behind the station for three years. When the photo went up on the Internet, he was working in Hua Hin and couldn't be reached.
The maximum penalty Mana faces is a 1,000 baht fine and a month in jail.
Once Mana learned of the scandal, he surrendered to police and was questioned by the commander of Region 2 police, Maj. Gen. Sanit Mahataworn. Sanit said Mana told him the killing was done impulsively out of anger at the dogs, which had a habit of jumping on his car, scratching the paint.
Mana admitted to beating the dogs previously to break them on sleeping on vehicles, but when he caught them on his car again, he lost his temper, Sanit said.
"I feel ashamed of what I have done," Mana said. "Therefore, I have turned myself in to police to face the law and I beg for forgiveness from the society for my actions. This happened because of the heat of the moment and I am also an animal lover."
Sanit condemned the act, especially as it violated Buddhist principles. He said that in addition to jail time, Mana would be required to talk to a therapist.
A Belgian man died after falling through the roof of his Jomtien Beach guesthouse during a repair job.
John Hoemlund, 64, suffered a broken neck in the Sept. 18 accident at the Royal Star Guesthouse near the Mae La Or Market.
An elderly Dutchman died after apparently slitting his wrists in his room above a central Pattaya bar.
The body of Peter Hans-Jurgen Stockmar, 70, was found in a pool of blood at the Saxwell Outback Bar and Hotel on Soi Arunothai Sept. 18. There was no sign of an altercation in the room and two knives were recovered from next to the body.
Guesthouse housekeeper Amphorn Hemvijit said Stockmar checked in on July 27 and was due to leave on Oct. 3. He was considered a loner, often seen drinking beer alone at the bar. He was last seen around 10 p.m. on Sept. 16. She found him on the 18th while trying to clean the room.
Police only speculated on motives for the suicide and sent the body to the Forensics Institute to determine if there were health-related reasons behind his decision to end his life.
K-SME Co., led by Wutthichai Peewthong and Aphisit Litiwanon, donated 100,000 baht to the Banglamung Red Cross.
District Chief Sakchai Taengho received the donation at district headquarters Sept. 17.
Wutthichai said the company had raised 260,000 baht in "ice bucket challenges" over two weeks and executives wanted to donate part of it to the Red Cross for public use. The rest with be donated to other charities.
K-SME Co., led by Wutthichai Peewthong and Aphisit Litiwanon, raised 260,000 baht pouring cold water over their heads and donated 100,000 baht of this to the Banglamung Red Cross.
A former employee has been arrested for allegedly shooting his former boss and two others during a robbery of about 100,000 baht in gold and electronics from a Pattaya beauty-care shop.
Police are trying to determine how a middle-aged Thai man drowned off the old South Pattaya pier.
The body of the man in his 40s was pulled from the sea Sept. 12. There were no obvious signs of an injury that would have led to the drowning, other than abrasions that likely occurred after death. He'd been dead for about six hours.
Police were not certain of the man's identity, although he was wearing a Suvarnabhumi International Airport police volunteer shirt with the name Lt. Col. Narong Pijak on the back.
Police said that one of the deceased's legs had been sucked deep into the sand and it took them over 20 minutes to get him free. They could only speculate on how the man died, presuming he walked out into the sand to urinate and stepped into a mud or sand hole that the couldn't get out of.
A storm that took down a huge tree and power poles in Naklua Monday was also blamed for knocking down a wall and crushing two cars.
A cooking-gas fire damaged a car but injured no one in central Pattaya.
Firefighters arrived at the Nirandon Grand Condotel on Soi Arunothai Aug. 31 to find a Bangkok-registered Toyota Camry in flames and its driver, Pongsak Ketboonnak, nearly in tears. He had borrowed the million-baht vehicle from a friend.
One person died and another was hurt when a pickup truck collided with an 18-wheeler during heavy rain in Pattaya.
Montri Philasri, 36, was killed when his four-door Mitsubishi Triton smashed into the side of the Siam Container Co. cargo truck as it made a U-turn near Watjitpawan College on Sukhumvit Road.
Police are searching for the common-law husband of a Phayao woman who was smothered to death in an East Pattaya apartment.
The body of Atchara Khokubo, 28, was found Sept. 5 lying on the floor of a bedroom in Patchawan Place on Sukhumvit Soi 32, two pillows and a floor mat over her face. The rest of the body was covered by a blanket.

Looking for a species that fits me
SilverLykoisJune 1, 2014
I am new to bamboo but would really like to start growing. I want something that I can eat and use for wood. The problem is I live in zone 4 of Wisconsin. Are there species that I could pot and bring outdoors for the summer? Any info is appreciated. Thanks for your time.
In zone 4, pretty much any bamboo will not survive without protection, but with a polytunnel, or greenhouse, you should be able to grow quite a few species.
Here's my example.

More Pressure Washer problems
I have a Craftsman 2600 psi washer (model 580.742780). I can start it easily, it runs 5 to 10 minutes and then quits. I start it back up and it runs 6 to 8 seconds and quits. I can do multiple restarts and get the same run for for 6 to 8 seconds with a following instant shut down - It appears as if the ignition is turned off when it happens. If I let it set for a while I'll get a 3 or 4 minute run before it quits.
I do get a small continuous flow of fuel from the carb bowl whenever I pull the plug from the bottom. The engine oil is at the proper level. This unit only has 3 to 4 hours run time on it.
The unloader assembly seems to be working properly as it opens when I release the nozzle trigger (the engine "unloads") although sometimes I get a pressure lock and must release water pressure via the trigger before I can pull start the engine.
I do know there's a low oil pressure switch on the engine and thought it might be the culprit (warm engine and the lower oil viscosity produces a lower oil pressure) - I tried shorting out the switch but it didn't seem to do anything (maybe that's not the right way to check it ?)
So I'm now at a loss as to what to try next. Any suugestions ?
Canguy -
Other than the Craftsman nameplate, there is no other identifying data (except - ENG 97954 91626). It could be an overheated ignition module but would it still be possibly to start it immediately, while still hot, if it was the module ?
It is an overhead valve engine with a prominent valve cover marked OHV.
I would say a blocked vent in the fuel tank;try loosening the gas cap,(with only a little gas in the tank),a lot until its almost ready to fall off,and see what that does.It sounds to me as though you have a fuel delivery problem,and to find it might be a little tricky,but start at the tank,and work your way to the carb.................You might have some water in the fuel tank............
Never did. Tried loosening my fuel cap. Checked for fuel flow at the carb (plenty). Emptied my fuel and reloaded with fresh - still same problem.
Haven't had a chance to play with it since then, it sits in the back of my garage as a reminder of projects needing to be done :-)
I do suspect an ignition module as Canguy suggested and maybe it's that pressure switch I've never gotten any more info on. So I would still like some further suggestions myself.
If you come up with anything please publish it.
Not that I am all knowing when it comes to engines but I do believe there could be lots of things causing this problem. Vacuum/air leaks around the carb may be the cause. If you read other threads this is a common problem. The unit will run fine until warmed up and then crap out. Upon restarting it will run for
My problem is solved! It was the gas cap. Had the same exact problem as reported by rszanti in October 2005 (the OP). I won't describe my problem because rszanti's first paragraph at the top of this post describes it verbatim.
I will say that I felt my problem was a fuel problem because of how easy it would start after each stall. If the problem was heat related, I would expect more time would be required to let things cool down before it would start again.
>Craftsman 3100 PSI Pressure Washer Model 580.752080 purchase new in 2007
>Briggs & Stratton 121012-0123-B1 900 Series Single Cylinder OHV 4 cycle (no fuel pump or filter)
>No more than 20 hours of use on it.
This is how I diagnosed the problem:
The gas tank has a shut off valve. Closed that and disconnected the fuel hose from the carb. Removed the gas tank from the pressure washer. Held the tank over a gas container and opened the shut off valve. Gas started draining and then got slower and slower until it stopped draining, even though the tank was still full. Loosened the cap and the gas started flowing again.
After draining the tank, I tightened the gas cap and put compressed air at the fuel hose. No air leak.
So my guess as to what was happening is:
The carb bowl has gas and no vacuum exists in the tank. On first start, engine runs for about 5 minutes under full load and then stalls. The stall is caused because vacuum has built up in the tank and there is not enough fuel flow to serve the engine's need under load. The carb bowl empties and the engine stalls. Now the engine sits for a minute. Gas trickles into the carb bowl. On second start, the engine fires up but sucks the carb bowl dry again. (By the way, it will run for a long time if not under load. Probably because it doesn't require as much fuel flow.)
I inspected the cap design closely and it has no vent hole. I'm not sure why the cap worked and now it doesn't. Guessing there was something there that prevented the cap from screwing down too far, and over time it wore down. I didn't see anything on the tank either that would suggest a design for venting.
Anyway, now I screw on the cap so it is almost loose and the pressure washer has worked all afternoon under full load with no stalls. Go figure.

Chapter 39…..A Woman's Fury
Well…..I'm so happy you guys all loved the last chapter, but I think it's time for a little Carol payback to Daryl for acting like a brat last chapter. So I'm hoping you enjoy watching Daryl squirm while in the doghouse. Athlete Girl is working on the METH chapter, but I thought I would get this out to all of you!
I'm also reminding you if you like METH, check out Athlete Girl's new METH story, Mar My Path….very good! Also GreenOwl has a really cool Meth story too. So check those out.
I don't own anything if I did I would have a huge Memorial Day picnic and fly you all to my house! Hugs and enjoy the long weekend, Kaye and Athlete Girl:)
When Daryl woke up the next morning he was alone in their cell. He pulled himself from the floor groaning as his body cracked and popped. He was going to have to sweet talk his way into his woman's bunk because sleeping on the floor was fucking killing his back. He grabbed a clean shirt and threw it on, grabbing his crossbow as he made his way out of the cell and into the common room.
Carol had smirked when she found her husband holding their son that morning for about a second. Then she started thinking about all the things he had said and then the fact that he took off for the whole day to have his little temper tantrum. Carol was angry, she never let herself get angry at Ed, that wasn't allowed, but with Daryl, well he was different. She was different since leaving Ed and meeting him. Daryl gave her the strength to allow herself to be angry at herself and at him. She knew that he would let her be angry.
Carol took Tanner and changed him quietly. She slipped out of the cell and went into the common room to feed him and start breakfast. By the time Daryl came in most of the others were up eating. She same him out of the corner of her eye as he walked in, he stopped and talked to Sophia who was sitting with Carl. Carol made his plate and slammed it on the table by Sophia and Carl.
Daryl looked up at her and as soon as he saw her face, he wished he was staring down a hundred walkers, because that he could handle, but a pissed off woman, well he had no clue what to do. He heard Sophia and Carl snicker which made him snap his head to look at them. The two kids put their heads down and focused on their meals. Daryl sat down eating his food, trying to think of something that might get him out of hot water.
Tanner started fussing and Daryl jumped up when he saw Carol head toward the boy that was in Dale's arms. Daryl gave her a small smile, "I got 'im. You need to eat woman."
Carol grumbled under her breath but didn't say anything. She went to fix herself some breakfast. Daryl took Tanner and sat down next to Dale, "What's all this noise about little man?"
Dale smirked, taking a sip of his coffee, "Looks like you're in for a long day son."
Daryl watched as Carol took her plate and headed to the furthest table away from him. He sighed, "Yeah it sure as hell does."
Dale stood up and clapped him on the shoulder, "I'm sure you'll figure it out."
Daryl watched as Dale left and he turned his attention back to his son. Tanner's face was bright red, Daryl knew that face, he smelled the results of that face. Daryl sighed, as Carol walked passed him, "Looks like you're changing that one Dixon."
Sophia giggled again; Daryl looked up to see her and Carl both with shit eating grins on their faces. He snarled at them, "Don'cha have something you should both be doing because giving me shit?"
Carl blotted from the room, while Sophia laughed, "Oh Daddy you are in big trouble. Good luck with momma."
Daryl sighed, walking back into their cell to change his son. Daryl laid Tanner on the bed and grabbed one of the disposable diapers that Glenn and Maggie had brought back from the last run. Daryl had changed Tanner's diapers before, hell he had changed other diapers before. Usually it was a kid of a woman that Merle was screwing, but he had experience with diapers. But he was distracted by Carol being upset with him and he caught the stream of urine right to the face. "Damn it boy, come on!"
Tanner looked as please as he could, he just laid there kicking his feet, right into the poop in his diaper. Daryl tried to catch his foot but he didn't get there soon enough, "Oh come on kid!"
Daryl started gagging as he wiped the poop of his son's foot, "Jesus boy what is your momma feeding ya?" By the time they were done with their diaper change, Tanner had a fresh diaper and a totally new outfit as did Daryl.
Tanner started fussing and Carol appeared at the cell door, holding her hands out, "I need to feed him."
Daryl nodded handing over their son. After he got back from getting rid of the smelly ass thing his son had created, he stood and watched his wife nurse their son. She looked so peaceful as she cooed and talked to him. Daryl smirked leaning against the cell bars, "You're really good with 'im ya know?"
Carol looked up at him and her face went hard again, "Is there something you want Daryl? Because after yesterday you made it pretty clear you can't handle this."
Daryl stood up straight, his fists clenched at his side, "I'm sorry about that, but I'm fine. I got this shit."
Carol huffed, "Sure, whatever, I have washing to do."
Daryl stood there and watched her as she and Tanner disappeared. He sighed running a tired hand over his face. He had no fucking clue what to do to help get his ass out of hot water. He heard someone clear their throat behind him and turned to see Rick and Dale grinning like idiots. Rick smiled, "Do you want some help?"
Daryl sighed, he hated that he sucked at this whole thing, "Yeah."
Dale smiled, patting him on the shoulder, "Come on son the three of us are gonna go on a run."
Sophia was helping Patricia and her mom with laundry. They were hanging clothes on the lines that Rick and her dad had set up outside. Tanner was snuggled up in a little sling that her mother had made and he was sound asleep. As Sophia pinned up one of her own shirts, she saw Carl pop his head out from the tower. He made a silly face at her and she laughed. Carol saw him and then looked at her daughter, "Sophia, why don't you go keep Carl company on watch?"
Sophia's face lit up, "Are you sure momma?"
Carol nodded, "Yeah, your dad and the others won't be back for awhile, you two might as well have some fun."
Sophia squealed, running toward the tower, she called over her shoulder, "Thanks momma!"
Patricia laughed, "Oh to be young again."
Carol nodded, glad to be able to give her daughter a small amount of normalcy.
When Sophia got to the tower Carl smirked at her, "Want to see what I found up here?"
Sophia nodded, watching as Carl opened the small supply closet and stepped aside. There inside was several candles, a bottle of wine, and a pair of women's panties. Sophia laughed, "Oh MY GOD! Who's do you think those are?"
Carl shrugged grinning ear to ear, "I think it's Maggie and Glenn's stuff. I got bored so I picked the lock they had on it. I think I know what they do on watch."
Sophia raised her eyebrow at him, crossing her arms and smirking, "Oh really, well what DO they do?"
Carl blushed kicking at the ground, "Well, you know…what people do….they…well."
Sophia busted out laughing, "Oh my God, please stop it's too painful to watch! I know what they do Carl, they have sex." She walked passed him and sat on the edge of the observation deck, letting her legs dangle.
Carl sat down hard next to her, they could still see Carol and Patricia hanging laundry, "Well…what do you know….I mean about ….you know….sex?"
Sophia smirked, looking over at Carl's super red face, "What you mean your dad never told you about sex?"
Carl looked down at his hands, "Yeah, I'm not stupid. I just wondered what you knew about it."
Sophia sighed, leaning back on her hands and closing her eyes enjoying the sun on her face, "I know that it's between a man and woman when they love each other. I know that it starts with kissing and once you get really good at kissing then you move on from that."
Carl cocked his eyebrow, "You mean like we kissed?"
Sophia shrugged, "I don't know, I don't think so. I've seen Momma and daddy kiss before, when they thought I was asleep and they do it with their tongues."
Carl groaned, "It's a French kiss, they use their tongues."
Sophia nodded, "Yeah, a French kiss."
Carl was quiet for a few minutes, "Have you ever wondered what it would be like?"
Sophia blushed, "Yeah I have."
Carl scooted a little closer, his eyes scanned the yard and he saw Carol and Patricia head inside. His face was so red it felt hot, he turned to Sophia, "Would you like to….well you know ….we could….practice?"
Sophia smiled sheepishly, "I guess we could, BUT YOU CAN'T LET MY DADDY KNOW."
Carl shook his head, "No way! Your dad would put an arrow through my guy junk."
Sophia laughed, scooting closer to him, "Ok, maybe we could just do a simple kiss first, just to get ready."
Carl nodded his head, the two of them leaning in closer; before their lips could touch they heard the sound of a vehicle getting closer. They jumped apart looking up to see their fathers and Dale sitting at the gate. Sophia blushed, "I better go help unload."
Carl nodded his head fast, watching her go. He smiled to himself as he watched her run across the yard, he talked out loud to no one but himself, "I'm going to marry that girl someday."
Carol had just put Tanner down, when she looked up to see Daryl standing there at the cell door, a big smirk on his face. "I brought ya some stuff, come see."
Carol sighed, falling in behind him. When she got to the common room, she gasped. There still in the boxes was a baby swing and a portable playpen. Carol turned around smiling at him, "Oh Daryl, I really needed these things."
Daryl nodded, "I know, was hoping it would make up for yesterday and all." He walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist, "I'm sorry woman and I love ya. I promise to do everything in my power to keep you and our kids safe. I won't take off when ya need me."
Carol nodded her head, slowly turning around in his arms, "You can't cut and run Daryl. Being a parent is hard, there will always be things that come up and we have to deal with them together."
Daryl sighed, leaning his forehead to hers, "I know woman. I'll do anything to help make this up to ya."
Carol smirked wrapping her arms around his neck, "Ok, you have diaper patrol for the next week."
Daryl groaned and she laughed, "Alright Jesus woman, why don't you just cut my nuts off and keep them in a jar."
Carol reached between them and cupped him, "I like them just where they are, where I can grab a hold of them if I need too."
Carol pulled away leaving Daryl with a very noticeable hard on and a dumb look on his face. Carol turned around and clapped her hands, "Come on Dixon, these things are going to set themselves up."
She laughed as she heard him mumble, "Damn bossy ass woman, thinkin' she can tell me what to do."
Carol smirked, starting dinner; she looked over her shoulder, "What was that dear? You know I have excellent hearing."
Daryl swallowed hard, "I just said damn it's nice to have such a forgivin' woman." He quickly grabbed the boxes and set to putting together the swing and playpen.
Carol couldn't fight the smile on her face through dinner as she watched Daryl in the corner of the room setting up the baby stuff. She had been the one that told Rick and Dale what she needed for Tanner. She also knew from years of experience with baby stuff, there wasn't a more fitting punishment then watching Daryl try to read the instructions for putting them together. Carol sighed and couldn't help but hum a little, in the background, she heard Daryl cuss at the swing. Learning patience was something Carol just knew Daryl would find, even if it took till the end of the world.
Ok, so evil Carol….LOL…I know this was fluffy, but I could help with the fluff today. Hugs y'all Kaye

Unfortunately, teams in her survey rarely shared, say, compatible areas of expertise. Instead, they tended to form around shared social characteristics—like all […]

Study Shows Having
GirlWomen Directors Enhances GirlinessCorporate Governance
We've been to enough board meetings that look like those Miller Lite "Man Law" commercials to know that having more women on corporate boards is probably a good idea. But we're a bit skeptical about this recent study sponsored by TIAA-CREF which claims to demonstrate that having three or more women on the board "enhances […]
As It Turns Out, Women Hate Wall Street
Ah yes. Always the problem. Wall Street executives trying to figure out to "retain" the "top-flight" women "they spend bundles to attract." Wall Street is cutting edge when it comes to innovating and monetizing new ideas related to finance. Not so when it comes to women. The rough-and-tumble world of high finance remains among the […]

Strong start helps lift Lakers in 90-88 win over the Nuggets
- Updated: October 9, 2013
ONTARIO, Calif — The Los Angeles Lakers in third preseason game on Tuesday took advantage of a strong first half and held on late in closely contested 90-88 win against the Denver Nuggets.
Los Angeles held Denver to 31 points on 22.7% shooting from the field in the first half, and the Lakers shot 48.8% with their largest lead at 21 points.
The Lakers went into the fourth quarter with double-digit lead and Nuggets made their move by going on a 27-12 run that helped them gain a 87-86 lead after a fastbreak dunk by JJ Hickson with less than a minute left in the game.
They were unable to pull off the comeback as Los Angeles got to the line three times in the final minute and were also unsuccessful in both of their last second shot attempts by Jordan Hamilton and Anthony Randolph.
The Lakers received double-digit scoring from four players led by Steve Blake's 16 points and the Nuggets had three players in double figures with Javalee McGee's 14 points leading the way.
Although the Lakers were able to withstand the Nuggets late run, the real story of Tuesday's game was the chemistry between both Pau Gasol, who had 14 points and eight rebound in 24 mintues, and Chris Kaman, who had 12 points and seven rebounds also in 24 minutes, when they were on the floor together.
Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni was pleased with what he saw from both big men and after game sounded like he was considering featuring them both together in the starting lineup because of the chemistry the two have with each other.
"We will see I don't want to get there yet," D'Antoni said. "But they will play together. The thing about it what happens is that I want Pau in the whole and he can do that with Chris because (he) is just as comfortable on the elbow and the perimeter like Pau. Both of them can shoot the ball extremely well. Both of them pass the ball so they can take turns down there. The chemistry looked good between the two. "
Blake credited the performance of Kaman and Gasol on Tuesday due to their years of experience in the league.
"(They)are two guys that are veteran players understand the game," Blake said. "They know where to be. They're big guys, maybe not the most athletic, but they are a bully in their minds."
Gasol felt that Kaman's versatility allows for them to play so well together.
"I think he is not just an interior player," Gasol said. "He can step out off the lane and still be effective (by) knock(ing) down a couple of shot. He has a great shot also from 17 or 18 feet from the rim. He can say that he is not just a big guy that is going to be in the middle of the lane or operating in the post and elbow. His versatile and knowledge of the game really helps our combination work well."
Kobe Bryant returned to the team Tuesday after leaving to Germany last week for a knee procedure. He sat on the bench in his warm-ups and during an in-game interview said he feels good after receiving the treatment and that he is still ahead of schedule but still not timetable on his return.
He also added that he is still unaware of how much the procedure has helped him because he has yet to start running at full speed.
On a side note, both Jordan Farmar (calf) and Wesley Johnson (foot) did not play in Tuesday's game and are still listed as day-to-day.

Her hypnotic voice, her bright eyes; the way she walks, her energy flowing from the top of her head to her feet, passing onto the floor, eventually hitting him like an electric shock. He sees her sister as a perfect woman, and he hates it, because he knows that's not true.

DEFINITION of 'Risk Lover'
An investor who is willing to take on additional risk for an investment that has a relatively low expected return. This contrasts with the typical investor mentality - risk aversion. Risk averse investors tend to take on increased risks only if they are warranted by the potential for higher returns.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Risk Lover'
There is always a risk/return tradeoff in investing. Lower returns are usually associated with lower risk investments. Higher potential returns are associated with investments of higher risk, as most investors expect to be compensated for taking on additional risk. Risk lovers, however, go against this principle: they acquire investments of higher risk with a lower expected return.

Plainfield, N.J., has a population of 49,808, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. This ethnically diverse and ever-changing city is home to people from all walks of live, giving it a sense of real and genuine character. The city's 10 historic districts, seven of which are listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places, keep Plainfield's rich traditions alive. Yet, the city's storied history has not inhibited businesses and residents from moving forward.
Formed as a township in 1847, Plainfield has reinvented itself many times throughout its history. Plainfield - also known as "The Queen City" - is a cultural hub for people from a variety of backgrounds. The city's recent measures to bring residents together and revitalize downtown spaces give it a well-deserved buzz, while its comparatively low housing costs make it a great place to live. Those looking for Plainfield apartments for rent will want to research the city's different historic districts, as they all offer different experiences.
Plainfield is a city of many faces. Plainfield offers a one-hour commute to New York City, while acting as a separate and independent city. Plainfield's struggles through the past few decades have brought about restoration, revitalization and a wave of fresh-faced residents hoping to make a difference.
According to the city of Plainfield's website, about one-third of all Plainfield residents commute to work on a daily basis. New York City is a popular commute, but other residents make the trip to nearby towns like Piscataway, Elizabeth, Newark and Somerville.
Those searching for Plainfield apartments will be happy to note that an incredible 50 percent of all Plainfield residents live in renter-occupied homes, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The duCret School of the Arts, and the Muhlenberg Harold B. & Dorothy A. Snyder Schools of Nursing and Imaging are located in Plainfield. Union County College, Middlesex County College and Rutgers University are all located within 10 miles of the city. Plainfield is also home to Barack Obama Green Charter High School, one of the first sustainability-oriented charter high schools in the United States.
Many Plainfield residents commute to nearby communities or New York City for employment. Other residents own local businesses, work for small companies in the area or work with the local government and school districts.
Because 50 percent of households in Plainfield are renter-occupied, those searching for Plainfield rentals should have no problem finding a beautiful apartment home. According to U.S. Census data, the median gross rent in Plainfield was $1,101 in 2010.
Plainfield's proximity to New York City gives it a slightly high cost of living, registering 116.4, or, 16.4 percent higher than the national average. However, Plainfield's up-and-coming nature makes it a great investment opportunity, as its living costs are lower than those of neighboring cities. The cost of living in nearby Westfield and South Plainfield are 121 and 123.4, respectively.
Plainfield's historic Drake House Museum is the former home of the late Isaac Drake, an early patriot and Plainfield resident. Built in 1746, the home was the site of George Washington's personal meetings with his officers during and after the Battle of Short Hills.
