Help me find this type of hardwood~
Hi, I am trying to get some engineered or regular hardwood flooring for my new apartment. I am looking for this type of color and can't seem to find it anywhere, the color is black (may look black-grey under reflection) and it doesn't have the wood texture on them, it has a smooth look to the finish. Please help me out here!! thanks
hi prissy...for flooring, there's Blackwood (indian rosewood) which is very dark. black walnut, again very dark. but both will show grain. the densest wood i've ever used that was pure black and shows no grain is ebony. never seen an ebony floor though..... but of course, there are other materials and stained flooring as well...
not right off hand, no, but there are lots of good flooring guys here that will chime in anytime, i'm sure. Po)
Or can you guys recommend me some online shop or some stores in NY Queens where I can buy some hardwood flooring beside homedepot and lowes?
i'd trust these guys over hd or lowes. go with solid hardwood if you ever plan on refinishing them.

I made it as per the recipe except I just spread the jam enough to cover the base like others suggested and I only had shredded coconut so I used that instead. I also didn't have the right size pan so I used a quiche dish because that was the closest I could find. Everyone loved it and it was easy to make but it did take time from start to finish because of the two lots of cooking and one lot of cooling in the middle but I made the topping while the base was cooking which saved some time. Don't do what I did and turn the oven off by habit after the first lot of cooking! The base was quite sturdy around the edges but pretty crumbly in the middle. Not sure if it needed more cooking or not. I hadn't pre heated my oven completely so I cooked it 10 mins more at the start that I was supposed to anyway. I cut the pieces quite small so the crumbling didn't matter as much and also it's a better size for my kids who loved helping me make it!
One of our regular lunchbox treats
I followed the recipe as is except I found I had to add more flour than stated to the base and it just seemed to wet and I'm glad I did! Used the stated amount of jam (homemade apricot) and I think this amount was just fine. Lovely slice, hubby likes it. Looking forward to taking it into work for morning tea tomorrow :)
This is divine, but I don't know what sort of slab pan everyone else is using but the base only JUST covered my pan and was SO thin!!! After it finished we sliced it up and as you picked it up to eat it the whole slice just crumbled as the base could not support the weight of the rest of the slice. Unless I was using the wrong size pan (wich I am 99% sure I wasn't) then the base needs to be doubled. Other than that though, the taste is just beautiful. I also spread enough jam to cover the base and it was perfect. Thanks for a great recipe.
Was in the mood for something sweet, and baked this. Followed the advice and only used enough jam to cover the base. It is really yummy! Hubby can't wait for it to cool down and is currently eating a piece while it is still warm. Very easy to make with ingredients that is in every pantry. Recommend this to anyone'
This was so easy, took no time at all even with the kids help! Didn't measure the jam just put a even coat over the base. Fantastic for a quick tasty treat
Didn't like the base, wasn't light enough. Would look at other versions of the recipe if I was to make again.
I would halve the amount of jam in this recipe. I used raspberry jam and it was too much - too sweet and very drippy. The base and topping were great - however definitely use much less jam.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Wonderfully exuberant raspberry, cassis and blackberry fruit is complimented with cedar, clove, nutmeg, dark chocolate and vanillin aromas and flavors. An elegant wine with smooth supple tannins, perfect acid balance and a long lingering finsh.

All the vineyards used in this wine are from well drained low vigor sites. Because these thin rocky sites drain away our spring rains so quickly the vines and their berries stop growing early in the season. Only the small berries produced from sites such as these can make wines intense enough to become our Reserve. The mountain top Atlas Peak and cool climate Coombsville and Carneros vineyards provide deep color and focused fruit while the Calistoga and Oakville blocks bring elegance and openly expressive fruit. All our vineyards require extensive hand work to manage correct shoot positioning, crop load and sun exposure. During harvest our winemaker spends 40% of his time inspecting and tasting our vineyards so that everything is handpicked at the peak of ripeness.
"Ripe blueberry jam aromas with a hint of mintiness. Loaded with black cherry fruit along with fine sandpaper tannins. While there is plenty of charm and accessible fruit in this Cab, youthful tannins and acids do surface in the finish." 91 Points The Wine News

I've got that part, but it's driving me crazy trying to figure out what that portfolio page is doing there - based on one site linking, none others even similar linking, and the site is *nothing* whatsoever about that - only reference is in that one place, one time. BOTH of the aspects mivox mentioned should be figured in for theming to place it there, and one is totally missing. The question is, how much weight can one site linking possibly have? This page is like totally irrelevant being there, except for one paragraph on one page with what amounts to one reciprocal link with a site in a totally different type of category - the category it's listed in. A link from one site put it there? OK..one other site linking contains the the second word on one page in the four word specific phrase - it still doesn't compute.

► Rheb1, but not Rheb2, is essential for mTORC1 signaling ► Rheb1 and Rheb2 are not essential for mTORC2 signaling ► Rheb/mTORC1 signaling is a positive regulator of postnatal myelination in the brain
mTor kinase is involved in cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. The roles of mTor activators, Rheb1 and Rheb2, have not been established in vivo. Here, we report that Rheb1, but not Rheb2, is critical for embryonic survival and mTORC1 signaling. Embryonic deletion of Rheb1 in neural progenitor cells abolishes mTORC1 signaling in developing brain and increases mTORC2 signaling. Remarkably, embryonic and early postnatal brain development appears grossly normal in these Rheb1f/f,Nes-cre mice with the notable exception of deficits of myelination. Conditional expression of Rheb1 transgene in neural progenitors increases mTORC1 activity and promotes myelination in the brain. In addition the Rheb1 transgene rescues mTORC1 signaling and hypomyelination in the Rheb1f/f,Nes-cre mice. Our study demonstrates that Rheb1 is essential for mTORC1 signaling and myelination in the brain, and suggests that mTORC1 signaling plays a role in selective cellular adaptations, rather than general cellular viability.

Like any keen music student, nine-year-old Ally Prasitdamrong practises every day.
She parades her tiny violin for a small audience at her Palmerston North home, then sweeps aside a curtain of dark hair to reveal the much smaller and considerably more complicated instrument affixed to her scalp.
A magnet connects a macaroni-shaped wheel of plastic to a chip buried under the skin just above her ear. The implant stimulates slumbering microscopic hairs in her ear and an electrical current makes the sensory hair cells stand on end, sending frequency messages to Ally's brain that translate to sound.
The piano-tinkering, violin-playing girl who dreams of one day joining an orchestra was born profoundly deaf.
Ally had not even begun to crawl before Christine Prasitdamrong realised there was something about her daughter that just didn't add up.
"In a three-month weekly check-up a nurse laid her down on the floor and her head wouldn't lift. That was the first tell-tale sign."
"She had lumbar punctures and all sorts of things. At the end of seven months they said 'we think this baby is deaf'."
"I was told not to expect her to walk," Mrs Prasitdamrong recalls. "That was one of the possibilities. Doctors try to prepare you for anything."
Seventeen months and a trip to Christchurch later, baby Ally was the recipient of a brand new pair of cochlear implants.
The Government fund one implant per child and despite the $50,000 price tag, the family made the call to invest in a second.
"So she has got a public ear and a private ear, so to speak."
Today, no-one, let alone Ally herself, really knows whether her cochlear implants give her the full aural menu. But they enable the young girl to share in the soundtrack of the world around her with her fully-hearing brother and sister.
What doctors and her family do know is that Ally can hear well enough to have won first place in the restricted strings class category of the Manawatu Performing Arts Competition, and to achieve her Grade one violin examinations with distinction.
Ally swims, showers and sleeps without the implants.
"There have been occasions when I've been having a go at her sister and she didn't want to be a part of it, so she just switches off completely, and because she has got long hair, sometimes I can't see," Mrs Prasitdamrong says, while Ally giggles at her mother's description.
"Sometimes I put them away at night and my sister gets really annoyed because I can't hear her," Ally says.
Her younger brother clangs a toy and Ally responds, distracted by the sudden noise.
"She has trained over the years to listen and to focus," Mrs Prasitdamrong says. "There used to be a point and time when she first got the implant, two years of her life when all sound came at her at once and it would have been hard for her. We hear [things] going on but we block the white noise out.
"She can't. It's quite overwhelming. So all these specialist teachers had to work really hard to train her to be a more sophisticated listener."
Ally is not in the least self-conscious about her implants, which she complements with a neat baby-pink headband.
Her friends are just as appreciative of her implants, she says.
Ally's teachers at Carncot School use transmitters that enable them to speak straight to her implants, ensuring she can block out background noise to focus on the lesson at hand.
Mrs Prasitdamrong recalls the time when the family had to choose on Ally's behalf whether the toddling girl should embrace a life of silence and sign language, or be given the chance to hear.
"I'm sure every parent would want the best for their children. But obviously Ally has been given a lot of opportunity," she says. Listening as her daughter plays her favourite tune, Judas Maccabeus by Handel, Mrs Prasitdamrong has no doubt they made the right choice.
"Ally is also that sort of kid that would live life to the fullest. She wouldn't turn down an opportunity."

Although the media is focused on the conflict with Hamas in Gaza, the fighting within Syria has been spilling over the Heights in Golan. Syrian opposition fighters have occupied villages bordering the DMZ, resulting in counter attacks by Assad's army. Israel must defend itself from the weapons of both factions. If
this wouldn't be enough for most military forces, Iran supposedly is much closer to their nuclear goal than previously thought. Although political decisions are second and third guessed in Israel, nobody disputes the the qualifications of their Defense Minister,former Chief of Staff and Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Barak is the most decorated soldier in Israel's history, which has been one fight after another for survival. Born on a Kibbutz, he commanded an important tank brigade during the Yom Kippur War.

Dinner! 2014
Posted 08 February 2014 - 01:36 PM
basquecook, your posts are endlessly thought-provoking (not just mouth-watering). Flipping the chops several times - something I never thought of. I always do high heat 4-5 minutes per side and if they're not cooked through, add some vermouth, cover and steam for a couple a minutes. Those look like good chops too - Berkshire black pig? Mangalitsa?
Chinese chives with wood ears and dried shrimp

patrickamory, that looks good. There seems to be more than just dried shri mp in the Chinese chives dish you show though - what was it? Pork bits? The wood ears - I presume that would be wood ear fungus - are not clearly visible - I suppose you used just a bit?
I hope you ate this with white rice. :-)
Also, what did you do with the chopped-up Chinese long beans?
Posted 08 February 2014 - 06:08 PM
Two dinners that I thought ought to have been better than they were.
Pork chops in cherry balsamic glaze, roasted broccoli with pecans, and home fries. I overcooked the broccoli, and the cherry balsamic glaze was not as good as I thought it should be.
Poule au pot. I could've used a bigger pot.
I thought this wound up tasting bland; the sage and garlic came through, but the bacon did not. And when I first carved the chicken, it was still bloody around the leg joint, so I finished it in the oven, thus the crispy skin. Chicken was good; butternut squash were mushy; potatoes were just OK.

the grocery store across the street from my house, is starting to get classy.. organic produce, meats and edible seafood.. I often watched the fish tags on the mussels.. up until 6 months ago, the same bag of mussels would sit for maybe three weeks before being tossed out. We now have oysters, fresh clams, mussels that were pulled on 2/4…
Bought 16 clams, 6 oysters, 1/4 pound of shrimp from the grocery..i wanted squid but, it smelled off that phosphate crap.
Some mushroom stems and shallots in pork fat gotten tossed in oil with the rice.. vermouth, sazon, water, 12 cloves of garlic, bay leave, tomato paste was the boiling stock for the rice. No bacon or any Spanish sausage, I just had some Chinese sausage.. so, i tossed that in.
Peas at the end and a gremolata of parsley, lemon rinds, garlic and chile flakes.. I wanted fregola, miss A felt like rice… the whole thing took less than 45 minutes to shop for and make. They shut off our water so, a one pot meal worked
here it is cooking
while the quality of the seafood was not the greatest, the rice was so good.
To start, Miss K requested a Caesar. Boston lettuce was the nicest looking. mayo, red wine vinegar,a punch of parm,worcestershire,tabasco, lemon and pepper. no garlic. croutons baked in an oven.

Something in the filling threw off water during the day it spent held in the fridge, and thinned out the sauce. Some adjustment needed.

Robirdstx – I really like the sound of Asiago and almond meal chicken! Would you share the recipe?
Hi Kim. Thank you for asking and welcome back. The recipe is very simple. For the breading, I mixed 1/4 cup almond meal, 2/3 cup grated asiago, 1/4 tsp. granulated garlic, and fresh ground black pepper to taste. I pounded the boneless breasts to make them thin and even in thickness. I beat one large egg and dipped the chicken in the egg to coat, then laid the chicken pieces on the breading mix and turned and pressed to get an even coating. Then I covered the breaded chicken and put it in the fridge to rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the breading to stick. When ready to cook, I added just enough olive oil to a medium hot non-stick pan to cover the bottom of the pan. Then I gently placed the chicken in the pan and cooked them for several minutes on each side until browned. This recipe works just as well with parmesan or Romano cheese. I have also used just plain flour or panko crumbs instead of the almond meal. The panko gives a nice crunch.

Mm84321 – the venison looks so good!
Blether – I don't remember when was the last time I saw a chicken pie that looked so yummy.
Basquecook – You are very good in making seafood dishes. They are always well plated too.
Ashen – I think that cast iron pot does something wonderful to the dish.
Kayb – Yes you need to get a bigger pot, so that you can invited me to taste that Poule au pot..
Patrickamory – I love Chinese chives; the green kind, the yellow kind and the chive scapes.
Kim – So nice to have you back cooking..
Franci – are those soup buns? Or just meat buns? Very skillful pleading.

Blether: I'm dying. Any kind of savory pie is one of my favorite things and we don't get them often here in the US. That looks amazing.
huiray: Good eye. I made the chives twice - once with dried shrimp and wood ear, and once with bacon. I accidentally posted the bacon photo. Here it is with shrimps and fungus. (And the green beans were dry-fried Sichuan style with pork - but the finished dish didn't photograph well.)

Chicken with chiles – Marinate chicken thigh chunks with dark and light soy sauce, salt, and Shaoxing wine. Deep-fry the chicken and set aside. Gently stir-fry ginger and garlic, and then add dried chiles and Sichuan peppercorns. Add chicken and scallion whites, and finish with a little chicken stock, pinch of sugar, and sesame oil. Served over jasmine rice.
Long beans in ginger sauce – Boil long beans until crisp-tender, drain under cold water, and toss with a sauce of minced ginger, Chinkiang vinegar, cicken stock, salt, and sesame oil.

SO many beautiful meals to warm my heart on the cold winter days (windchill most days at -45C!)

Jerk chicken with coconut rice and peas. Used Kenji Alt-Lopez's method from seriouseats.com where bay leaves and allspice berries are used to smoke the chicken in lieu of pimento wood.
Given all the trouble, I would have rather had pimento wood. Still, turned out okay.

Kay – too bad about the pork chops. I agree, that sauce sounds perfect!
Basquecook – the seafood/rice dish looks wonderful, but I'm with Miss K – that Caesar looks fantastic!
Blether – beautiful pie!
Robirdstx – thanks for the welcome and for the recipe. Can't wait to try them!
Dcarch – that hangar steak is so beautiful – it looks perfectly cooked and so tender.
Ann – your bagels and smoked salmon would disappear with barely a chew in this house! So good.
Dinner last night was leftovers from dishes made for a potluck at church:
Paula Deen's Oriental Salad – hugely popular at church – folks kept going back to it. And a casserole called Michigan Beans & Sausage:
It just looks like baked beans with kielbasa, but tastes much better than that. It is really easy to make and can even be done in the slow cooker.

Chicken with ginger: Marinate chicken with dark and light soy sauce and salt. Gently stir-fry sliced ginger, add the chicken, chile flakes, and Shaoxing wine, and stir-fry until golden. Add chicken stock and long beans, reduce heat, and simmer until sauce is reduced. Finish with sliced scallions and sesame oil. I forgot about the scallions until after I took the picture. Oops.

So, after 30 days of not drinking, I broke the streak with a 2009 Gaja. That's a good way to do it. I took a leg of lamb out of the freezer on Sunday and then my week got crazy.. I ended up inviting some people for dinner last night..
We started with mussel pasta.. This was really nice.. Sweated some shallots in butter and olive oil.. Then I added some garlic and jalapeno peppers.. Then, I took the mussels out once they opened and deshelled them.. Added some milk that had anchovies soaking in it to the pasta sauce, the the spaghetti, then the mussels, red pepper, parsley and finally some toasted white bread crumbs.
Not the prettiest photo.
People went nuts over this. My one guest told me I should package it. I don't think canned spaghetti would be successful.. I served a little pasta water in a glass with a spoon. I was making the pasta and right at the end, one of my guests stepped in and poured everything into a bow, thinking they were helping.. I hadn't finished with pasta water and olive oil.. So, instead of scolding them, I just casually served the pasta water on the side and had people help themselves.. It worked out perfectly.
Caesar Salad:
Golden egg potatoes
Broccoli rabe.. cooked in garlic and oil.. i then added sherry vinegar and tarragon. (trying to use up the last of the tarragon)interesting combo
Leg of lamb that our cousins raised, topped with a balsamic glaze.

Catch up with An Adventure In Space Of Time, our drama telling the story of the birth of Doctor Who, and the people who created it, with BBC iPlayer here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01kqt9x
This scene just punched me in the gut. The only thing I could think - while crying my heart out - was 'I wish this had actually happened, that William Hartnell could have seen what the programme would become, how after 50 years it was still going and touching so many people'. How people today recognise the enormous role he played in making the programme last, making it something unique and special. How there are still people who fall in love with his Doctor and, if they ever had the chance, would so very dearly want to tell him what he means to them. Mark Gatiss did a magnificent job with this, a wonderful tribute to the origin of Doctor Who.

text: Hello. I would like to ask a question concerning the inner workings of CCL, which was prompted by the following events. I was recently experimenting with transient object classes, i.e. classes which are created dynamically and exist only as long as they have instances. (This has some affinity with how prototype-based object systems work.) One evident approach here is to create anonymous classes using (MAKE-INSTANCE 'STANDARD-CLASS) and operate on them using MOP capabilities. What I found out, however, was that this approach has serious performance issues. To abstract away unnecessary details, I conducted the following experiment: 1. Generate a grove, G, which is a list of conses (KEY . VALUE) where KEYs are symbols and VALUEs are either strings or nested groves. A good size of groves for our purposes would be in the thousands of nodes. 2a. For G (and, recursively, for each of its subgroves), create C: an anonymous STANDARD-CLASS whose DIRECT-SLOTS are named after G's KEYs and which is a subclass of STANDARD-OBJECT. 2b. Do (REMOVE-DIRECT-SUBCLASS (FIND-CLASS 'STANDARD-OBJECT) C), so that DIRECT-SUBCLASSES of STANDARD-OBJECT do not bloat. 2c. Create an instance of C and set its slots to the VALUEs consed on G's respective KEYs. 3. Repeat steps 2a-2c several times (for the same G), measuring the runtime. The Lisp code for the experiment and the transcript are attached herewith. To summarize, the runtimes were extremely unstable, rising from 1½ sec. on the 1st iteration to 49 sec. on the 16th, then quickly dropping to 7 sec. and rising again, and so on. (I have run the test in Darwin console mode to exclude that other software appropriates processing cycles; and it doesn't look like the time was being spent on GC.) Evidently, there is something in the underlying system that causes the runtimes to veer, and I don't quite understand what that is. I would truly appreciate if someone who knows the implementation satisfied my curiosity about what is going on here. (Whether it can be fixed on the user side is also of no little interest.)

Our family booked 6 rooms at the hotel during State Fair because our usual hotel was booked. The rooms were very clean which is important to us. Our standard room had two queens, couch, microwave and small fridge. The beds were arranged that one was so close to the wall that you could only get in and out on one side and butted the air conditioner. Everything in the room worked although the internet was a little slow. The lobby and reception areas were clean and pleasant looking. The checkin and checkout went smoothly and the girls were neat in their appearance and dress. Unless you're familiar with the area or have GPS getting to the hotel could be a little tricky. The breakfast is your average hotel breakfast, nothing fancy but adequate. There is nothing around the hotel such as shopping, restaurants, gas stations, entertainment, etc. It is basically isolated in a business section on the northwest side of Milwaukee approximately 10 miles from State Fair park. The only retaurant within walking distance is a Ruby Tuesday. The group decided to go back to our previous hotel just because of its closeness to State Fair park and it;s surroundings.

This paper documents significant trading by insiders around a first-time debt covenant violation disclosure in an SEC filing.

Physician productivity is an important driver of key healthcare outcomes, such as quality of care, treatment costs and patient satisfaction, because physicians influence a vast majority of treatment decisions, and are central to the care delivery process.

This paper offers new findings on the relation between auditor dismissals and resignations and audit fees. Unlike the prior research, which studies the fees of auditors after an auditor change, UC Davis Professor Paul Griffin and co-author David H. Lont from the University of Otago, Dunedin focus on audit fees before an auditor change. Their evidence shows that incumbent auditors charge unusually higher fees at least one year prior to an auditor change event. The existence of unusual fee adjustments by incumbents may serve as a precursor of such events.

Hunter of Baylor University and Sara Jansen Perry from the University of Houston were interested in intra-organizational dynamics impacting the context in which scientists and engineers work.

Carl Pettit is a columnist, editor and writer working for an array of colorful publications. He specializes in cultural and social issues, as well as East Asia, politics and satire.
The holidays can bring out people's stranger sides, and Thanksgiving is no exception.
The season of the witch is upon us. Time to brush up on your history—these evil green-skinned sorcerers aren't necessarily what you think. For example, they aren't evil, green-skinned or sorcerers. (Well, maybe some are, but not usually.)
If you still haven't had your fill of Halloween trivia, we have a few more fun and eyebrow-raising spooky holiday facts for you. October 31 is a day—and especially a night—full of spine-tingling surprises. With a bit of Halloween knowledge under your belt, you can impress your friends, as well as the ghost and ghouls wandering around your neighborhood, with your detailed knowledge of jack-o'-lanterns and creepy, All Hallows' Eve history.
If you love volleyball and just can't get enough in, why not consider building a proper volleyball court in your backyard?
Car designers are hard at work coming up with some incredible, futuristic-looking automotive designs, some of which may be racing down your street in the years ahead.
Getting a solid apprenticeship or a college education is almost always a good idea for anyone traveling down the career path. The problem arises when you have to decide between several different options. While anyone with a strong skill set (blue- or white-collar) should be fairly employable, it's just a basic fact that some vocations are more in demand these days than others. It often depends on where, and especially when, you live.
Tax season comes and goes every year, to the dread and relief of many a taxpayer. Even if you've taken care of your taxes this year, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be mindful of potential tax deductions you can claim for your next round with the government in the year to come.
Life is an amazing gift when you stop and think about it. Out of all the things that are living, you get to be you—which is a lot better than being a sea slug, for example. In order to ensure that you get the most out this life and as many years as you possibly can, you need to take good care of your body—that vessel that lets you breathe air, eat food, meet your friends at restaurants and get about in general.
There are all kinds of strange eateries out there, ranging from opera-themed bistros to cafes swarming with cats, as well as diners built inside of the fuselages of old airplanes. While we understand that some people just want a simple, peaceful meal when they head out, others like a little something extra special.
Cats and dogs, while extremely lovable, are not the only choices out there when it comes to selecting a household pet. There are quite a few unusual animals in existence that actually make good, even great companions for their human owners. We're not talking man-eating tigers or wild boars here—there are some limits to just how exotic you should go.
For a country as obsessed with weight and food production as ours is, there tends to be a lot of conflicting information, health-food fads and dietary gimmicks circulating about what and how we should eat.
Some people don't mind handing over their hard-earned cash for some very expensive jewelry. While we have nothing against treating yourself to pricey ornaments on occasion, there are more economical ways to go about procuring a vast inventory of fashionable accessories.

Some shows can survive main actor changes such as Law and Order. Others cannot. I don't think Gray's Anatomy will be able to survive if Meredith, Derek, Christina or Alex left. Also, it would be the same without Bailey or the Chief. While the other actors have become important, there was a time when there was a Gray's Anatomy without them. Also, it depends on whether they can substitute some of the actors with actors with more charisma. The show has certainly survived without Izzy and George and Dr. Burke.
Speaking for myself... Grey' Anatomy is actually about the 5 INTERNS (the actual M.A.G.I.C ... which is reduced to only M.A.C now :/) so until even one of them is on board.. i m going to watch!
That said, Ellen Pompeo is the star of the show.. I believe the show will lose its direction without her.. Lexie is a great character and Chyler does an awesome job playing it... but it would take a lot more than just a similar surname to run this show.. although not ruling out the possibility as i m a Lexie fan...( but with Mcsteamy please :P )
and if they make Callie the main thing again.. i swear i m gonna go bailey on these grey writers! We get that sad grown up attending Drama in Private Practice, Grey's is about the Life of residents! Even the guy , George, for whom callie was introduced at the first place is gone!
and I know i'm Rambling... so excuse me :P
NO WAY. There's absolutely no way I'm watching grey's without merder. The show strews with them, and if it doesn't finish with them leaving, then it would certainly be over for me. I love Mark and lexie, but I'll watch if thy get bak together. I'm just not watching grey's and going it more rating when there's no patrick or Ellen. Again, Bo way
I confess it would be hard to losing Christina/Sandra, but my heart would not be able to continue without Mer/Der. Granted there is better stories than season 7. I truly hated last season, I have been a true GA fan since it began, but I have no reason to continue with it if Mer/Der exit.
I wouldn't mind a parting of the ways for Mer/Der. They have gotten a little stale in the last couple of seasons for me anyway..I would like to see mer/mark mer/jackson or even mer/alex or mer and someone new. mer could get closer to lexie in place of cristina.. maybe teddy or callie also..i don't know really. i think the show would miss cristina more than derek.. i would like to give grey's a chance for season nine and maybe beyond .. but the writers will have to step up to the plate...The alex ratting out meredith really was not well thought out.. i hated it.
I already said so and I'll say it again: I absolutely will no longer watch Grey's if there is no MerDer. It just woun't ever be the same for me.
Grey's Anatomy WAS amazing, now it's good and I think if it will go on any longer (especially without THE Grey's characters) it will be just... bad. And I actually think it should end as the great show it was and still is.

After 20 years, art park contains many treasures — chief among them is its founder, Dorothy Riester
May 15, 2011, 6:00AM
I spent a sunny afternoon with Dorothy Riester at Stone Quarry Hill Art Park last week. Dorothy, who will be 95 years old this November, is a community asset.

Air-1: Unaffordable Luxury - County helicopter is redundant, costly, unsustainable and unneeded

How to Change a Nintendo DS Case?
While the Nintendo DS Lite offers gamers limited color selection options, third parties sell Nintendo DS cases designed to trick out your handheld gaming device. From transparent cases that offer a see-through view of the Nintendo DS's inner workings to bling-worthy rhinestone-studded cases, gamers can customize the DS to suit their personal style. Of course, finding a Nintendo DS case that's aesthetically appealing is only the beginning of the challenge. The intricate process of changing your Nintendo DS case can be intimidating, but with attention to detail, you can install your customized case and amp up your gaming experience.
- Remove the battery cover. Use your Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the battery cover. Next, lift the GBA cover. Finally, remove the battery pack and place all removed items into a bowl, so as not to lose parts during the case changing process.
- Remove the bottom case to unveil the inside workings of the DS. Refer to Figure 2 in the diagram in order to remove the screws, using the tri-wing screwdriver to remove the red-circled screws, a Phillips screwdriver to remove the green screws, and a flathead screwdriver to remove screws marked with blue. Once all screws have been released, lift the lid of the case bottom.
- Release the motherboard. Remove the screw securing the motherboard. Examine the wire orientations. Notice the Wi-fi wires which run from the Wi-fi jack under the DS card adapter and terminate on the other side. Refer to Figure 1 and note the wires originating at the microphone jack. Finally, examine the Left and Right triggers and their attached wires. Note these wire positions for future steps so that you can reposition the DS wires in their original orientation as you reconstruct the gaming device in future steps. Remove the antenna and microphone wires to release the Nintendo DS motherboard.
- Complete the motherboard release. Flip the motherboard away from you towards the table. Remove the mic and antenna jacks. Use a flathead screwdriver to apply gentle pressure underneath the jacks to release the motherboard. Gently snap the black bar which secures the flatwire to the motherboard towards you, using extremely gentle force as the flatwire is fragile and breaks easily. Remove the flatwire to release the motherboard completely.
- Free the top screen from bottom case. Push the flatwire into the narrow slot in the upper left of your view in order to free the wire. Pull the top screen back carefully, which will cause the flatwire to slide out of the slot.
- Replace the DS triggers and mechanisms. Push the wire out of the "U"-shaped slot of the trigger and lift each trigger out from the case. Attach your new triggers, taking care that the inner spring mechanism is oriented correctly as shown in Figure 3, placing Piece A back into the slot and ensuring Piece B retains tension.
- Set aside your case-in-progress and ready your new case with components. First, attach the stylus holder to your new case. Next, replace the battery screw tap and the GBA slot, gently prying them free from the old case with your crafting knife.
- Transfer the power light onto the new case. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two securing screws and lift the power light from the old case. Guide the angle adjuster, located underneath, out of its seat using pliers.
- Release the top case panel. Use your art knife to remove the panel and peel back the screen cover. Remove the four screws which are securing the top panel. Orient the face of the panel like a book and push away from you with your thumbs on top of the piece. Release the panel, listening for a click that will indicate success.
- Dislodge and transfer the LCD mechanisms to the new case. Turn the top panel over so that the speakers, flatwire and antenna are revealed. Remove the speakers and washers in order to gently snap the LCD panel from its seat. Remove the LCD mechanisms and place them into the new case.
- Begin the reassembly process into your new DS case, following Steps 9 through 1 in reverse. Ensure that when replacing the flatwire, you twist it 1 1/2 times in order to seat it into its cavity. Take care that you slip the microphone (white) wire and the antenna wire into the cavity as you reassemble the DS.
- Transfer the LCD panel and speakers into the new case. Gently secure the LCD panel with light pressure. Take care to reinsert all wires into their original positions. Ensure that when you resecure the top screen, you replace the "o-ring" that came off during top screen removal. Make sure to insert the ring through the black and white wires and the flat wire as you replace it, pushing it into the cavity until it secures. Once the o-ring is reseated, secure the top cover to hold internal mechanisms inside.
- Begin replacing the final hardware. Reattach the flatwire so that it is secured to the DS motherboard. Replace all screws and their rubber covers, wherever applicable. Join the top panel to the bottom panel and reinstall the flatwire gently. Secure the back of the bottom case, referring to the Figure 2 diagram for screw placement.

- 1 x Silicon Case Cover for NDSL

I got a light blue one,and seeing that I don't want it to get dirty, I ordered the case and it snapped right on. It covers most of the DS nicely, except for where you have the volume, game slot...all the neccesary holes. It looks good, and I know the case will keep my DS in perfect condition for at least a couple of years.
