Beyerdynamic DTX 102 iE In-Ear Headphones (Silver)
"TL;DR : Don't be lazy, I already made the review super short Let's just keep this short, I got the MMX102IE (same version just with a mic and 1 button remote) for about 40$ cuz of a discount (You could still get it at about 70$ in my country) I will be judging from 4 aspects : Design, Build Quality, Comfort, and Sound Quality Design (4 out of 5) Decent design, doesn't scream..." --Zero Decibels
Beyerdynamic XP1
"Before I begin with my review of the Beyerdynamic XP1, all of the below are solely what I've managed to get out of the IEM, I suggest to try it out or read some other people's review to get a clearer picture of the IEM, as my opinions are not absolute and other ears might have listened differently. Sound: First of all, this IEM is one of the three IEM that Beyerdynamic released..." --SawItComing

Beyer Dynamic DTX 100 SW Premium in Ear Buds (Black)
" Beyerdynamic's dtx100 is their top of the line dynamic driver iem. It has a bass driven sound very similar to the 60/80 which is a signature I like. Bass heads may be left wanting as will detail freaks but they are fun with a punchy attack and very user friendly. They exhibit marginally less bass than the 80's but extension is, if anything, better, as is clarity. Because of this bass..." --Marcus_C
beyerdynamic DTX 101 iE Earphones
" In short: + Stylish looks + Comfortable + Powerful bass reproduction, flat but present mids, rolled off yet detailed and even sparkly highs, usually good separation + EQ-able +- "Dark" sound signature, tends to favor the bass and lower mids. Not perfectly analytical nor overly musical +- Best for pop and pop/rock - Lack of sub-bass detail, bass can be boomy - Impact not consistently..." --Shonen84

Beyer Dynamic DTX 80 SW Premium in Ear Buds (Black)
" The price point for the DTX 80 at the time I bought them, was in Denmark, roughly USD 80, making it a competitor to certain Sennheiser CX- and MX-series, Klipsch Image S4, and the cheaper Sony XBA-series. Tested on: - iPhone 4 & iPhone 5 - LA DAC 100 - M-Audio Firewire Solo Accessories supplied in the box: 3x buds (S, M, L) and simple carrying..." --jakobdam
Beyer Dynamic DTX 60 SW Premium in Ear Buds (Black)
"Beyerdynamic's dtx60 is a dynamic driver iem sitting below the dtx80/100 in the range. It has a bass focussed sound which may be fine for some people but I don't enjoy massive bass when there is little definition which is what this earphone is lacking in that department. Mids and vocals are fairly well presented however and come across as good for the price. Highs to me seem harsh rather than..." --Marcus_C

|Moral :
|Near the end of the episode, Data claims that the evidence supports the idea that it is gravity that is pulling the ship and the 2-D lifeforms into the string. Yet all the way through we are told that the ship is drifting at a constant speed towards the string. If gravity is pulling at the ship, then it would be accelerating rather than moving at a constant speed.

|At one point the writers of this episode considered making Troi's loss of her empathic abilities permanent.
|Quote :
|"Human intuition and instinct are not always right, but they do make life interesting." - Guinan to Troi
Troi must strugle to adapt after loosing all her empathic powers. But she may not have the time - for the Enterprise is being dragged to certain doom by something it cannot see.

2009's most collectible vehicle is... the Ford Flex?!
by Chris Shunk (RSS feed) on Dec 15th, 2009 at 1:21PM
The National Automotive History Collection (NAHC) has named the 2010 Ford Flex its most collectible vehicle of 2009, beating out seven other vehicles shortlisted for the award. The Flex is the 11th vehicle to receive the award, given by members overseeing the "world-famous" automotive collection at the Detroit Public Library. Members say the Flex won because it was the most likely vehicle to turn heads at the 2034 Woodward Dream Cruise. The Flex does have some interesting styling cues and the EcoBoost model is sold in relatively low volumes which could make it the Woody of its... Read More

When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

Whole Beast Prix Fixe: Cattail Creek Lamb
Thursday, February 21
Friday, February 22
The Restaurant at King Estate
Join us for dinner on February 21st and 22nd for a special menu showcasing a new level of sustainability from the King Estate Culinary Program: a prix fixe which offers much taste and little waste. Whole lamb will be sourced from Cattail Creek Farm for this delicious dinner.
"As chefs it is our responsibility to consider how our purchases affect the food supply of our regions. For example: if we were to order only lamb shank, then our beloved lamb rancher, John Neumeister of Cattail Creek Lamb, would have to work to find markets for all the other cuts of those lamb from which the shanks were removed. Out of respect to the lamb I would rather showcase the whole beast. We would like our guests of King Estate to know that we are as close to source of their food as we possibly could be without raising the animal ourselves." -Executive Chef Benjamin Nadolny
Shank Sous Vide in Alfalfa Hay: black trumpet mushroom, hazelnut milk, chamomile gremolata
With 2009 Domaine Pinot Gris
Chop Lollipop: mustard seed, hard apple cider, smoked horseradish

Cost is $55, or $85 with wine pairings. Gratuity not included.
Please call us at 541-942-9874, ext 132 to make your reservations. This menu will be offered in additional to the regular a la carte dinner menu, so please indicate if you'd like to enjoy the Whole Beast menu when making your reservation.

A quartet of rectangular cut natural deep blue sapphires with an estimated total weight of 1.1 carats strikes a dramatic linear pose across the surface of a quadrangle of platinum accented with a border of mille grain work.
Surrounding the brilliant blue sapphires is a rectangular frame of eighteen (18) very fine old European cut diamonds of an approximate 1.08 carat total diamond weight, I-J color range and VS2-SI1 clarity range. In combination the diamonds and deep blue sapphires just come alive with an intensity which is simply dazzling to behold.
Date: Circa 1925.
Measurements: 3/8 of an inch (1.0 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 3/16 of an inch (06 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 5.9 grams (3.8 dwt).
Ring Size: US 6 (UK L-1/2; Euro or Int. Circum. 51.8 mm; Int. Dia. 16.5 mm; Japan 11) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: 51451 (probably a design number).
Condition: Excellent; light wear to a bit of shank design particularly on an edge of one side of the shoulder.
Note: Stones were not removed to preserve the integrity of the setting. All weights are approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights. Grading may vary if stones are removed.
Educational Note: Did you know that one clue to natural sapphires is that often you can see parallel and straight zones of color? That is very difficult to see with the naked eye. However, look closely at the sapphire on the right in our first photograph and you can find the lighter and darker stripes. While a challenge person, our macro photographs have highlighted the natural property. You may be able to see that natural phenomenon if you hold the ring up to the light and look very close as well. Voila, you have just identified the stone as a natural (non synthetic) gemstone - as are all the rest!

they have an alternate allergen menu that shows what possible allergens are in each dish and there were a lot of menu items to choose from. I had no reaction whatsoever.

decent gluten free menu. make sure you ask for.it

The waiter was knowledgeable and was able to make suggestions about their menu items.

They had a separate gluten free menu. It wasn't huge but it was great being able to order a burger WITH a bun. The gluten free buns were excellent.
209 Hale Rd, Manchester, CT 06040
I had the shrimp and chicken from the gf menu. I was so sick! More cheese than vegetables. Ordered a side order of spinach $3.20, and there was lots of cheese on that. I didnt want to be a bother with asking questions. Big mistake. Next time I won't assume it ok. The price for that error was too steep!

Great allergen menu and staff will check all ingredient lists!

they has a gluten free menu, as well as a great sundae for dessert.
7814 Reynolds Rd, Mentor, OH 44060
Not that I'm a food snob, but at Friday's and similar restaurants I really just want a burger. TGIFridays has a GF bun for their burgers. It tastes good and doesn't fall apart. That's all I really want.
1480 Old Country Rd, Riverhead, NY 11901
It was very nice to sit down and have a burger on an actual bun instead of just the burger n they also have titos vodka so win win in my world. All though it sucks couldn't have French fries hopefully that will come soon!
395 U.S. 202, Bridgewater, NJ 08807
Waitress did everything to make sure I was comfortable and happy, food was good too
302 W Army Trail Rd, Bloomingdale, IL 60108
The menu is for 'gluten sensitive' people and they gave me the allergy list twice when I asked for the gluten free menu. The waiter screwed up my order and I almost ate a regular bun-good thing I made him double check. He blamed the screw-up on him not being gluten free and not being able to relate. Which is total bull. The appetizer is spinach dip served with carrots and celery. The desserts are only ice cream. Dinner choices are limited to salads, burgers, steak, and like two chicken dishes. Very disappointing and very stressful. The sizzling chicken and cheese or chicken and shrimp is very good though.
11830 Fountains Way, Maple Grove, MN 55369
I was quite impressed with my recent dinner at TGI Fridays. They had a dedicated menu for gluten intolerance. It does state on the menu that they can not guarantee cross contamination doesn't occur based on the use of the kitchen with gluten products. I ordered the chicken breast with cheese and garlic mashed potatoes. My meal came out on a cast iron plate as if they specifically cooked my meal separate from the standard grill with gluten items. The pricing was very reasonable at $11 for the entire meal. Overall, I was very impressed and had no signs of glutenning!
2333 Ridge Rd W, Rochester, NY 14626
Gf menu had alot of good choices and the gf bun tasted good and was soft like a non gf bun. I also tried the gf chicken breast and cheese and it too was delicious. I will definitely be back again
7200 W 191st St, Tinley Park, IL 60487
Lots of choices - very helpful
40 Stuyvesant Blvd, Albany, NY 12203
Not alot of options. I chose the turkey burger. It was yummy. As a side I got the tomato, mozza salad which was a very tiny portion but good too. They provided me with a seperate gluten free menu which was helpful. I would give it a 3.5 stars but I couldn't ;)
2201 Killebrew Drive, Minneapolis, MN 55425
A safe American Cuisine option in Bloomington. Located at the College Mall on the East Side. Options are consistent from City to City. Not exciting. Good for people who like safe food and picky eaters.
1 Brewers Way, Milwaukee, WI 53214
Omission GF beer, real menu, nice change since past visits.
1103 U.S. 46, Ledgewood, NJ 07852
A great gluten free menu... Lots of options
7118 S Semoran Blvd, Orlando, FL 32822
I noticed they had added a gluten free menu. I tried the ribs, with slaw and potatoes, overall very good (except potatoes). The bartender/server was friendly and informed the kitchen staff about the gluten free request. I had no issues with the food. I only deduct one star as it seems they use boxed potatoes. Oh, they are open and serving food late, around 11:30PM which was great, as I had very few GF options at that time.
880 Kidder St, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702
They have a new GF menu. It is separate from all the other allergen foods so you don't have to look at those stupid little symbols anymore. Some new items on it also. They also have Omission beer on the menu.
2445 Vestal Pkwy E, Vestal, NY 13850
Their gluten sensitive menu just came out in the past couple of weeks. I had the Jack Daniel's burger for dinner with mashed potatoes and asked that I have the gluten free bun instead of the regular. From what I have found Jack Daniel's sauce is pretty much gluten free from what people have found. I didn't have any reactions with my sensitivity. They have on the regular menu a symbol for the gluten free items but you can ask for their gluten sensitive menu as well which makes it easier to find the gluten free meals at a glance instead of hunting them down on the bigger menu.
3200 East Airfield Drive, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Irving, TX 75038
I was in Dallas Ft worth international airport Monday May 19th 2014. I was excited when I read the good reviews for the TGI Fridays in both terminal A and C but I went to the on in terminal D. I didn't have time to sit and eat there so I placed a togo order and when I asked the person working the togo counter how they prepare a gluten free burger (because the menu doesn't say) she told me: "I don't know, I put in gluten free and it comes out gluten free". I told her that this is an allergy for me thinking that they have a code or button for that so they know to change out all of the cutting boards, knives and such but she just kept repeating that she puts gluten free in and it comes out gluten free. I should have walked away at that point but I took the gamble that the people in the back knew what they where doing. When my burger came out with fries I should have left the food and gotten my money back but I didn't have time to go anywhere else. I told her to take out the fries and then I cut the part of the burger off that was touching the fries. I still got sick, I got really sick, I'm still sick from it and its been 4 days. That was the worst glutening I've had in a while. Maybe their regular wait staff know what their doing but their togo people sure don't or maybe I just got their most incompetent employee (she thought wheat was gluten free)
Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport, Terminal C, Gate C8, 3200 East Airfield Drive, Irving, TX 75038
Gluten free or items that can be modified are marked on the menu. Good set of options. I had a strawberry spinach salad with grilled chicken. No gf beers, but wine. :)
1840 E 3rd St, Williamsport, PA 17701
They have several entree options and sides available for those needing a Gluten Free diet.
2410 U.S. 34, Oswego, IL 60543
They have a separate allergen list and while the selection is not large suggested gluten free items (mostly steak & ribs). I got the flat iron steak and it was very tasty!
90 Pleasant Valley St, Methuen, MA 01844
Not many gluten free items to choose from. Mashed potatoes and jasmine rice were tasty
6460 Capitol Dr, Greenbelt, MD 20770
Their allergen menu was very hard to follow, because it listed every item separately, with indicators for what allergens were in each item. You have to check for the ones that do not have the wheat symbol. There were very few things that were gluten free, including a steak and shrimp. Even the salads were all marked as containing wheat, and when I asked if that was because of something like croutons which can be removed, the staff had no idea.

They have a menu upon request that has allergens listed. Also on this menu is their items for people with gluten sensitivity. The menu can be somewhat confusing but at least I know what I can and can't have

They have a seperate allergy menu and have always been very friendly as well
3495 West Division Street, Saint Cloud, MN 56301
food was good but only a few choices: (
240 Fortune Boulevard, Milford, MA 01757
They have a allergen menu which states what has basic allergens in it including wheat. The menu is confusing because you have to look for what doesn't have the symbol of wheat next to it. They have a few options but most of them are just meat like ribs or steak. I got a salad which was good but not a huge selection to choose from.
7814 Reynolds Rd, Mentor, OH 44060
They do have a GF menu, but it's very limited. I wish there were more options!
9 Brickyard Drive, Bloomington, IL 61701
Very few options that are gluten free and the waitresses don't seem to understand about food allergies.
3200 East Airfield Drive, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Irving, TX 75038
Huge selection and yummy
3200 East Airfield Drive, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Irving, TX 75038
Located at Gate 13 in redesigned Terminal A. 4 GF steaks and 1 GF pork ribs to choose from. Also about 6 sides. Menu identifies other top 8 allergens in menu items too. I had just enough time (40 min) to have ribs, ginger slaw, and mashed potatoes. Server advised steak would take too long before boarding my flight. Yummy, quick service, friendly staff.
1725 Sunrise Highway, Bay Shore, NY 11706
I was not thrilled with e gluten free options
1725 Sunrise Highway, Bay Shore, NY 11706
Gluten free menu is a joke.
9 Brickyard Drive, Bloomington, IL 61701
They have a gluten free and allergen menu. The allergen menu is nice cause I also cannot have dairy or soy. Unfortunately they have soy in ALL their menu items except broccoli. I had the spare ribs and broccoli. I felt okay.

awesome food it rocks:-)
7814 Reynolds Rd, Mentor, OH 44060
I called in advance and ask if they had a gluten free menu, and I was told they had a pretty good sized menu. When I got there, I was given an ALLERGEN menu which had a good amount of selections for other allergies, but only THREE options for GF...Two steaks ans a salad....Salad was good, but not at all happy with the selection :(
7814 Reynolds Rd, Mentor, OH 44060
I usually don't go here, but met a friend for a drink. She wanted an appetizer, but since I'm GF It looked like I couldn't eat anything. The bartender asked what was wrong & as I told him my food allergy he quickly brought out an allergen menu. It was pretty short but I'm glad they even had options! Very courteous and helpful staff.
9416 Wisconsin 16, Onalaska, WI 54650
Staff member eats GF. All staff knowledgeable about cross contamination etc.

How's Your Front Yard Looking?
How's your front yard looking?
A little bit brown due to the drought? Thinking of replacing some of your plants with drought-tolerant ones? And hoping to attract some bees, butterflies and other wildlife?
You're in luck. The UC Davis Arboretum is planning its next public plant sale this Saturday, Oct. 11. The theme is, appropriately enough, "The New Front Yard."
The plant sale will take place in the UC Davis Arboretum Teaching Nursery on Garrod Drive. It's open to members only from 9 to 11 a.m. (but if you're not a member, you can join at the door), and it's open to the general public from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
UC Davis Arboretum officials point out that many homeowners want to replace "high-water use plants with low-water alternatives" and they're going to help you. "We are going to have the area's largest selection of attractive, drought-tolerant, easy-care, region-appropriate plants including lots of California natives and Arboretum All-Stars."
They've published a list of some "attractive, region-appropriate plants that save water and support wildlife," complete with botanical names and photos. (Download PDF)
They include California buckeye, manzanitas, California pipevine, narrow leaf milkweed, Frikart's aster, Caliifornia aster, coyote brush, creeping Oregon grape, Blonde ambition blue grama grass, western spicebush, concha Ceanothus, Ray Hartman's California lilac, western red bud, Island mountain mahogany, California fuchsia, California buckwheat, St. Catherine's lace, coast silktassel, salt heliotrope, toyon, purple lantana, Goodwin Creek lavender, cape weed, monkey flower, deergrass, Hopley's purple oregano, Santa Margarita foothill penstemon, hollyleaf cherry, blue oak, California coffeeberry, pink chaparral currant, flowering currant, Santa Catalina Island currant, white sage, Cleveland sage, autumn sage, Santa Barbara sage, Cascade Creek California goldenrod, alkali sacaton, yellow autumn crocus and Roger's red grape.
Those are just a few of the plants they're offering for the plant sale.
Ah, so many choices, so little space. And one of the best parts? The bees and butterflies and other pollinators they attract.

A Streak of Gray
Are you on a winning streak? Or a losing streak? Or somewhere in between?
The Gray Hairstreak butterfly (Strymon melinus) is always on a streak--a gray streak.
Butterfly expert Art Shapiro, distinguished professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis, writes about the Gray Hairstreak on his website, Art's Butterfly World. It's one of the many butterflies in the Central Valley that he's monitored over the past four decades.
It's most common in weedy and disturbed habitats at low elevation, Shapiro says, adding that it's "territorial and a hilltopper in suitable terrain, but does very well in towns and cities in the Central Valley. It is multiple-brooded and has a very long flight season, at sea level from February to November, but rarely seen before June in the mountains where it does not appear able to overwinter."
"Its most frequent hosts in our area are mallows, including the weedy species of Malva; legumes, including Spanish Lotus (Lotus purshianus), bird's-boot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), white clover (Trifolium repens) in lawns, alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and many others;and turkey mullein (Eremocarpus or Croton setigerus, Euphorbiaceae)."
We recently spotted the Gray Hairstreak grabbing some nectar on our guara (Guara lindheimer). Its distinctive orange spot matched perfectly the color of the nearby Mexican sunflower (Tithonia).
Those of us joining naturalist Steve Daubert's butterfly talk and tour at the UC Davis Arboretum last September also spotted a Gray Hairstreak. The good news is that he's giving another "Butterfly Ecology Talk and Walk," sponsored by the UC Davis Arboretum, on Sunday, Sept. 14. It's free and open to the public. Participants will gather at 11 a.m. by the trellis at the California Native Plant GATEway Garden (newly-constructed garden at the Arboretum's east end, just behind the Davis Commons Shopping Center). (See the Arboretum calendar for more information and a map.)
"Last year at the Arboretum Butterfly Walk and Talk we talked about the co-evolution of the butterflies with the flowering plants, starting in the Middle Cretaceous," Daubert told us in an email. "This year we will set the scene farther back into the Mesozoic Era and talk about the origin of the advanced insect orders, including the Lepidoptera (the holometabolous insects). We will also talk about blue colors in the animals. And we will talk about butterfly gardening for folks here in the valley. We will be looking to see members of the five butterfly families commonly found in Davis."
Daubert is a molecular scientist in the UC Davis Department of Plant Pathology. In addition to writing scientific technical text, he writes short stories, illustrated with his own photographs. He blogs at threadsintheweb.com.

Looking for Bee Plants?
If you're thinking about adding more bee friendly plants to your garden but you're concerned about the drought, the UC Davis Arboretum has the answers.
The arboretum will host its public spring clearance plant sale on Saturday, May 17, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the UC Davis Arboretum Teaching Nursery on Garrod Drive.
You'll find a large election of Christmas natives and Arboretum All-Stars. (Members of the Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum and the Davis Botanical Society receive 10 percent off their purchases. And yes, you can join the Friends on May 17.)
One of the plants we like--as do the birds and the bees--is Kniphofia "Christmas Cheer," also known as a red hot poker and torch lily. Ellen Zagory, horticulture director of the Arboretum, describes it as "a torch lily on steriods. It gets big and puts out a large display of showy flowers in winter and long into spring."
Yes, it does.
We remember taking a photo of the Christmas Cheer on Christmas Day in the Arboretum's Storer Garden. The bees didn't know about the winter break. Neither did a finch.
Break? What break?
In a recent newsletter, Zagory wrote about some of the plants that will be available for sale.
"On campus we have fairly heavy soil and water that's high in bicarbonates and boron, so I always think…if it grows well here, it will do even better elsewhere. In light of limited water supplies and rising water prices we need to think even harder about plants that can survive with low or very low quantities of water, but they can still be pretty. You'd never know these were drought-tolerant considering the seasonal impact and drama they provide!"
The Arboretum kindly provides a list of available plants that you can download from its web page.
The bees--and the birds, butterflies and others engaged in animal/plant interactions--will thank you.

A Bad Day for a Butterfly
It was a bad day for a butterfly.
We stopped by the Ruth Risdon Storer Garden, part of the UC Davis Arboretum, at noon today as triple-digit temperatures climbed to a scorching 103.
We spotted a few cabbage white butterflies (Pieris rapae) nectaring the Verbena (Verbena bonariensis), and a few honey bees on the gaura (Onagraceae).
The cabbage whites seemed to like the Verbena. They fluttered around the blossoms gracefully, touching down like snowy princesses in winged gowns and spiked heels, belying the fact that their caterpillars are pests of cabbage, kale, radish and broccoli, mustard and other members of the family Brassicaceae.
One cabbage white, however, wasn't so lucky.
As we rounded a corner of the garden, we noticed it wasn't fluttering. It wasn't moving. It wasn't doing anything.
There was a good reason why it wasn't going anywhere.
A hungry crab spider.

Plants 'n Pollinators
If you love to watch pollinators at work in your garden--especially the honey bees and the bumble bees--first you have to provide the plants.
Promise yourself to plant pollinator plants periodically.
But which ones?
The UC Davis Arboretum staff gets asked that question a lot. As part of its 75th anniversary celebration, the Arboretum has scheduled a Member Appreciation Sale from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 9 at its plant sales nursery on Garrod Drive.
Folks can become members on the spot, and the privileges are many. "Members of the Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum and the Davis Botanical Society not only receive 10 percent off their plant sale purchases but they also receive an additional $10 of of their purchases at this sale," said Missy Gable, public engagement manager (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The Arborteum prides itself on providing "the area's largest selection of attractive, low-water, easy-care, region-appropriate plants, including Arboretum All-Stars." Live music, free refreshments and children's activities are also planned that day.
Three more spring public plant sales are upcoming (folks can become members then, too):
- Saturday, April 6 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Sunday, April 28 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Saturday, May 19 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (clearance sale)
Here are some of the pollinator plants that will be available for sale:
- Salvia clevelandii, Cleveland sage
- Saponaria x lempergii 'Max Frei', hybrid soapwort
- Leucophyllum frutescens, cenizo
- Rosmarinus officinalis 'Mozart', Ed Carman's rosemary
- Achillea 'Coronation Gold', coronation gold yarrow
- Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Little Spire', little spire Russian Sage
- Dasylirion wheeleri, desert spoon
- Salvia chamaedryoides, Mexican blue sage
- Teucrium fruticans 'Azureum', azure bush germander
- Epilobium canum, California fuchsia
- Origanum 'Betty Rollins', Betty Rollins oregano
- Salvia microphylla, Graham's sage
The plants above are among those showcased at the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology's Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, a half-acre bee friendly garden located next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on Bee Biology Road, west of the central campus.
And, have you heard about the UC Davis Arboretum Shovel Drive? At each of the plant sales, you can donate an old shovel, spade or trowel to the Arboretum for a campus/city sculpture project!
Just think, the garden tools you not longer need or want will be sculpted into something quite spectacular.

WASHINGTON - A local judge is speaking out about the day his staff defied his orders -- and saved his brain.
Lee Satterfield, the chief judge at D.C. Superior Court, suffered a stroke on Nov. 28, 2011, just two weeks before his 53rd birthday.
At first, he thought he was experiencing a bad headache. But when his staff noticed slurred speech, a colleague called 911.
"I did not think I was having a stroke, it was the furthest thing from my mind," Satterfield says. "I was telling my staff, Don't call 911. I'm fine.' But they ignored me."
Satterfield was rushed to George Washington University Hospital. By the time he got there, his symptoms were getting worse. He couldn't move one arm and his vision was compromised.
However, the window for medical intervention to reverse the most debilitating effects of the stroke was still open, and the medical team acted fast.
"He arrived within a perfect time window where he was a candidate for acute therapy," says Dr. Kathleen Burger, head of the stroke program at the hospital.
Doctors first administered a clot-busting drug. Then, they decided on surgery to extract the clot from his brain.
"Once they did it, there was immediate improvement, and I could lift my left arm," Satterfield says.
His progress was so rapid that physical therapy was not needed, and he was able to return to work two weeks later.
Satterfield says he owes his survival and quick recovery to superb medical care and quick-thinking colleagues who knew the signs of stroke and the importance of acting fast.
And that is why he is telling his story now, during National Stroke Awareness Month.
Satterfield says he understands from personal experience how important it is to know the warning signs of a stroke -- not just for oneself, but to help others.
"I want folks to know what the symptoms are so they can recognize and err on the side of being overly cautious," he says.
Those warning signs include difficulty moving an arm or leg, a face that is drooping on one side, slurred or strange speech and a sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes.
Burger says not to question whether these symptoms warrant emergency action -- just call 911.
"Don't worry about a false alarm," she says. "We would prefer to have patients come and have nothing wrong with them than miss an opportunity to treat someone who has something devastating."

National Board of Review Names HER Best Film of the Year; GRAVITY, PRISONERS, and WOLF OF WALL STREET Land in Top 10
by Adam Chitwood Posted 1 year, 17 days ago
The critics awards are off and running after the New York Film Critics Circle announced its picks for the best of the year yesterday, and today the National Board of Review has named Her the best picture of 2013. Spike Jonze was also named Best Director for the film, while the acting honors went to Bruce Dern (Nebraska), Emma Thompson (Saving Mr. Banks), Will Forte (Nebraska), and Octavia Spencer (Fruitvale Station). Always an eclectic list, the NBR's Top 10 includes The Wolf of Wall Street, Gravity, Lone Survivor, and Prisoners. Wholly absent from the Top 10 is the NYFCC's pick for Best Film, American Hustle.
The NBR winner for Best Picture has failed to match up with Oscar since 2008's Slumdog Millionaire, as last year's award went to Zero Dark Thirty, but for the past 13 years every NBR winner has landed a Best Picture nomination, so this bodes well for Her's Oscar prospects. Read the full list of NBR winners after the jump.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, March 10, 2008— Leading cinema group Marcus Theatres® has recently installed a Digital-B-Chain™ Cinema sound system in its new UltraScreen® theater in Pickerington, OH. The Digital-B-Chain system features loudspeakers from JBL Professional and amplification, networking and processing from Crown Audio.
The Pickerington UltraScreen, featuring a 70-foot-wide screen, is a brand-new 400-seat auditorium, and is Marcus Theatres' 10th Digital-B-Chain installation. The stage speakers consist of three channels of Academy Award-winning JBL ScreenArray® 4632 loudspeakers with a column of six 4642A dual 18-inch subwoofers. Additionally, the unique surround system features four JBL AC2212/00 loudspeakers on each side wall and one AM4315/95 loudspeaker in each corner. Nine Crown CT3000 amplifiers loaded with DBC network digital audio modules power the system, providing 27,000 total watts of power all with the highest resolution digital signal processing. "When I discussed the unique surround requirements with Mark Collins, I realized that the systems from JBL's Application Engineered Series, designed specifically for themed entertainment venues, would provide the ideal high powered surround effects, " said Chuck Goodsell, Director of Cinema Marketing, JBL Professional. "The Progressive Transition Waveguides™ featured in the AM and AC Series combine outstanding pattern control with undistorted natural sound throughout the auditorium."
"The system at Pickerington is similar to other Harman systems we have installed in the past, but with fewer speakers and a higher power rating," said Mark Collins, Director of Projection Technology, Marcus Theatres. "The eight AC2212/00 loudspeakers on the side walls and two AM4315/95 loudspeakers in the back corners provide great coverage, and the setup was extremely quick and easy."
Goodsell further comments, "The Harman Pro Cinema Group's Digital B-Chain technology offers unmatched control and versatility, while being optimized to perform seamlessly with Digital Cinema systems. Our continuing successful relationship with Mark Collins and Marcus Theatres is an example of Harman's ability to meet the needs of one of the most technologically advanced theater circuits in the United States."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Then there's: Spec'ing Cams by Vizard. But the article stops short (by three pages) of telling the whole story. Supposedly an abridged version is in a couple of his Chevy "how to" books. Or you can rent the complete version. Only $100/hr.
Very good article. The fine print explains much of what I am saying.
Simplifed, it tells you , its just not that simple.
At the risk of beating a dead horse, I'll just say this:
DCR is one of many tools in the engine builder's chest. And like any tool, it works best when used for what it was intended. Most guys know better than to pound a nail using a torque wrench (although sometimes I wonder); using DCR is no different.
For those interested, here is a different approach to the same concept as DCR. I've not used it yet but I'd be interested in hearing how it compares to DCR calculations made w/the "standard" DCR calculators (three are below), should anyone use it. This might be where some of the somewhat incomplete concepts posted in this thread came from, but either way this is a clearly presented case w/the math included. BTW, he uses "supra" a lot. It means basically "there's more info above".

• Kelly DCR calculator
• KB/Silvolite DCR calculator
|Her name is Shirley....
|Some of the experience I bring to this forum is a numinous yrs on forums like this one.Without question every thread reaches a point where it is doomed to repeat it's self.I have I think made my position on this topic clear.
Dynamic Compression is rooted in the fact that the intake valve closes after bottom dead center. Since your cylinder isn't sealed right away as the volume above the piston begins to decrease, you do not keep all of the air that is in the cylinder at BDC (Bottom Dead Center). What is compressed is what is left in the cylinder after the intake valve closes. This is why Dynamic Compression is always lower than Static Compression.
this statement is false and misleading.... When the engine is running at speed in its natureal best power rpm range the cylinder pressure is very high. Back pumping is little or non. On a tuned induction system engine.
( a engine with headers, cammed and developed induction ( a powerfull intake) the engine takes in more air , resulting in higher than 100% volumetric efficiently at WOT. cylinder pressure is high.
Back pumping before the inake valve closes only occurs at low rpm, when the engine is running out of its best power band. Not "on the cam".
Real running engine dynamic compression ( when its running "on the cam" @WOT) is not fixed and often and should be higher than 100% volumetrically efficient if you are any good at building and tuning engines.
induction ram effect-exhaust scavedging. A high performance tuned induction-exhaust system engine is not a simple air pump. Cylinder pressure is highest BMEP right around peak torque output rpm.
Air always flows in the direction high pressure toward low pressure relative. and it don't care which way the piston is moving in a cylinder.
In the running engine, running at speed you have a open intake valve, a rising piston and air still entering the engine.
inertia Ram effect.
Thats not possible without some compression. The air keeps moving into the cylinder from the intake port until one of two things happen. 1. the valve closes. 2. the air pressure in the cylinder is equal or higher than the air pressure just under/at the exit of the still open intake valve.
You cannot just increase the cam timing or the intake valve closing point to adjust a high compression ratio engine to run on pump gas. it is not linear-progressive. The in cylinder pressure is high at running speed.
When the engine is actually running at speed the air does start to compress before the intake valve closes when its running at speed. Why ? because the air is still moving into the cylinder as the piston is rising.
Air is only bleed off at low engine speed. The exact point of compression and therefor the net resulting in cylinder pressure and temperature is very variable in the actual running engine based on many factors besides the intake valve closing point.
While its important to give an engine enough mechanical compression ratio, it is not a linear equation.
On a real street engine that has to operate in less than idea conditions, and for longer than a quick dyno test or 1/4 mile blast after complete cool down, once you get much beyond about 10.5:1cr the chance if it running correctly on pump gas dimishes REGUARDLESS OF CAM TIMING.
Most people won't be able to use 11:1 reliably on North American pump gas.
If you buy into this DCR calc consider it EXPERIMENTAL--very limited use. And you'd best have some method of detecting or anticipating detonation
and be able to adjust the ignition timing (retard it) on the fly.
And non computer controlled (no method of knock detection and on the fly-automatic spark timing adjustment) 11:1 cr engine needs about a 98 to 100 R+M/2 octane fuel for reliable use on the street. That has not changed in real terms in 100 years of 4 stroke internal combustion engine history.
This is a direct quote copy of the text from the pat Kelly site:
Caveats: Running an engine at the upper limit of the DCR range requires that the engine be well built, with the correct quench distance, and kept cool (170º). Hot intake air and hot coolant are an inducement to detonation. The average driver has no control over this when driving in traffic. If you anticipate hot conditions, pulling some timing out might be needed. A good cooling system is wise. Staying below 8.25 DCR is probably best for trouble free motoring.
>>Unless you have actually measured the engine (CCed the chambers and pistons in the bores), these calculations are estimations, at best. Treat them as such. The published volumes for heads and pistons can, and do, vary (crankshafts and rods, too). It is best to err on the low side. When contemplating an engine of around 8.4 DCR or higher, measurments are essential, or you could be building another motor.
The underlined part is mine.
The two engines were my friends that blew up. Just as I said they would by (him/not me) buying into the DCR crap.
The 10.70:1 cr was too high for the pump gas and purpose even thou DCR theory suggested it would be fine.
I told him it was over simplifed BS that will not work and that exactly what it did. Just like I said it would.
He bought into it just like tech does.
The 12.65:1 engine was a dual fuel engine (Race gas and methanol) that was never intended to run on pump gas. I forget to reduce the timing for pump gas, one day. Get a grip. &^%% happens.
By the way I repaired it and had it back up and running in 3 days for less than the cost of a set of pistons.
1 piston new rings and a cylinder sleeve. Its still running somewhere.
This had nothing to do with driver feel.
I remember a quote from the movie Heart Like A wheel where after in the early days Sherry blew up one of her engines in her FED,Connie telling her she needed to feel the car nosing over long before the engine let go.
I know in real life how true that is.Test the limits of the parts??. We certainly do. But are real logical about how we go about that. Best lap in the 1/8 was 4.56@ 150mph. But we limited the driver to only .002 on the bottle and it was in the middle of the lap.
Oh,he doesn't have any "engine ears" on either,but most certainly a sensitive butt.
These days serious engine builders work everything out on paper before they ever order a part. then they use a scientific rigor to evaluate the results. today we also use computer controlled injection systems and computer controlled ignition systems to get as close as we can to perfect for that build. Setting up design parameters is critical to the success of the build. One of the parameters is picking the design fuel for use in the engine as an example for a street engine we use pump gas as the design fuel and work around that parameter. Power band is another so where do we want the power band to be. Is this a Tow motor or sports motor just what is the intended use of the vehicle..Once we know all of this then we build a motor to suit the intended purpose..No longer do we just throw parts at the build.
Now if you do go to an experienced engine builder most likely he has various builds saved in his data base and can most likely have a parts list for that build. For the guys stepping over the edge the we accept that sacrifices to the gods of speed will be made and we will bust some parts on the dyno or race track at times and this is the price of progress..
I am going to suggest this "old school" thinking doesn't work and I came from that time period.When the gas changed it was a game changer.That that type of thinking needed to change with it and no less the use of DCR formulas is in no small was a huge part of moving forward.Not backwards.
I am for the record suggesting with a admitted history of three damaged engines because of poor execution of the DCR's formulas is enough proof that if applied correctly wouldn't have happened.
I am also saying for the record that a DCR of no more than 8.5 is disheartening to me as well.It does sound low,doesn't it??. But it is what is. And we all have to learn to accept it or end up paying for the consequences.
There are several calculators out there that can calculate DCR for you. I've always heard target values of 8.5:1 for pump gas and 9:1 for race gas, although I'm sure that is pretty generalized and you could probably exceed that a little bit with good engine design.
Dynamic Compression is rooted in the fact that the intake valve closes after bottom dead center. Since your cylinder isn't sealed right away as the volume above the piston begins to decrease, you do not keep all of the air that is in the cylinder at BDC (Bottom Dead Center). What is compressed is what is left in the cylinder after the intake valve closes. This is why Dynamic Compression is always lower than Static Compression.
So one of the important things you need to know to calculate DCR is how long (in degrees of rotation) the intake valve stays open after the piston hits bottom dead center*.
When you are looking at your fuel you will have critical values, such as maximum pressure and temperature the fuel will take before autoignition, which is another thing to take into consideration when you get this intricate into engine design.
*Thanks to techinspector for teaching me how to do this several years ago.

I know they are almost cliche now but I am still loving chalkboard walls. The heart of the home, the kitchen, is a great place for a matte black wall that you can write on. When blank it looks really cool and rich and when all chalked up they are tres functional.
A great accent wall.
Maybe chalkboard walls are not cliche...maybe their a new classic? What do you think?
Happy Friday!
P.S. Demo has started on my little house in Hollywood Hills. The construction guys are ripping out the outside concrete and flagstone and then they'll tear out the wood floors on the inside. My neighbor just wrote me saying "Wow, looks like half your house is being dug up!". Hmmm...note to self, stop by house/construction site later today to make sure house is still standing!

My kids are begging us to make a wall off the kitchen into a chalkboard wall ever since they saw it at a friends house. I guess it can be fun but with my ocd husband he will want to control the size of the doodles...haha.ReplyDelete
This is such a great idea ...in the kitchen where everyone hangs out and can express themselves! IrisReplyDelete
Love the chalkboard in the kitchen.... great shots...ReplyDelete
Happy weekend... xv
I've always liked the idea of a chalk board wall and love the look but what about all the chalk dust?ReplyDelete
I love the look but agree it feels a little bit overdone at the moment. That said, I painted my pantry door with chalkboard paint, use it al the time and love it! xxReplyDelete

I love chalkboard walls still! I don't have any... yet. I want to make one wall in my son's room chalkboard but then I also want it in my eat-in kitchen. Then again, I've almost got my husband talked into doing it to our fridge. So. Much. Chalkboard.ReplyDelete
Why would you want more dust in the house?ReplyDelete
