It was the weekend of EverQuest 2 "Desert of Flames" Reviews!
Boomshack liked everything about the September expansion for the MMO genre's distant silver medallist except the quirky encounter-lock game mechanic. Creating a huge, gaping exploit is one way to keep the low- to mid-level game interesting I suppose.
Well I don't want to get bogged down in criticism as I really like Desert of Flames but the new mob lock system really doesn't work. It means that a guy can attack a mob, but the mob isn't locked to him, so all outsiders can then attack it. It means a level 35 can complete quests and will get credit for it just for hitting the mob the one time. For raid mobs it will be locked permanently, but not for solo heroic mobs. In my view this is a pretty bad decision by the developer.
Boomshack tries out EverQuest 2: Desert of Flames.

Thank you sir, may I have another?
Gamespy likes "Desert of Flames" but wants more low-end content. Nah, it's good business sense to develop content solely for the top 25% of your playerbase, right?
This is certainly good news for the game's most hardcore players, many of whom feel that they've been stagnating at the endgame. The newly-added Isle of Ro will provide more than enough fodder to last them several months. This focus on high-level content, though, came at a cost, as frankly, there isn't a whole lot here for low-to-mid level characters. Oh well. At least they get adventure packs.
Gamespy takes a shot at EverQuest 2: Desert of Flames.
And another!
Gamespot digs EverQuest 2's new desert turf, but is disheartened by incomplete PvP implementation and content exclusively designed for high-level players. Of course, to complain about the latter means you'll have to put yourself at loggerheads with every MMO expansion ever made.
Desert of Flames has the most to offer EverQuest II players of advanced level, but the new PvP trappings and the combat revamp mean that there's something new to see for just about anyone. The player-versus-player combat still doesn't feel like a fully realized diversion just yet, but the act of exploring Ro and getting your character to level 60 should nicely fill the time you don't use waiting around for an arena game, provided you're of a high enough level to actually do those things. Existing players who are nearing the level of expansion country should check out Desert of Flames, and if you've let your account sit fallow for a bit, the changes to the combat system are worth sampling.

Guild Wars, hammered.
Part review, part synopsis, the TTH crew takes a candid look at a subscription-free success story. NCSoft re-entered the Massively Multiplayer scene in early 2005 via a young upstart developer called Arena.net, and Guild Wars was set to face off with two established persistant-world heavyweights.
It turns out that Guild Wars was unique enough to carve a stable niche for itself, but are 20 levels enough to keep players from turning their attention to the next big thing?
"New players notice a few things about Guild Wars right off the bat. First comes the choice of "player vs. environment" (PvE) or "player vs. player" (PvP) - a theme that pervades the game as Arena.net races to develop and balance the game for the heavily segmented player base. In any case, with PvE you'll start at level 1 and explore, equip, and adventure your way to level 20, choosing your own unique blend of primary and secondary subclass (more on this in a moment) along the way.
Under the PvP ruleset, you'll start at level 20, with a decently-developed primary / secondary skillset and the ability to equip a baseline set of equipment (you can later utilize equipment and templates "unlocked" through previous PvP successes- unlocked equipment is tied to the account, so players don't lose it when they delete a PvP character). PvP and PvE both have the ability to change the size and a few of the appearance attributes of their character and color of their starter armor."

Welcome to the Desert of Flames. You can now kill other players. Please enjoy your stay.
GameSpy has posted a review of EverQuest 2: Desert of Flames giving the game a thumbs up. Huzzah to Sony Online Entertainment for a job well done.
" SOE has been pretty aggressive about updating EverQuest II (not to mention meticulously listing every such update to its playerbase). As such, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see a full-fledged expansion to the game so relatively soon after its release less than one year ago. Desert of Flames is the first retail expansion to SOE's flagship MMO, and in many ways, it matches the scope of some of the original EQ's most memorable ex-packs. On top of a plethora of game-system overhauls, the game adds a significant amount of new content -- enough so that it warranted an increase to the character level cap, from 50 to 60. "

For those of your about to EQ2, we salute you.
GamersInfo has published a review of Everquest 2 that's well-suited to players new to MMO gaming.
" That's the basic nature of the game. You do quests, you group with other people, you wander the countryside and figure out the mysteries of the world. You go see interesting, and exotic new people and creatures and, a lot of times, kill them. As you go up in level, raiding becomes more and more important - large groups of people, usually in guilds, getting together to kill the larger, tougher mobs that drop the really good loot. "

IGN Reviews WoW "RP-PvP" Ruleset Servers
Consider it a "no tresspassing" sign for brats, morons, and their ilk.
IGN takes a look at what makes a WoW roleplaying server a nice alternative to the gank-a-rific flame-fest that gave WoW PvP servers a skanky reputation. Arnold Schwarzenegger, after being terminated one too many times in Molten Core (and using his gubernatorial powers to have the perpetrators summarily executed), recently made the big switch. He quoted this excerpt from the article in a press conference:
"When it comes down to it, "RP" is more of a special tag that keeps out the jokers, letting those who play well with others do their thing without much hassle. In general, it seems to be a more mature crowd full of people who genuinely enjoy the game and enjoy socializing within it. I've been playing the game since closed beta in April last year (with a few gaps, mind you), and I've experienced my share of hair-pulling aggravation that only a dedicated asstard can generate, so it's nice to come across what looks like a fresh change of pace."

Guild Wars, rated G for Good.
GamersInfo has posted a review of Guild Wars with predictable results. Britney Spears was too busy eating to talk, but amid the spitting of crumbs and the slurping of cola we heard this:
There have been many MMORPGs released into the market as of late. ArenaNet's entry into this market, Guild Wars, attempts to change many of the elements that have become the standard in MMOs today, while at the same time keeping many of the most basic principles of what an MMORPG is. One of the changes to the traditional MMORPG is the lack of a monthly fee. ArenaNet has decided to make money solely by releasing expansions. The gameplay in this game is fun and easy to get the feel for. It looks as well as sounds great, and it runs well on most computers. "

Do you own a retail store or have some sort of physical location that your customers can come to buy your products? If so, how are you engaging your customers when they are at your location? Customer engagement is an absolute must for all business owners. If your customers aren't engaged in your business then they are going to leave your store as quickly as they entered. A great "non-salesy" way to get your customers to learn more about your products is to use QR codes as a way of encouraging customers to watch product videos while they visit your store.
How to Use QR Codes to Serve Up Product Videos
Do you have any products that customers always have questions about? Do you sell technical products? Do you have products in your store that customers absolutely love and always come back to tell you about? All products have a story. All products need to provide customers with value. Some products are intuitive enough whereby customers don't need extra information. Other products need to be explained before customers are willing to buy them. If you're looking for ways to engage your customers when they come to your store, then why not use QR codes and product videos to do it?
Here are a few of the major steps you need to take to execute this marketing tactic in your store:
- Find 4-5 products that you think would benefit from a little more attention and explanation
- Shoot quick 30 second to 1 minute videos for each. Pick a topic for each. They all don't have to be "How-To" videos or "Customer Testimonials". In fact, it would probably be better if they were a little different.
- Upload them to your YouTube Channel
- Find a QR code generator that can display URLs and create a QR code for each product video
- Print each QR code on a sign that can be displayed on or near the appropriate product
- Start promoting your new marketing tactic online and in your store – Let your customers know how they can get access to these great new videos. Most customers will have smart phones with the capability to scan QR codes and watch online video.
- Train your employees on how they can help your customers interact with QR codes in your store
Benefits of Using QR Codes to Serve Up Product Videos In Your Store
Using QR codes to serve up product videos to customers who visit your store can offer a business a number of different benefits. Here are a few of the top benefits of using QR codes for video marketing:
- Increases sales
- Engages customers while they are in your store
- Builds a deeper relationship between you and your customer
- Increases the customers' product knowledge
- Keeps customers in your store
Increasingly we are seeing businesses use technology-enabled engagement tactics to educate and engage their customers. QR codes are fun. Videos are engaging and can be educational. Using QR codes as a way to get customers to access your product videos can be extremely impactful for those business owners who implement it properly.
5 Types of Videos to Serve Up Via QR Codes
So, are you thinking that this might be a fun tactic for you to try at your business? If so, here are a few ideas for different types of product videos that you can serve up to your customers through QR codes:
- Technical videos
- Customer testimonials
- Fun facts
- How it's made – Talk about how the materials used in the product are sourced (ie. organic, fair-trade, etc.)
- Product benefits
These are just 5 different types of videos that you can create, but there are probably a lot more. What you want to do is think about your products and your customers. What type of videos would your customers find most valuable? Once you figure that out, the rest is easy!
Has anyone ever used QR codes to serve up product videos to your customers? If so, please share your experiences with our readers by leaving a comment below. We appreciate it!

The week all American Idol fans wait for… WEEK 12! Both contestants have had a long run, but not without some controversy. Jessica was voted off by the fans at one point. I will still say, even in retrospect, her place on the stage at this point belonged to someone else. Phillip Phillips has been the most consistent performer all year. This is the second year that I felt as if the show's producers conspired to make sure the finale had the person they really wanted to win. I sincerely hope that the voting reflects the talent of the night.
Simon Fuller, the shows originator selected the first two songs.
Jessica Sanchez was given I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston to sing as her first of three songs tonight. She has a wonderful voice by that growling sound that comes from her is over done. I thought this performance was going fine until she started in with the growl. It's tough to do Whitney, so adjusting the tune a bit to suit her vocal style isn't a bad idea and it gives it a chance to stand on it's own. But growling? It turned it into your basic talent contest performance, at least for me. Continue reading
At some point my prediction of Hollie's departure was bound to be correct, I honestly thought it was bound to be correct many weeks ago however! I think of Colton Dixon and Elise Testone at a time like this and lament that their fan base was not aggressive enough to save them from their premature departures.
Phillip Phillips was the first to face the music. Jimmy liked everything Phillip did last evening and thought he has finally found his 'voice'. No results, he was sent back to the couch.
Hollie Cavanagh was next. Jimmy thinks Hollie is going in the wrong direction. He characterized her performances last night as a crash and burn. No results, she was sent back to the couch too. Continue reading
The proverbial Final Four of the American Idol Season 11 is upon us. I know it's a college basketball metaphor but it applies here. This is an exciting time for the contestants and the fans and although I believe Phillip Phillips is the guy to beat this season I find myself unsure of that outcome at this late stage. The voting fans are not easily to read this year, combine that with how the judges have been conducting themselves and you have a formula for unexpected results.
The themes for tonight, California Dreamin' and songs that you wish you'd written.
Phillip Phillips sings CCR's Have You Ever Seen The Rain. Phillip has a quirky style without his guitar and I think it suits him to go 'commando' from time to time. I think his vocals struggled a bit. I enjoyed this because of his own way of doing things. Steven called him an original, Jennifer was impress and Randy pointed out that his vocals were pitchie in the beginning but at the first chorus he hit his groove.
Holly Cavanagh sang a song by Journey, Faithfully. I think she struggled in the beginning, must be something in the air. This was not a great choice for Hollie since most of the song was in her lower vocal range where she doesn't have much power.
I think this performance alone puts her in the bottom two.
Randy thought she is peaking at the right time. He liked it. Jennifer said she always believed in Hollie. Hollie nearly made it to Season 10 and the judges told her to come back for Season 11. Steven gave her high praise but didn't actually critique the performance. I'm always suspect when a judge avoids that part. Needless to say, I couldn't disagree more with the judges on her singing Faithfully, it wasn't good. Continue reading
The stakes are particularly high this week since everyone in the competition has skills and one dark horse, Hollie Cavanagh, is making a move at the right time. Tonight we have the Bottom Two! It's all about fan support and it's now that the votes from the eliminated contestants will make their biggest impact. Remember the late surge for Kris Allen… and he won!
Tonight's special guests are Coldplay and Carrie Underwood.
Ryan called Joshua Ledet to the stage first. Without much drama Ryan announced he was safe, leaving four on the hot seat, sweating it out.
Coldplay took to the stage to sing their new song, Paradise. Tonight's effort was ok musically speaking but the lead vocalist went sharp when he sang the refrain. Ouch. Continue reading

|Also Salvia sagittata, S. macrophylla forms and hybrids, including S. macrophylla x sagittata Big Swing. S. cacalifolia is hardy USDA Zone 7. S. urica tall form and S. sinaloensis qualify, so do forms of S. chamaedryoides and S. lycioides
Guaranitica flowers are more of a cobalt or Prussian blue
|I'll second the Salvia macrophylla x sagittata, which I bought from Mr. Dufresne this spring, as the clearest pure blue flower (and a robust plant - 6' wide x 6' high counting flower spikes in its first year, in a large pot). I also recommend S. guaranitica 'Black and blue' as being a beautiful blue, though I suspect it is not as technically perfect/pure a blue.
|THREE plants of Salvia vitifolia!!!

|Steve, I remember your photo of Salvia 'Blue Ensign', a guaranitica, right? It was GORGEOUS!
I'm reluctant to add another guaranitica to the garden, tho. B&B is coming out next year. It just attracts the Southern Pink Moth so heavily, that I am lucky to get 3 or 4 blooms all season long. I get them on 'Lady in Red' as well, but it recovers so quickly and blooms anyway. B&B doesn't. It is their favorite plant - the moth, that is. Anyone else have problems with this pest? In reading about it, I find a lot of folks who think this is a pretty, cute moth. Not IMO. Very destructive.
Robin, any clue where I can find seeds and/or plants? I think we may have discussed this Salvia (vitifolia)last year. I just ran out of time and money! LOL! Definitely interested in this one. I doubt that Southern Pink Moth is an issue for you. The moths seemed to ignore the S. darcyi, S. 'Hot Lips', and S. 'Cherry Queen'. So whatever I decide on will be a trial run to see if they can survive the attack of the SPM! Love that blue of the S. vitifolia, too. Hardiness?
I'll be looking up the other Salvias mentioned to me. Thanks, Rich, for mentioning the cold hardiness of S. cacalifolia. Definitely will check it out.
Thanks everyone!

|I just potted up March-sown seedlings of S. vitifolia three weeks ago (long story), and it thrived in the 90 degree heat as long as I kept it fed and watered. It is growing a new root system rapidly, with rhizomes. I suspect it will do well in southeastern US semitropical conditions. If it maintains these abilities, I will be doing lots of it for trialling next year.
Robin, is it hardy for you?
Yes, it seems to be totally hardy here, and even seeds around a bit. These seedlings were under 10 inches of snow! Not so sure it will like hot conditions, even here it prefers partial shade, like S. patens.

|I'm still waiting for my S. vitifolia to bloom... when is it going to bloom?? I have it in bright shade.
|From a late Feb/early March sowing, you should have had flowers in Jul/Aug. When did you sow the seeds? It is a thirsty Salvia.....have you watered it enough?
Good luck.........sure you will love it when it decides to flower. Just wonder if your climate is really suitable...does S. patens perform where you live?
|Hard question. S. sagitata would probably top my list, with S. patens 'Guanajuato' a very close second. I haven't seen S. vitifolia in person yet, so have to believe Robin's claim for this one.

Thanks for your comments on my blue ensign and yes thats correct it is a salvia guaranitica. I guess they are sort of a medium blue compared to some . One year I did try a salvia sagittata and it is quite blue . But it didnt seem to do that well for me. It didnt flower all that well, but it is very blue.
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Thu, Dec 8, 11 at 23:43
S. sagittata seems to need at least near-Mediterranean conditions. Its hybrid with S. macrophylla (Big Swing) has proven over three seasons to do better in the northern states, blooming much of the summer. They really like it at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Fri, Dec 9, 11 at 23:54
I plan on trying S. sagittata again next season.
This season I found the hybrid s. greggii "mesa scarlet" loved it. Flowered strongly all season. At the same time I also got the greggii purple and azure.
|Funny you should mention that...I was just thinking of sagittata. When I think of the most intensely blue, it is s. sagittata...grows well for me here in SoCal...one of my favorites.
|Yes, S. sagittata is a wonderful blue, but there are some which can be more purple/violet.
Still reckon that S. vitifolia is fab., but it seems that this has been incorrectly named!!!!! Recent research indicates that this is actually Salvia serboana. Apparently the real S. vitifolia is a rather small plant, but with true blue flowers.

|I've seen Salvia mendax at the Strybing now San Francisco BB, and it looked a lot like cacalifolia, with a patens-sized flower and larger leaves.

|Some of those images are incorrectly identified. The one posted in the upper left is one of mine, taken at Cabrillo College of the related S. patens. This was posted in a thread about S. vitifolia, and if you follow the image to the source (a page on another forum), you will see the accompanying text that states it was posted to illustrate the similarities between the two species.
The Cabrillo form of S. patens is very densely covered with flowers.

|Oh no, there may be some confusion as to how a Google Image search works. Not all of the image results are necessarily photos item which was searched. The displayed images are images that appear somewhere (or anywhere) on the web page that contain the search terms. For most searches, the majority of the image results are of the searched subject and therefore the intention is fulfilled, ie., you get an eyeful of what you are looking for.
But not all images are of the searched subject. You have to go to each image's respective webpage to really make sure.
Also, if a reference is made to one in a particular image position on the page such as in the "upper left", be aware that the images will most likely be arranged differently for each searcher as well as differently each time the same person performs the search.

|Hi, I'm interested in everyone's experience and opinions. How does Salvia macrophylla 'Tingo Blue' compare to
I'm still looking to add a few more blues. Would love your advice.

|S. macrophylla x sagittata Big Swing seems to be more durable and floriferous tham S. macrophylla Tingo Blue. S. sagittata is definitely an arid plant, and suffers under hot and wet conditions. It tends to rot.
So does S. serboana, if left in a pot. It is more like S. patens, which needs to be selected for flower density and resistance to wet conditions. These two have tap roots that are soft and thicken into long tuberous roots. They do better in loose, porous soils with room to spread and especially dive to find water and nutrients. Sagittata appears to be more of a short-lived surface feeder.
I wish I had the resources and time to investigate the root systems of Salvias, because these are very important clues for predicting the environmental and horticultural responses to sustainability and culture.
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Sun, Aug 11, 13 at 20:06
|Rich, thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. I'm not sure any of these are good for my climate - hot, humid Jacksonville, Florida - although I thought S. serboana originated in Mexico - so maybe it would be ok if I could find it. Thanks again for your help!
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Mon, Aug 12, 13 at 7:10
|The problem with S. serboana's adaptability is that it is a high altitude plant, used to cool, relatively dry nights. Soil types are also considerations, leading to different expectations of durability. This is true of a lot of other New World sages.
S. miniata from Belize and neighboring Mexico is an exception, which is why it can be almost a weed in southern Florida. The trick is to match native environments of new introductions to your garden's., which is why thorough collection data on herbarium sheets is so valuable.
|I am very fond of the fall-flowering Salvia Pitcheri 'grandiflora' or Pitchers blue sage. It takes about 3 years to get fully grown. Pinch the stems back a few times to encourage branching and in full sun, its a 3' diameter ball of blue. It does tend to sprawl once the flowers are getting too heavy. I use a peony support ring to hold it up. Easy to propagate from cuttings.
For what ever reason, the intense blue just doesn't photograph well. But its traffic-stopping spectacular, particularly in a mass planting.

|It looks like the sun was out, based on the shadows. You actually get better images on cloudy days. The best days are with moderately dense wispy clods that admit highly diffuses sunlight, with no shadows.
Is that Nekan or Kaneb, or an old-fashioned selection? Nekan has lighter blue flowers, I believe.
|I just grabbed that pic off the web. I purchased my original plant from High Country Gardens years ago, it was called in their catalog "Salvia Pitchardi". They no longer sell it - for that matter, the company was sold and they are reorganizing, one hopes for the better given this last season's performance by the new management on fulfilling orders.
I just looked through web photos again, and this is very close to what I have below sprawling on the ground. Mine are about to start blooming, and I'll try to take some pictures on a cloudy day as you suggest.
Here is a link that might be useful: picture from this blog
|I haven't forgotten this thread. My Salvia Pitchardi is in full bloom, that deep intense blue, and I waited for a cloudy day to try and capture the hue, but still, no luck. Sunny days are even worse. The closest I can do is by using the zoom and taking the picture from some distance, here's some of the Salvia in a bed with burgundy mums and some agastache. Well, phooey. Its actually a stunning, show-stopping, intense blue but you'll just have to take my word for it....:-).
|I have several blue salvias, adding Salvia azurea this year (it's the currently accepted name for the plant that has been called by different names in this discussion -- Salvia pitchardi, Salvia pitcheri, Pitchers blue sage, etc. -- and is pictured just above).
To my eye, Salvia azurea has just a hint of a warm hue that isn't blue. It's also closer to a sky blue, as the accepted name 'azurea' hints at: 'azure' = 'a color that is commonly compared to the color of the sky on a clear summer's day'.
The winner in my garden for the most intense and pure blue Salvia is S. macrophylla x sagittata 'Big Swing', which I ordered from Rich at http://www.worldofsalvias.com. In addition to being a more pure blue color, it's a much more richly saturated blue than Salvia azurea. Garden visitors, in fact, are mesmerized by the purity of the blue that 'Big Swing' displays in its flowers, followed by the question, "where can I get that?"
I highly recommend ordering from http://www.worldofsalvias.com.
Here is a link that might be useful: A World of Salvias
|Yes, this photo I took over the weekend represents the color of 'Big Swing' quite well (with no significant adjustments made to the image). I also grow some version of S. patens, probably the species. It looks much like your photo. I think that other Salvias might be close as far as being a pure and true blue, but 'Big Swing' is that plus more saturated. I guess the title of this thread "Most Intensely Blue" is open to interpretation as to what that means.
'Big Swing' flowers are smaller than S. patens, and the petals drop of by afternoon on a 90 degree day. But if you have room, that color is stunning. (sorry for the large photo size - I couldn't figure out how to make it smaller without distortion).
|Kermit, its a darker shade, but the flower is the same shape.
Basil, I'd say that the pitchardi is the very close to the color of the 'big swing' - and as you say, a bit more intense.
I don't know how you can photograph that blue - maybe if I wasn't using a 10 year old digital camera with a maximum .5 mg resolution.......
Anyway, here in the fall it will bloom from about now until a hard freeze.
|This is a cross we made in 2012 and have been testing this year - Big Swing crossed back to one of its parents, S. sagittata. It has a much better habit, more flowers and is substantially hardier cold-wise. No name yet, and we'll probably release it in 2014. Not quite as deep a blue as Big Swing, but superior in many other ways.
|That looks like a nice plant - keep us updated. Regarding my 'Big Swing' photo, I took my laptop out to the garden and the photo is a bit deeper blue than the real flower. Not significantly, and still richer than the other Salvias I have. Those blues are indeed hard to photograph.

|Blues and reds are hard to get right because the concept of color artistically is circular, while in the world of physics, it is just a band in a continuum, with infrared and ultraviolet as non-visible neighbors. This makes red-blue balances tricky.
I've done some research on anthocyanin pigments as a chemist, and the blue pigments in Salvias patens, vitifolia (serboana), sagittata, macrophylla and cacalifolia, and their relatives are closely related, if not identical. Perceived flower color differ pretty much by concentration and fine morphological characters like the size, shape, and density of the fine hairs of the flowers that actually have the pigments.

A-List Interiors
Americas top designers unite under one roof at the 2009 Kips Bay Decorator Show House
By Samantha Nestor
Dining Room by Anne Pyne for McMillen
Pyne created high drama in the dining room by placing modern furniture beneath a vaulted ceiling and dark gothic wood moldings along with a fanciful theme. The room's aesthetic is inspired by John Ruskin and author Lewis Carroll. The decorative fairytale starts around two custom dining tables designed with tree trunk bases. Take a close look at the whimsical wallpaper, giant looking glass mirror and photographs featuring characters from Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.

Accordion Gallery
These frameless photographs are mounted on sturdy art boards and linked by small hinges for an accordion structure. Color and black-and-white snapshots, portraits, and still lifes add to the effect.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- Small craft brushes
- Acrylic craft paint
- Precut 5 3/4-by-7 3/4-inch art boards
- Decoupage glue
- Ruler and pencil
- T pin
- Screwdriver
- Small hinges and screws
Step 1
On a computer, resize photographs to 5 3/4 by 7 3/4 inches, and print them.
Step 2
Using a small craft brush and the acrylic paint, paint the edges of each board. Let dry.
Step 3
Position one picture on one face of each board. Using another small craft brush, apply decoupage glue to back of each photograph. Attach to a board; let dry. Glue images to reverse sides of boards if desired.
Step 4
Decide upon an order for the photos. Use pencil to mark the placement of the hinges. (Ours were 1 3/4 inches from the top and the bottom of each board and aligned with one edge).
Step 5
With the T pin, bore small holes through the boards where screws will go (this will make it easier to insert the screws). Using a screwdriver, attach the hinges, and link the boards to one another.

Thanks for the tips.Reply
chellewarren 22 Aug, 2010
I do love this idea. I also like how some one mentioned using acrylic frames so you can switch out the images, another person pointed out using fabric strips instead of hinges so you can fold the photos either way. But I have to wonder if anyone has considered ordering photos from a "pro" lab that are already mounted. This would eliminate the need for finding the art board or the Decoupage glue. You can get images mounted in diff thicknesses at Mpix.comReply

PamBivens 24 Jan, 2009
Use something less expensive for the backing -- maybe even corrugated cardboard, dressed up by covering with scrapbook paper, or decoupaging the back and edges of the "boards" before applying the pictures. Hinges could be made with a strip of 1 inch wide ribbon - lay two completed pictures side by side, carefully paint a strip of glue along the two touching sides (on the back only), then place the strip of ribbon on the glue, putting a flat weight, perhaps a book, on it while the glue setsReply

collegechick55 24 Jan, 2009
This would work with plastic photo holders as well- then you could interchange the pictures - use hot glue or epoxy for the hingesReply
sandrahenson 24 Jan, 2009
WHEN will this site give us a close-up or magnifying option so that we can actually see the project details? I find it frustrating when I can't see the pictures - I'm a visual learner and can't always picture things based on written directions.Reply
1Toffy 24 Jan, 2009
Just make 2 or 3 at a time so the finished product will appear as one accordian fold.Reply
1Toffy 24 Jan, 2009
Okay, Elmers glue can work just fine. And just cut up a carboard box for the frames. Cover the backs in decoator fabric or a cotton of choice. Glue on the picture. I would suggest in place of hinges use the fabric connected in a long strip and let there be about 3/8ths of an inch between the pics so it will fold. Lay it all out on the table first before gluing anything. Fabric left in the strip will work like a hinge, just glue the back of the cardboard then the edges folding over the excess.Reply
wifey2 24 Jan, 2009
i found it. it is in jan. 08 magazine. the picture is bigger and you can see the hinges better that way. in case youdon't have it, the hinges will alternate (like forward, then backward..and so on)between the two boards. the boards look pretty thick..i mean probably just half an inch to an inch or something. but i hope this helps!!
wifey2 24 Jan, 2009
hey! i kn ow this is in an old magazine of hers. i keep them all, but i know most people do not. i will try to look through and find it though in case you have them!!Reply
debofutah 24 Jan, 2009
I agree, the pictures are so small that it is difficult to get a real sense fo what to do. This is one of the best ideas in a while, but I need more visual to see how the hinges work.Reply
Martha peeps, make the photos bigger or that you can click on them to see more detail. I have to wear bifocals as it is! Help an aging Martha fan out!

Thats because Martha has the money and resources at the tip of her fingers. Unlilke us who do have to run all over the place to stores to find what we need. She also has people to do the shopping for her. As well, she has a crew of people who think up and actually DO these fine projects for her.

I have made several of these accordions they are easy to make and there has been no problem with warping when coating one side. They are 3/8" thick and the hinges suggested in the article fit perfectly with the thickness of the panel. Art Boards is at www.art-boards.com and phone is 800 546 7985. They also have mounting panels with glue already on them that you can just iron your photos on called mounting panels. Great project and product!Reply

mermaydmama 11 Jan, 2008
Speaking from the experience of making handmade books- if you apply a photo to only one side, the board will bow. To counter this bow you should at least apply a complimentary paper to the opposite side. Good luck, and have fun!Reply

Due to some crazy stuff happening at work I was unable to brew my Super Bowl brew until the 12th of January which was 2 weeks ago (nut brown ale)
I just pulled a sample and it is at my expected FG. It also tasted good with no obvious off flavors. My question is this.
Should I keg it now and let it sit for a week (set and forget) and lose a few extra days of fermentation or should I wait until Thursday and force carb it risking overcarbing but gaining those days?
This is my first time kegging so I am also interested in advice on force carbing if that's what you recommend.
Fermenting: Tripel
Keg: empty
Bottle: emptyVissani fermentor build
I say keg it will taste less green and have less carbonic bite then if you burst carb it.

Output buffering is a very Good feature of PHP. You can have control over your output using the output buffering. You can decide what to buffer and when to output to the browser.
What is Output Buffering?
When you execute any PHP script and generate an HTML content, that HTML content is server to the browser. But what if you want to generate and HTML content and don't pass it to browser? Yes, here Output Buffering comes into picture.
Normally PHP don't do it, but when you start Output Buffering PHP will keep all your output content in Internal Buffer rather than passing it to browser. PHP will pass this content only when user has requested to output the buffer content or script execution ends.
Default state for Output buffering is OFF.
How to Start Output Buffering?
We just need to call one PHP function to start the PHP Output Buffering. Have a look at below code block:
How to send output buffer to browser?
Once output buffer is started nothing will be outputed to the browser untill you request to output or script execution ends. If you want to output all the content of the buffer to browser then you need to use below code block:
But the thing is that, ob_flush(); will output the content from the buffer but PHP script will continue to buffer further. So what if you want to output the buffered content and stops the buffering anymore? You will need below code block for the same:
How to delete Output Buffer?
Just like an outputing, deleting is also done by just one function call. If you want to delete all content from the buffer then you will need below code block:
But like ob_flush(), ob_clean(); will continue to buffer the content, So to delete the content and stops the buffering anymore you need to use below code:
How to get Output Buffer Content?
So now we have seen the functions for deleting and outputing the buffer values, but what If you just want to check the content which are stored in the PHP buffer? Simple you will need to use below code block for the same:
Working Example
Have a look at below code block. Here you can see that we are outputting the phpinfo() and then after we have used sleep(10). We have not used ob_start() here. So what happes, it will output the phpinfo and the it will wait for sleep to finish.
Now in below code block you can see the magic of the output buffering, here you can see that we have used ob_start() and sleep() together. Execute below code in any php file and you can see that PHP script will wait for 10 seconds of sleep even if that is called after phpinfo().
To see this in action better if you create two different PHP file and check it executing those files.
One major benefit for Output beffering is caching. Yes you can cache the content (in fact whole rendered page) with the help of output beffering. Just to explain how this works. You can start output buffering and you can buffer whole content and at the end of the script before echoing the output you will have content of whole page, which you can cache in any ways you want.

Bruges City Breaks
A guide to Bruges
The historic Bruges, with its canals, UNESCO World Heritage Site city centre and vast array of chocolate shops, is a connoisseurs dream. Whether your tipple is beer, Belgian chocolate, art history or the varied architecture of the Gothic period, then Bruges is for you. Traditional and contemporary, rich and luxurious, calming and breath-taking, however you prefer to relax, Bruges can accommodate.
Historical importance, incredible medieval charm
Small, but with plenty to see, you'll find a city packed to the rafters with things to do. Visits to the 13th century belfry are a must, or, if you prefer famous art, then you can see the sculpture of Madonna and Child in the transept, one of Michelangelo's most endearing and powerful works. The mediaeval buildings and architecture are breath-taking and well worth a view, however, with such a great local culture and a thriving city centre, you might find that relaxing in a coffee shop and watching the world go by is enough.
Easy to get to, number of enchanting places to stay
With Eurostar connections to Brussels, you can travel by train all the way to the centre of Bruges; and there can be few such romantic cities to arrive in by train. If you can afford it, it's worth staying in one of the many spectacular bed and breakfasts available near the city centre, and hotels sometimes offer deals that can make the city an even more attractive proposition in the low season, particularly spring and autumn.

About : "Cialis online"
What is Cialis used to treat? Cialis is approved for the treatment of men who experience difficulty having and maintaining an erection (impotence).
How does Cialis online work? Cialis works by enhancing the effects of one of the chemicals the body normally releases into the penis during sexual arousal. This allows an increase of blood flow into the penis. An erection is the result of an increase in blood flow into certain internal areas of the penis.
How is Cialis different from the currently approved products for erectile dysfunction (ED)?
Cialis is different from other currently approved products for ED in that it stays in the body longer. However, there were no studies that directly compared the clinical efficacy and safety of Cialis to other products.
How do I take Cialis online?
Cialis is taken orally before sexual activity, not more than once daily. Cialis may be taken with or without food. In some patients, the dose strength and maximum frequency of use may be adjusted. For more detailed information consult with your health care provider.

Cialis tablets contain the active ingredient tadalafil, which is a type of medicine called a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor. It is used to help men with erectile dysfunction to acheive and maintain an erection, and can also be used to relieve the symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland. Tadalafil works by preventing the action of a chemical in the body called phosphodiesterase type 5.
An erection is produced via a complex chain of events, involving signals from the nervous system and the release of chemical messengers within the tissues of the penis. One of these chemical messengers is called cyclic GMP.
Cyclic GMP causes the blood vessels in the penis to widen by relaxing a thin layer of muscle found in the blood vessel walls. This allows more blood to enter the penis, which ultimately results in the penis becoming rigid and erect.

"The recommended dose of Cialis is 10 mg, taken prior to anticipated sexual activity. The dose may be increased to 20 mg or decreased to 5 mg."
FDA approval of Cialis was based on 2 U.S. and 5 international randomized, multicenter, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials. In total, Cialis has been evaluated in over 4,000 subjects. The primary outcome measures were the Erectile Function (EF) domain of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and Questions 2 and 3 from Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP). The IIEF is a 4-week recall questionnaire administered at the end of a treatment-free baseline period and at follow-up visits after enrollment. The IIEF EF domain has a 30-point total score, where higher scores reflect better erectile function. SEP is a diary in which subjects recorded each sexual attempt made during the study.
