|I haven't tried painting a paver yet. I have one in the shape of Texas imbedded in my asphalt driveway that I've been meaning to paint for years but still haven't done it. I also have about fifteen pavers I am going to mosaic with tiles, too, but haven't even started yet. So much to do, so little time, so little energy!
|I love painting pavers. The lady that taught me told me that the trick to keeping the paint on its to wipe the paver with denatured alcahol (sorry I can't spell). Then let it dry completely. I then base coat the entire paver including the sides. I like the Patio Paints that are available at the craft stores. I have some items I made three years ago, are in the sun and weather and still look good. For halloween I copied a picture I was lead to on this Gardenweb site. Run a search for "Frankie paver". It is really a cute frankenstein. Good luck

"The original version of this recipe wasn't healthy. It called for frying a whole chicken, then adding more oil, but I was intrigued by the combination of bananas, curry and chicken. So I came up with this low-fat version, which goes great with sourdough bread. The trick is to use very firm, almost green bananas, and not to overcook them." --CL Reader
Cooking Light JANUARY 2001
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken; stir-fry 12 minutes or until golden. Remove chicken from pan; set aside.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in pan. Add celery, onion, and garlic; sauté 3 minutes or until tender. Stir in curry powder, peppers, and salt; cook 1 minute. Stir in the water, coconut, broth, and tomatoes.

String Quartet No. 9 (Beethoven)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet No. 9 in C major was published in 1808 as opus 59, no. 3. It consists of four movements:
- Andante con moto - Allegro vivace (C major)
- Andante con moto quasi allegretto (A minor)
- Menuetto (Grazioso) (C major)
- Allegro molto (C major)
This work is the last of three quartets commissioned by prince Andrey Razumovsky, then the Russian ambassador to Vienna.

The Waterfront Bar and Grill is the focus of cruising yacht activities in Port Vila, and one of Port Vila's most popular places to dine, dance and enjoy live entertainment.
The Waterfront Bar and Grill is part of the Yachting World complex which includes the fuel wharf, the sea wall marina, moorings and the Connect Cafe for Internet access.
Tie your dingy up on the Waterfront/Yachting World dingy wharf and it will be happy and safe while you are out shopping or wandering around Port Vila. The Waterfront also provides showers and toilets for visiting yachts. When I asked how much this costs, the manager of Yachting World said that they trusted the people to make a donation to the staff (who clean the facilities). The suggested donation is 100 vatu per day per person but you can give more if you appreciate this service.
You can also leave your garbage in their garbage containers at no charge. They appreciate it when you manage to get it INTO the containers rather than next to the containers. They also appreciate it, as does everyone else who lives around and swims in the harbor, if you get your galley scraps, empty cans, and other garbage into garbage bins ashore and not into the water.
Providing amenities such as access, garbage, toilets and showers is a wonderful gift to the yachting community of Port Vila but The Waterfront Bar and Grill hospitality goes way beyond that.
They organize superior BBQ's, ladies luncheons, and specials at ridiculously low prices for cruising yachts. And they give yachties discounts on drinks, organize yachting activities, post yachting and weather news, and see to it that the lunches and dinners and parties are great fun for young and old. Be sure to check on a day by day basis for specials and activities.
There is a constant supply of very fresh fish for the restaurant. Meals are excellent, and there is live entertainment every evening with dancing till late. The atmosphere just can't be beat anywhere, and all this just a pace away from the Yachting World sea wall marina or from the dinghy wharf.
The Yachting World / Waterfront staff are truly welcoming and charming hosts for people, like you, who seek adventure and pleasure from the cruising life.

It may be outshone by Amsterdam in the cutesy canal department, but on all other levels Rotterdam has just as much to offer visitors as its major rival to the north. Having suffered enormous damage during the WWII, it was forced to reinvent itself in peacetime, and rather than rebuild in old styles it went for the modern look. Today it has grown into an internationally renowned centre for innovative architecture. As a major port city, it also has a vibrantly beating heart and boasts a colourful melting pot multicultural history that stretches back centuries.
Rotterdam's literal high point is the Euromast, a 185m-high tower built in the 1950s. The observation deck at the top has unparalleled views.
Delfshaven district
While much of the city is modern, the historic Delfshaven district made it through the war largely unscathed, and offers a rare window into the past.
Nederlands Architectuurinstituut
Showcasing Rotterdam's position as a capital of architecture, the Nederlands Architectuurinstituut (NAI, Netherlands Architecture Institute) contains exhibits on the big names of both Dutch and international architecture, from Rem Koolhuis to Le Corbusier.
The Kunsthal is a museum without a permanent collection. Instead it hosts several temporary exhibitions at a time, covering a wide range of usually fascinating themes.
Museum Boijmans van Beuningen
The city's top gallery, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen has a rich collection of Dutch and Flemish art, from Hieronymous Bosch, via Rubens and Rembrandt to Piet Mondriaan.
Rotterdam's main shopping drags are Lijnbaan and Beurstraverse, where you will find most things you need. The city's unofficial design centre is along Witte de Withstraat, which is lined with a quirky range of unusual shops and art galleries. The best department store is the Bijenkorf (Coolsingel 105, 0800 0818), which has designer label items, accessories and household goods. For more alternative fashion items, head for Nieuwe Binnenweg, or Van Oldenbarnveldtstraat. Held on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, the huge outdoor market on Binnenrotteplein, near Rotterdam Blaak station, has everything under the sun on sale at its more than 500 stalls.
Food & Drink
Consistently receiving rave reviews and spoken of as Rotterdam's best restaurant, the sleek and trendy Ivy (Lloydstraat 294, 010 425 0520) serves magnificent innovative modern Dutch creations from its open kitchen. If you can't decide what to order, the tasting menus run up to 11 courses. If classic seafood in refined surroundings is more to your liking, then the intimate Zeezout (Westerkade 11b, 010 436 5049) could be just the thing you are looking for. Or for something more high-tech and totally off-the-wall, head for Izkaya (Lijnbaan 42, 010 281 0910). You order its wide range of pan-Asian dishes by selecting from your interactive table, which doubles as a touch-screen menu.
Rotterdam has many good bars. For something traditional, visit De Pelgrim (Aelbrechtskolk 12, 010 477 1189) in historic Delfshaven, a lovely old café that is also the tap for the adjacent brewery of the same name. The more modern Floor (Schouwburgplein 28, 010 404 5288) has a pretty beer garden at the back, and several of the city's main theatres, cinemas and concert venues are located on the same square. For something livelier, Rotown (Nieuwe Binnenweg 17-19, 010 436 2669) has live bands most nights. But for the biggest names, the Ahoy (Ahoyweg 10, 010 293 3300) hosts global stars as well as touring shows such as Cirque du Soleil.

My in-laws are very disappointed that my DH & I decided to go to a smaller hospital 40 minutes away from our home. This hospital is in my hometown, with, in my opinion, the best OB (& the only OB I was comfortable with). It has caused some drama, which I haven't let bother me. But, with that being said, it's still on my mind.
My question: Is 40 minutes away from the hospital unreasonable? I'm a FTM & just need some reassurance! My family lives 2 blocks from the hospital & my DH & I plan on staying at their house 1 week before my due date (unless I go into labor early, we have to make the drive).
Edit: One more thing- we have a Children's hospital 10 minutes away & MIL thinks it's absurd that we would go somewhere else. I just want a more relaxed environment than a huge, impersonal hospital.
I'm traveling an hour to the hospital even though there are several closer. The c section rates are too high for me and I was lokoign for a particualr type of practice.
What your MIL thinks doesn't matter one hill of beans here.
But I thi
A friend of mine used a hospital that was an hour and fifteen min. from her house. She was very happy with that hospital and that is where she wanted to go.
She did choose to leave her house a little earlier so she wouldent be in as much pain in
My hospital is probably 25 minutes on a good day, with light traffic. Otherwise, it could take us 40 minutes (or more) to get there- and the exit is in a construction zone, so yay. I'm not concerned- and I'm a FTM.
My family has had travel times
I don't think that's too far. My hospital is about 30 minutes away (can be faster if there's no traffic, and will definitely be longer if there's a lot of traffic) - and I feel pretty comfortable with that.
Since you're planning on staying
Up until last night, my hospital was about 15 minutes away. But now, I am high-risk delivery only, so I will be with my MFMs at a Level III facility about 40 minutes away.
I agree with others though, I wouldn't stay with your parents for a week.
Our hospital is about 25 minutes away, but it's also the closest hospital to us, so it was either this hospital or one even further away. I love my OB's office so I'm glad it worked out this way.
As long as you feel comfortable with it, I don't t

Recalling a Kolkata park that lets cosying-up couples be
In about two weeks, the country will be celebrating Valentine's Day. I'm talking as if Valentine's Day were Deepavali or Christmas — but then, as far as commerce is concerned, it has assumed the status of a full-fledged Indian festival. After all, you can sell just about anything in the name of love — from diamond necklaces to candle-lit dinners, and everything in between.
As we prepare for the splash of pink in the newspapers and on TV screens, small groups of men must be sharpening their claws on the various lanes and byways, awaiting their 15 minutes of fame on Valentine's Day. They would raid public parks, humiliate young couples enjoying moments of solitude, perhaps even get violent, and raise slogans against 'Western culture' if TV cameras happen to be around.
As it is, young lovers spending time together in public places are a vulnerable lot. Just about anybody can bully them and subject them to interrogation — from the moral cop to the real cop to extortionists who pretend to be cops. But, there is one park in India that is unlikely to ever witness such ugly incidents. This park, in the truest sense, is a lovers' paradise — as I discovered during my morning walks on a recent, week-long visit to Kolkata.
It would be unfair to call Central Park in Salt Lake area just a park. I would call it a well-kept miniature forest which, complete with water bodies, can be a delight for the botanist as well as the bird-watcher. The greenery stretches as far as the eye can see, and far in the horizon loom buildings housing various departments of the West Bengal Government. It is a different matter that you will rarely see a botanist or a bird-watcher here: only pairs of countless heads sprinkled across this mini-forest.
Until nine in the morning, when entry is free, the park is overrun by morning-walkers and fitness freaks. From 10, entry is ticketed: Rs. 20 for a person. That's when the couples start arriving in droves, from various corners of Kolkata, disgorging from yellow-black taxis. Right outside the entrance are two stalls — competing with each other — that sell chips and biscuits and rent plastic mats (for a deposit of Rs. 20, of which Rs. 10 is subtracted when the mat is returned).
Since I usually wake up around nine, I had to pay for my entry on most days. The ticket would be issued by a disinterested clerk, his cigarette packet and matchbox carefully placed next to the ticketing machine. It would be examined, in an equally disinterested manner, by a beedi-smoking guard. The plus side of making a late entry into the park is that you have the walking tracks all to yourself — not a soul in sight except the couples hidden in their cosy corners.
Each time I ran into an amorous pair, I would quickly avert my gaze, lest they thought I was a voyeur in the garb of a fitness freak. I needn't have bothered. I found an actual voyeur out there: a portly, bald, sunburnt man always carrying an umbrella. He would go from tree to tree and peep at the couple sitting under its shade. Alas, I've never been close enough to record the shock in their eyes on seeing a sunburnt face with bulging eyes emerging from behind the tree.
"Does he come every day?" I once asked the guard on my way out.
"Every day, around the same time," he replied.
"Have you ever stopped him? He disturbs people."
"How can we? He buys a ticket."
The guard told me that once upon a time, families used to frequent Central Park. But as it transformed into a lovers' haunt, they began to keep away.
The Government decided to act: on an adjacent plot, it built a smaller park, complete with play equipment, for families and strictly barred entry of couples into that.

A gripping and entertaining tale of terror and suspense as well as a potent Faustian allegory of hubris and science run amok, The Invisible Man endures as one of the signature stories in the literature of science fiction. A brilliant scientist uncovers the secret to invisibility, but his grandiose dreams and the power he unleashes cause him to spiral into intrigue, madness, and murder. The inspiration for countless imitations and film adaptations, The Invisible Man is as remarkable and relevant today as it was a hundred years ago. As Arthur C. Clarke points out in his Introduction, "The interest of the story . . . lies not in its scientific concepts, but in the brilliantly worked out development of the theme of invisibility. If one could be invisible, then what?"

10 money tips for teens
Spending, Saving, and Earning Tips for Teens
by Alyssa Liljequist

Teens and Money
Help Your Teenager while Helping Yourself
Teens & Credit: A Recipe for Disaster
Once we enter into our teen years, we suddenly seem to have a "need" for more money. Whether it's for a computer, car, or college, there are expensive purchases we want to make. How do we afford it? A key part of the puzzle can be found in our saving and spending habits.
Benjamin Franklin's saying "A penny saved is a penny earned" is true. If we can keep our eyes on a big purchase we hope to make, it will help us refrain from buying smaller things we don't really need. Five dollars here and ten dollars there will add up. Let's try to keep them adding up in our bank account, not in someone else's.
Here are some tips:
- Avoid debt like the plague. Stay away from credit cards. It may seem tempting to be able to buy things you can't afford, but there will always be consequences, such as huge headache-inducing bills and going flat broke.
- Ask yourself questions before you buy. Is this useful? Will I still be using it a year from now? Can I live without it?
- If possible, wait for awhile. Impulsive buying is often regretful buying. After a few days or weeks, you may not even be interested in it anymore. If you are, it is still wise to wait until it is on sale. Always try to keep from buying products at full price.
- Compare prices. Especially in preparation for large purchases, check different stores, in person and online, before making your decision. Don't neglect to consider buying used.
- Don't leave much money in your wallet. Keep it in your bank account or tucked away at home. If you don't have it with you, you can't spend it.
Obviously, you can only save money if you have money.
Here are some ways to make money:
- Use your talents. Do you play an instrument or sing? You could make CDs, give lessons, etc. Are you good with kids? You could babysit, help out at a mom's group, etc. Are you knowledgeable in the area of html? You could design websites, graphic buttons, etc. Develop an entrepreneurial mind set. There are opportunities all around you!
- Consider internships. Some pay; some don't. Either way, you get experience and something significant to put on your resume, which can easily lead to paying jobs.
- Enter contests. There are writing contests, drawing contests, photography contests, filmmaking contests, and more. Again, this is resume material if you are a finalist or winner. I have entered over thirty contests in the last six months alone and I am beginning to see my hard work pay off. A poem was picked to be published in an anthology, an essay was a semifinalist, and a short story was a finalist. I encourage you to enter as many contests as possible that fit your interests!
- Take surveys. You won't get rich doing it but even a few extra dollars is nice. TeensEyes is a trusted survey site for teens. Their surveys are not frequent but you always get points from them and they pay well for the small amount of time that they require. I have personally earned $53 from them over the last few years. They send you checks in the mail. Surveyhead is another survey site. Their surveys are more frequent. They pay with gift cards and/or PayPal. They also give you the chance to donate to charities. In a little over two years, I have earned $66.20.
- Use Swagbucks for your search engine. This will prove especially beneficial if you surf the Internet a lot. When you search for information, why not get paid in gift cards and prizes?
I hope this has helped you think of even more ways to earn, save, and spend money wisely!

CIPAY's Real Medications 4 Real Pain Sufferers
Why This Is Important Many strategies and options exist to treat chronic noncancer pain. Since chronic pain is not a single entity but may have myriad causes and perpetuating factors, these strategies and options vary from behavioral methods and rehabilitation approaches to the use of a number of different medications, including opioids. Pain is one of the most common reasons people consult a physician, yet it frequently is inadequately treated, leading to enormous social cost in the form of lost productivity, needless suffering, and excessive healthcare expenditures. Impediments to the use of opioids include concerns about addiction, respiratory depression and other side effects, tolerance, diversion, and fear of regulatory action. State law and policy about opioid use are currently undergoing revision. The trend is to adopt laws or guidelines that specifically recognize the use of opioids to treat intractable pain. These statements serve as indicators of increased public awareness of the sequelae of undertreated pain and help clarify that the use of opioids for the relief of chronic pain is a legitimate medical practice. Due to concerns about regulatory scrutiny, physicians need guidance as to what principles should generally be followed when prescribing opioids for chronic or recurrent pain states. Regulators have also expressed a need for guidelines to help them to distinguish legitimate medical practice from questionable practice and to allow them to appropriately concentrate investigative, educational, and disciplinary efforts, while not interfering with legitimate medical care.

Marla Renee Wilson, United States1 year ago Comments: I suffer from chronic pain 24/7. I was hit by a drunk driver when I was 17. I am now 52. My neck was broken, my pelvis was broken into 8 pieces, it caused swelling on my brain, cracked my left arm, cracked my jaw, caused internal organ damage, caused the loss of a lot of blood, broke my ribs, severly bruised most of my body, caused severe lesions over my left eye and other parts of my body. I died 3 times in the ER. I had to learn how to walk again, I eventually had to have a total hip replacement. I suffer with pain from these injuries daily. I want humane and legitimate treatment by doctors who are unafraid to practice their chosen profession. It's time we, as chronic pain patients are treated fairly.
Jillian Nathan, United States1 year ago Comments: I have lyme disease and have been on pain medication for about 6 months, but am still in pain daily. I ended up going to pain management and the doctor there pretty much rolled her eyes at me when she found out I was there for Lyme disease. She did not want to give me pain medicine and when she did lowered my dose from what i had been taking so now i live day to day in constant pain, unable to work, and somedays unable to care for my children. I'm not a drug seeker, I have a chronic condition that cause severe pain. I feel whenever I tell a doctor i'm in pain i get treated like i just want pain meds for fun and this isn't the case and it makes me feel horrible.
