After a short delay Part 2 of the Unova arc is here. This second part has proven a little harder to write than the first as the remaining Unova Legendary Pokémon don't have as much backstory and speculation points as the three dragons do. As a brief note before you begin reading: this article is significantly shorter than the previous as I have cross referenced certain to certain points, so make sure you've read Part 1!
Spoiler | Show> |
There is obviously reasoning behind The Musketeer Trio's appearance in BW2 but why is currently unknown. Do you support any of the above ideas? Or do you have a completely different one yourself? If you've already played BW2 what else can you speculate beyond the facts already laid out in the story? And finally, what do you guys want in the next article?

This water-based serum cannot lift skin, at least not to a noticeable extent, though your skin may fee lifted because some of the ingredients this contains have a temporary tightening effect on skin. In terms of this serum being able to replace volume loss (which dermal fillers work brilliantly to correct) no way! Skin loses volume for numerous reasons, from sun damage to fat pads beneath the skin shifting, and the latter is something no skin-care product can stop or correct, regardless of its ingredients. Perhaps the company meant that this serum can plump skin, which it can but not to a prodigious extent.
Regrettably, the amount of alcohol in this serum is potential cause for concern. It's quite possible the amount is below 3%, which means there's minimal cause for concern but still—no anti-aging formula's ingredient list should be displaying alcohol so prominently. The real deal-breaker and reason this serums isn't recommend is because it contains fragrant oils such as clary and lavender. Lavender oil is among the worst fragrant oils for skin.Research indicates that components of lavender, specifically linalool, can be cytotoxic, which means that topical application causes skin-cell death (Source: Cell Proliferation, June 2004, pages 221–229). Lavender leaves contain camphor, which is a known skin irritant. Because the fragrance constituents in lavender oil oxidize when exposed to air, lavender oil is a pro-oxidant, and this enhanced oxidation increases its irritancy on skin (Source: Contact Dermatitis, September 2008, pages 143–150). Lavender oil is the most potent form, and even small amounts of it (0.25% or less) are problematic. It is a must to avoid in skin-care products, although it's fine as an aromatherapy agent for inhalation or relaxation (Sources: Psychiatry Research, February 2007, pages 89–96; and www.naturaldatabase.com).
None of the issues lavender, alcohol, and fragrant clary oil present are good news for anyone's skin, and the claims for this serum really overstate what's actually possible from skin care. This serum is not a dermal filler or face-lift in a bottle—not even close!
For a more lifted appearance and improved contour, Exuviance Collagen Triple Boost Serum is formulated to boost collagen levels and restore youthful volume to skin that has lost its elasticity and firmness. The unique formula concentrates seven potent collagen boosters designed to maximize skin's natural collagen at every level, building new collagen and protecting it and its surrounding support matrix. Multi-level action helps ensure a more lifted appearance, better definition and noticeably firmer skin. Supercharge your daily skincare regimen with this concentrated problem solving essential.
Aqua (Water), Acetyl Glucosamine, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat., Polysorbate 80, Dimethicone PEG-7 Phosphate, Glycerin, Acetyl Proline, Acetyl Hydroxyproline, Lysine, Glycine, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C Ester), Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Gardenia Jaminoides Meristem Cell Culture, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Salvia Sclarea (Clary) Oil, Propylene Glycol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Ammonium Hydroxide, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Bisulfite, Xanthan Gum, Chlorphenesin, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol
Exfoliation is the name of the game for this line! The original NeoStrata and Exuviance brands were created by Drs. Eugene Van Scott and Ruey Yu, the two researchers who own the original patent (actually, they hold over 80 patents) for the use of glycolic acid (AHA) in relation to its ability to diminish wrinkles, among other capabilities. Few lines offer reliable and effective formulations for exfoliation, so those that do deserve your attention. Well-formulated AHA products are those that have an effective concentration of AHAs and a base with an acidic pH that allows them to have maximum benefit. The exfoliation that AHAs provide reduces the thickness of the skin's outer layer, helping skin to quickly look smoother and feel softer, which in turn can solve many skin problems, including dryness, blemishes, sun damage, and skin discolorations. A good deal of research also shows that AHAs can help increase the thickness of the underlying layers of skin, improve skin structure, increase collagen production, and allow penetration of other skin-care ingredients. Moreover, NeoStrata is one of the only companies to sell a range of reliable sunscreens that also contain effective AHA formulations.
Both the NeoStrata (these products are reviewed separately) and Exuviance lines contain glycolic acid (AHA), but even more of these products contain a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) called gluconolactone (also patented by Scott and Yu), and for which similar claims are made. Gluconolactone is supposed to be gentler and longer acting than glycolic acid, and its delayed penetration is attributed to its larger molecular size. However, according to an article in Cosmetic Dermatology (July 1998), the skin can't tell the difference between the various effective AHAs, and the possibility of gluconolactone staying on the surface of skin longer than other AHAs did not prove out. So in terms of exfoliation and potential side effects, PHA ends up being as good as AHA. Gluconolactone may be slightly less irritating for some skin types, but this isn't quite the magic bullet for exfoliation NeoStrata claims, though it does indeed work when properly formulated (but so do glycolic and lactic acids). Another PHA NeoStrata uses is lactobionic acid. However, there is no definitive, published research establishing it as an effective alternative to (or partner for) other AHAs or BHA.
Beyond the numerous products that exfoliate (which is NeoStrata's main selling point) there's not much to get excited about, especially for what the company is charging. And it's upsetting that a dermatologist-driven, physician-sold line still has weak spots such as the occasional inclusion of irritating ingredients with no established benefit for skin and, believe it or not, a sunscreen that leaves skin vulnerable to UVA damage. NeoStrata has their act together when it comes to AHAs and PHA, but that tunnel vision has, in some respects, kept them from branching out to offer a better assortment of state-of-the-art products.
For more information about Exuviance, call (800) 225-9411 or visit www.neostrata.com.
Caution: Keep in mind that skin needs only one reliable exfoliant at a time. Exuviance sells so many good ones, you may be tempted to double (or triple) up, but doing so can backfire and be more irritating than helpful.
NeoStrata Exuviance Makeup
The small assortment of Exuviance makeup products takes the "makeup as skin-care" approach by including gluconolactone in all the makeup products. Although Exuviance makes much ado about gluconolactone being a gentler AHA alternative with advanced hydrating and antioxidant ability, information presented in Cosmetic Dermatology (July 1998) doesn't bear this out. That is, it's hard to see any better possibilities for gluconolactone than for the older, mainstay AHAs such as glycolic acid and lactic acid. What's not discussed are the effects on skin when multiple products containing gluconolactone are used. Although its reduced rate of penetration might make it less irritating, the fact remains that skin does not need multiple products for sufficient exfoliation.
The most encouraging news is that each Exuviance makeup product includes an effective sunscreen. As far as anti-aging goes, that feature is far more essential than the next AHA alternative. Exuviance makeup has changed hardly at all since it was last reviewed. The three foundations still do not offer a middle-of-the-road option when it comes to coverage. You're left to choose between the opaque CoverBlend makeups or the sheer Skin Caring option. The CoverBlend Concealing Treatment Makeup SPF 20 is truly in a class by itself when it comes to traditional full-coverage makeup, and it's highly recommended if you need significant coverage for discolored areas on the face or body. The tube concealer also offers full coverage (though the colors are not the most neutral around), and the loose powder is a fine, albeit overpriced, option.

Learning to Ride a Horse and Tobogganing – Visit Wales!
Last weekend saw me, Mr TS and our two youngest children abandon our two older boys to their revision and nip off to visit Wales! I left the guilt at home, packed our practical outdoor gear and jumped into the car with unseemly haste – it was time for some adventures! As we crossed the Severn Bridge the clouds parted and a dragon glared down at us, full of fire and promise.
We were on a mission to pack as much into two days as we possibly could and to try some things we hadn't had a go at before at the behest of Visit Wales. As I plotted and planned it dawned on me that some of the things I assume BB has done were, in fact, done by his brothers and he hasn't had a go at all! It was time to indulge him and her and immerse ourselves in glorious South West Wales!
Our first day was spent on beaches, on horseback and tobogganing down a hill, we explored castles and seaside towns, ate chips, laughed and throughly blew all our cobwebs away. There seemed to be a beach or a castle around every corner and the landscape was HUGE!
First on my list was Pembrey Country Park in Carmarthenshire - mixing coast and countryside and offering a wealth of family activities it was a Must Do. We started the day on Cefn Sidan Beach, miles and miles of golden sand, sand dunes and sky. The children ran and ran and it was wonderful to see her shaking off all her teenage cares and breathing deep – she had the beach to herself!
They explored sand dunes and combed the beach for finds washed up by the energetic waves while I felt my lungs fill with clean air and the worries of the week washing away. But we were here to do new things too so we said goodbye to the beach and prepared to saddle up!
I haven't been on a horse since I was about 18 and that was a total disaster so I was a little bit nervous but neither of the children had ever ridden and their eyes were gleaming with excitement. I had signed up for half an hour's training in the school and then half an hour trekking with Pembrey Park Riding Centre and was delighted to find we were to be taught as a group of four by the lovely Midge.
Hatted and booted and ready to go!
Our horses were led to the mounting block and Mr TS leapt into Ed's saddle as if he'd been doing it all his life, I swung a not very swingy leg over Sweetie's back and managed to clamber aboard, Bonus Boy and Our Girl popped up onto Star and Ruby respectively and we were led into the training square.
All in all we did pretty well, we all managed to walk, stop and turn a gentle corner and then she moved onto trotting. Trotting is the bouncy bit where bum meets horse back at speed and requires synchronised standing and sitting – this would be my undoing, I was sure of it. The children were still grinning, Mr TS was all calm and relaxed, I paled a little and braced myself.
"Hold onto the saddle and the reins, stand up, keep your heels down and look between Sweetie's ears. Imagine there's a pin on her saddle Chris, you don't want to sit on that as it comes up!" shouted Midge with a hearty laugh – What? Five things at the same time, are you mad? I squeezed Sweetie with my legs and hoped for the best, thankful that I had someone holding a rope at her front end to keep things in order. Sure enough bum met saddle with a slap which was enough to get me standing up, sitting down and trying to do it with the same rhythm as Sweetie. I did it! Midge told me I was brilliant – I felt like a child and puffed out my chest. Bonus Boy and Our Girl both followed me and both did REALLY well; their grins were broadening by the second!
A little more practice and a few more pointers and we all set off with our leaders for a hack through Pembrey Park, practising the things we had learned as we went. I approached a bit of trotting with a smile rather than fear and it felt much more natural and far less painful!
I loved that it was just the four of us learning together, that we had the security of lead reins, that we were riding through beautiful woodland (I wasn't allowed to take pictures as I rode in case I spooked the horses) and that all the girls who led us were kind, chatty and helpful – Bonus Boy was having a lovely natter about The Legend of Zelda as he rode along!
I love my daughter's face in this picture, look at her trying to hold in her happiness! She was finally doing something she has always wanted a go at and we had never found time for and it was bursting out of her.
Back at the stables we all reluctantly said goodbye to our lovely horses and their leaders (my dismount was even more ungainly than my earlier mounting – I slithered to the ground rather than springing off, I clearly need swingy leg practice, Sweetie's rump was very broad!). Bonus Boy was totally in love with Star by now and Ruby and Our Girl had become firm friends, their first go at horse riding was definitely a big hit!
But our day was only just starting, Pembrey Country Park has so much to offer! We passed on the 130m long dry ski slope (I didn't think my legs would cope with horses and skiing in one day) but couldn't resist a go at the longest toboggan run in Wales, The Cobra!
This was another new thing for Bonus Boy who was too little last time we had a go at one – he was chuffed to bits when he was told he was old enough to ride it himself! He decided to take Dad along for the ride for his first go – I think you can tell by the look on Mr TS's face and his unseemly haste to get himself out of the toboggan that Bonus Boy had discovered his inner speed demon! His next few runs saw him whizzing off on his own and arriving back at the bottom VERY swiftly!
Several rides later, after much laughter and with totally insane hair dos we went to dry off and warm up.
Ski Pembrey is open all year round and there is an Alpine Ski Lodge and Cafe at the bottom to warm your cockles after a day on the slopes. You can turn up without booking to snowboard or ski and all equipment is provided with a reduction in price if you have your own. Qualified instructors offer coaching and instruction whether you are a complete novice or a budding racer and it is definitely something on our list for next time!
Right – that's enough for today, I'll let you catch your breath and have a cup of tea! Come back on Friday for our Adventures in Wales Part 2 where we will be exploring castles, following in the footsteps of a particular poet and pond dipping, den building, duck racing and more at Colby Woodland Gardens!

So pleased you had a lovely time. I live about an hour from Pembrey so we love to visit too.
I often feel that all my kids have done lots of things and then remember that one or two of the youngest haven't had a experience yet.
We're doing the ski and toboggan first on our next visit as we ran out of time…and steam last time! x
It looks like a marvelous time. The thing that struck me about Wales is how many great outdoorsy pursuits there are. You've got me itching to get back on a horse.

Air Conditioning, Heating and Plumbing - Advice, Discussion and Tips from ARS®/Rescue Rooter®. Welcome to the ARS/Rescue Rooter Home Connect, your online resource center for information, answers and interactive advice about air conditioning, heating, plumbing and drain maintenance. As part of our commitment to providing exceptional service, we created the ARS/Rescue Rooter Home Connect to be a useful tool with many helpful ways to find what you need.
I had the furnace cleaned last month to prepare for winter. Now I hear a shrill whistling sound from the furnace just before the blower kicks on. What causes this noise?
One possibility: If you have a humidifier on your system, it may be energizing and causing a water noise. Otherwise, there should not be a whistling noise when only the burners are on. A second thought: Many companies use a foil tape to seal air connections. What you find is that the glue dries out and the tape starts peeling away from whatever it was attached to. In the case of a furnace, this would allow air to pass by and cause a high pitched whistling noise. If that's the problem, you have at least one air leak in your system. In that case, I would recommend having a professional HVAC contractor seal your system properly with a secondary sealant like a mastic or Hardcast cloth and glue. I suggest you contact a professional HVAC technician, such as the ARS/Rescue Rooter branch in Indianapolis, IN at (317) 390-5555, to take a look at your heating system to determine the cause of the whistling sound.

Why you feel tired after eating was originally a short post written for the "Bites" section, but it has been such a popular post, that I decided to re-vamp it by making it into a full length post. I have added some extra information to help you to fully understand why we sometimes feel tired after eating, as well as some great short videos from Jon Gabriel of The Gabriel Method explaining the insulin connection.
Most of us have felt the effects of feeling tired after eating a particularly indulgent meal, but have you ever wondered why? I don't eat a lot of sugar anymore, and I can eat the occasional couple of biscuits, piece of chocolate, cake or dessert with no problems. But, if I eat a whole bag of lollies (140 grams), the quick sugar fix makes me want to go to sleep within 30 minutes.
What makes us feel tired after eating?
We now know that the culprits making us want to catch a few z's are the processed carbohydrates and sugar. We normally think of sugar as something that we eat to give us energy; however recent research has shown that sugar decreases the activity of the cells in the hypothalamus (a small pea sized part of the brain that you can see in the picture) that produce the hormones orexin and hypocretin. Hypocretin and orexin both promote wakefulness and orexin also regulates food and water intake and the sleep-wake cycle. In effect, when we eat highly processed carbs and sugar, the production of orexin and hypocretin are shut down which makes us feel tired after eating.
Any time that we eat refined carbohydrates and sugar, it slows our activity levels down. We begin a cycle of eating sugar to give us energy, but it just makes us feel more tired. We then become too tired to exercise, eat sugar to "give us energy" but instead the sugar makes us feel tired again so we don't exercise because we feel tired, and then we start to put on weight. Do you get the picture?
If you add sleep deprivation and stress into the equation you have a double whammy because the production of cortisol is increased. Cortisol is yet another hormone which increases your appetite and makes you crave the sugary comfort foods that help produce the feel good hormone serotonin to help you calm back down.
How can we stop feeling tired after eating?
After all, we have to eat! One strategy is to limit the amount of processed carbs that you eat with a meal or better still, cut them out altogether. Eat protein with every meal and increase the amount of salad and vegetables that you eat.
Protein stops you feeling fatigued after lunch by activating the orexin system (promoting wakefulness) and even eating a small amount of protein can reverse the effects of feeling tired after eating a meal that contain sugar and processed carbs, providing they are eaten at the same time.
How insulin can make us feel tired after eating
The affects of insulin can also make us feel tired after eating. Highly refined carbs such as sugar, white rice and white bread are digested and processed quickly, causing a spike in blood sugar levels. Your pancreas will keep releasing insulin until the sugar in your blood stream has been brought back to normal levels. It does this by taking the sugar into your cells to be used for energy or into your fat cells to be stored if it is not needed immediately. If your blood sugar levels drop too quickly this can also make you feel tired after eating and ready for a nap.
These short 5-6 minute videos by Jon Gabriel from The Gabriel Method explain about insulin resistance and how it contributes to making you fat.

When I enlarged my bedroom, I ended up with 2 doors (the original and the one from the bedroom I took over). I have been waiting to take the extra door out because I cannot decide what to do with it.
These are the options: . remove the door and drywall 2. remove door and fill stud space with shallow shelves. If I do the shelves, they cannot be more tha 7" deep. There is the electrical panel box beside it which cannot be blocked. If I went with the shelves, they could face into the room ore into the hallway. What do you think? This will be one of my fall projects |

- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Sun, Jul 4, 10 at 21:43
do you have a need or want for those shallow shelves? stuff you'd want to put on them? is that panel box facing the hallway or your room? you could put a 'frame' cover over the 'shelves' and use them for jewelry. put a pic in the 'frame' or a mirror. |
Actually I don't need any more shelves. It just seems like I should put something there while I have the chance. Hmmmmm! I need to think about this some more. |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Mon, Jul 5, 10 at 0:51
I'm not sure what your would do with the space if you just walled it up. You'd definitely LOSE any option of using it. Many books are about 7" deep. Even the big books can be stood up, if you make a couple of taller shelves near the top and the bottom. I like adjustable shelves, but fixed ones are good in most instances. Other than books, you'd have a place to put DVDs, CDs, display vases or shells or whatever. Like Steph says, you could put a hinged shutter or whatever over the 7" deep shelves. I'd still open them to the hallway. Goodness, can you imagine just how much bathroom toiletries, t-paper, first aid supplies, cold meds, etc, etc, that such a shallow "closet" could hold? Fantastic. You ask should you turn it to the bedroom or to the hall. I would definitely turn it TOWARD THE HALL. Why? Because that would give you the option in the future to place a piece of furniture in your bedroom in front of that spot. I am all for making the bedroom as peaceful and uncluttered as possible. Also, about the breaker box/electrical panel. Ours is within 3 feet of the kitchen sink, and I hate it. You have TWO OPTIONS with that breaker box: 2. Turn it around to face into the hallway also. And then again, cover it over with a decorative hinged panel/frame. I do not know how much that it will cost to simply TURN THE BREAKER BOX AROUND, since my project encompasses a bit more work than that. I call this box in the kitchen the "main" box, but actually there is the big one on the exterior of the house about 2 feet away from this box. So this portion of the project could be done independent of anything else. |
If I had that in my bedroom, I would build a jewelry organizer into it, with a hinged mirror covering it. I wanted to do that in my closet, but the studs weren't centered right. |

At our last house we had a regular kitchen cabinet door over the electric panel. It was in our master bedroom too. I never paid much attention to it. Course it was behind the door. LOL |
- Posted by trancegemini_wa (My Page) on Mon, Jul 5, 10 at 10:00
Loretta which door is it? can you post a pic of your room again and point out the door? |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Mon, Jul 5, 10 at 16:20
yrs ago in a house we had the breaker box on the inside of an exterior wall in the kitchen. We hung one of the X's photos over it (he's a photographer). Our kitchen table sat in front of it. |

Loretta, I get the picture now. Heck, you could even put a corner cupboard in that spot in your bedroom. And the spot in the hallway where the door is now can have the thinner type of shutters used as doors, fixed louvers. You would not have to protrude into your bedroom very far if any. A medicine cabinet fits into a 4 inch deep wall space, and such a storage area would provide a lot of space for pharmaceuticals and beauty products. Use as your guide enough depth to store t-paper rolls! Putting the shutters flush with the hall wallboard will give part of the depth. I think leaving the woodwork of the present doorway but changing the door stop location will make a difference. We bought two pair of fixed louver JeldWen bifold shutter doors and used them for our closets. In your case, one pair would work in this doorway. But they make thinner shutters too. |

Loretta, After seeing the last picture I think I would go with the hall storage area too. Especially since it is close to your bath. I agree you could get so much stuff in there. Chris |

oh yes I wouldnt put shelves on the bedroom side, that little corner is a great spot for a piece of furniture. I'm not sure if I'd do it on the hall side either, but I love your hallway colour and your lovely floor! me, I think I'd cover it over |

Hi, Loretta, I vote for shelves in the hallway--I love built-in storage of any kind. And, if you keep the door frame, the rooms can be returned to original floor plan, if the need ever arises. Might be a selling point if ever you decide you want to move to Hawaii, or France, or ...Ohio. |

Your Favorite Tech / Eng. / CS Books?
Here are two suggestions (517 comments)
Introduction to the Theory of Computation by Sipser. This is my favorite computer science textbook together with SICP. It deals with theoretical computer science, mainly automata, computability and complexity theory. It's just 400 pages or so, but covers lots of ground.
Types and Programming Languages by Pierce. This is a very accessible introduction to the theory of programming languages and types.

Write Access
We're glad you are thinking about making the move. Linux has some tools that are designed to let the user run Windows software – the most famous being the Wine API and related utilities, but once you move to Linux, you might discover that your old Windows software is not as critical as you thought. You're much better off working with the native Linux tools if you switch to Linux. The good news is, the Linux environment has equivalents for most of the common tools you are running in Windows, and most of these tools are available for no cost.
I don't know if you could get Microsoft Messenger running in Linux, but Linux has its own messaging tools, including amsn, a Linux tool that lets you communicate on Microsoft's MSN network. Because Hotmail is a webmail tool, theoretically you could reach your Hotmail account from a browser running on any operating system; however, the question of whether Microsoft has succeeded in keeping the Hotmail website free of proprietary constraints is best answered by the people in Redmond. In any case, the mail you see in Hotmail is just ordinary email, and Linux has lots of excellent email client applications.
Article Suggestion
Thank you for publishing your magazine! I have been a subscriber now for a few years, and I enjoy your magazine thoroughly. I would like to suggest something in the way of an article. Why not do something on the distributions based on one of the big distros. As the subject of my email says, I would personally like to see something on the Ubuntu-based distros, for instance, Linux Mint. I hope you consider something like this, I think these distros are doing good work in promoting ease of use and good design, and they deserve to get some lime light!
Mark Murphy
Thanks for the suggestion. We'll see what we can do. Watch future issues for more on Linux Mint and other Ubuntu-based distros.

TO ALL ORDERS. The Shopping Cart is
currently broken as we move to a new updated server (888) 693-0578 |
Selecting a Greenhouse Supply, Hydroponics Gardening Supply, or Hydroponics Garden Supply company is a very important step in ensuring success. You must look at the initial investment. You should also look at the long term service you expect of the company from which you buy your system. Hydro-Gardens has been blending CHEM-GRO custom hydroponic nutrient formulas since 1965, and has been installing vegetable greenhouse complexes since 1968. Hydro-Gardens began growing hydroponic tomatoes in 1972, and expanded the production facility to 2 acres during the mid 70's. Our greenhouse complex was well known in the Colorado Springs/Denver area for its quality tomatoes and European cucumbers. The internationally known BroAdmoor hotel has been a long time customer of Hydro-Gardens' and we installed their hydroponic facility. During the early 1970's, Hydro-Gardens developed and introduced to the industry, the vertical bag system for tomato production. This method quickly replaced the flood and drain growing technique then in use. During that same period, our experimentation and interest led to the introduction of the DeRuiter line of greenhouse hybrid tomato and European cucumber seed to American growers. This line of seed found in our catalog contains the standard varieties that continue to be preferred by most growers. In 1985, Hydro-Gardens understood how the changing regulations for insecticide use would soon effectively eliminate them from the growers arsenal. We searched through the available predator/parasite producers and obtained the licensing rights to bring those beneficials direct to you, the grower. In 1987, Hydro-Gardens developed the insect barrier Fly-Barr. This is currently the only insect barrier available that does not significantly reduce incoming air flow yet will stop white fly and greatly reduce, if not stop, thrips from entering your greenhouse. We began growing the beneficial nematodes you will find in our catalog that same year. Our catalog may be your key to success in this business, including Wholesale Hydroponics Supply and Hydroponics Garden Supply. It has been said that Hydro-Gardens' catalog is "the most instructional and complete catalog ever published". Not only do we list everything you need for vegetable production, but we tell you how to use these products effectively and efficiently. We blend hydroponic nutrients for specific crops; not one blend for all crops. These low salt index formulations provide a higher concentration of usable plant nutrients than any other available. You will generally use 1/2 as much Chem-Gro for your plants as other fertilizers. This savings can be significant over the life of your crop. (About $0.55 per plant space per year) Because we use only the very best ingredients in the correct proportions, you will find you greatly reduce the level of additives other suppliers suggest you add to their fertilizers. Introduced in 1995 is a line of organic fertilizers. All the products you need to grow healthy plants in the soil organically. We've included Humic and Fulvic Acids along with a superior line of products from the sea. Coconut fiber organic media is also available. Hydro-Gardens has brought back some Hobby Sized Greenhouses. We think these will be just what you are looking for if you want to have a small greenhouse in your back yard or use to start your seeds without having to heat your entire greenhouse. As you read through our catalog, keep in mind that every product has been thoroughly tested and proven. Each has been selected for you by us because we selected them for our own use first. We've worked with every item shown on these pages. We'll help you put in your system as if it were our own. We know that our continued growth is tied directly to your success. Success in this, or any other business is predicated on obtaining the best products at the most competitive prices followed up with an "on call" supplier of the services you need. The initial greenhouse decisions you make could spell the difference between success and disaster. Hydro-Gardens has been providing the best vegetable greenhouses at the right price for longer than any other company in the business. Our customers can be found in every state. Hydro-Gardens has also provided this technology transfer to many other countries during the past 20+ years. It makes sense to deal with the company that has the outstanding reputation in the field. You can choose no better than Hydro-Gardens. Our latest endeavor was to purchase Greenlawn Sprinkler Company. Greenlawn Sprinkler has been serving the Colorado community since 1962. They specialize in manufacturing quality lawn sprinkler part. Years of manufacturing experience assure long service life and high value components. The Greenlawn label denotes the careful engineering and design of all Greenlawn products. Greenlawn Sprinkler holds with highest quality of manufacturing on the market today. Valves have a field history exceeding 40 years. Originally cast brass, injection molded plastic since 1965. Durable glass reinforced nylon construction and slow close polyurethane diaphragm assure dependable performance. We have added their high quality line of products to the Hydro-Gardens family to continue to be a complete supplier to the industry. |

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jane098 It's the little things
I chose this hotel for it's location and the promise of a little luxury during a short vacation in Santa Monica CA. The decision was based on the price per room and website photos. We booked a King suite, thinking the word 'suite' indicated more space and the chance to shut a door to a bedroom. The 'suite' is just a room, nothing more, and quite small at that, the word 'suite' should not be used. While the bed was delightfully comfortable the sofabed for my two children was really below standard, you could feel the springs under the incredibly thin mattress. Not good enough. In addition, the bathroom amenities were a disappointment. Toilet tissue like sandpaper, shampoo and conditioner that could be used for dish washing. The bathroom lighting, while fine for general use, was completely inadequate for make up. The staff were friendly and super efficient however we have previously stayed at other hotels in the area and know that we can get better value for our money. Sorry about that.

coming in from the east coast & natural up early it would be nice if coffee/breakfast was available before 6:30am. Even if it was just coffee in the lobby for those that are catching early flights or up doing emails.
Also, I was disappointed with my front desk experience. My name was not placed on the room & I did not receive calls because it did not show I was registered.

Enjoyed our stay in a suite for two nights. Good proximity to beach and some restaurants. Nice room and very pleasant and helfpul staff, though self-parking is overstated and generally not available. Overall, recommend the hotel as a good spot to stay near the beach in Santa Monica though be prepared to pay for valet parking.

I was thrilled upon opening the door to my room to find a nicely appointed room, beautiful bedding and a mini fridge. But the stay was made perfect when I walked out onto the large, private balcony with lounge chairs facing the ocean. I kept the door open at night and enjoyed cool, fresh air.
In addition, the staff were very accommodating. Overall I was very pleased.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Ore522 Expectations not exceeded.
I paid an extra $50 per night because I had four people in my double room. Still, I had to call housekeeping on both days of my stay to get bath towels for the two extra people. There was a $22 per day parking surcharge despite the fact I used the "complimentary free parking" garage. And, to charge extra for wi-fi access after what I paid for the room is robbery.

The decor is lovely in the lobby and the room. The staff was very responsive. For shopping and restaurants you have to walk 1/2 mile to a mile. The beach is 5 blocks away.
My suggestion is the hotel have a car to take you to beach and restaurants within a 10 block area.

Had a comfortable stay. Location is close enough to the beach to walk. On-premise staff did not honor included full breakfast which was supposed to be included with package rate. Multiple attempts to clear up the issue with multiple staff members was not successful, and in the end, I paid out of pocket for meals that should have been included/pre-paid for.

Rated 3 out of 5 by wahorn Great Decor, but unfavorable location
I thought the rooms were very nice, but the "beach view" that i thought i was getting was only visible through part of my terrace, and looked over more of the convention center and local high school.
The hotel is also quite a walk from the Santa Monica Pier and beach, and would not recommend it to most if you want to be closer to the action.

Incredibly overpriced room service and bar food. Bar area is dark and boring with terrible music - no wonder this hotel is a lifeless ghost town. It's like they're allergic to customers.
When we explained our concerns about the boring atmosphere and severely-overpriced food to the bartender, she suggested maybe we should just go somewhere else. Nice.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AndyO Nice hotel, great staff
The hotel is nice and exceptional staff. Unfortunately, the room service meal i had was horrible: Wilted, over-dressed salad that tasted dirty and an overcooked hamburger with no mayo, ketchup, mustard included. The ocean views are not worth paying for unless you're above the 5th floor - otherwise you're just looking at a bunch of apartment buildings.

I had been looking forward to my stay at the Sheraton in Santa Monica as part of my Highway 1 trip but was left extremely disappointed with the location of the hotel and in particular the room (having paid for an upgrade to club). The club lounge was also poor value for the extra money paid. Finally, the pool was very small for the size of the hotel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AE80 Beautiful ocean views
We only stayed at the hotel for one night, but were immediately upgraded to a junior suite on the Starwood level at check in. The room was gorgeous - a double balcony with a direct view of the ocean. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

We went to the Santa Monica area for the fun in the sun. The hotel was drab, the pool area small and dated. There was no jacuzzi. There is inadequate parking and the fees for valet are very high, with no previous discussion/warning of lack of parking. We would not recommend this hotel and would not stay there again. This is at best a 2 star hotel.

Rated 3 out of 5 by dbly42 The extra step
When I checked in on Monday, I told the desk person I was expecting a package the next day. Guy says, "Ok, we'll be sure to send it to you when it arrives." What he DIDN'T do, was make any note of it in the system. Next day comes, I speak with the evening clerk asking about my package who says it hasn't arrived.
The next morning (Wednesday), I call down asking again. Again, I hear no. After verifying the address and the arrival of the package online, I go to the lobby. I speak in person to a lady who again tells me nothing has arrived after looking halfheartedly. I tell her I have confirmed it is here. Find it. She checks again. Oh guess what! Here it is! Oh, well the writing was a little smudged so we couldn't tell. Well guess what? If you had written down that I was expecting a package maybe you could have put two and two together that it was mine, since special delivery, overnight packages don't just magically appear.
The laziness of the staff almost led to me not receiving my driver's license which could have prevented my return flight home.
Your hotel also has the slowest check-in process I've ever seen.

The reason I chose this hotel because it was close to LAX and I can avoid traffic. However, I was really disappointed with the check out process. The front desk staff was very helpful while the bell man and the valet took over half an hour to get my luggues and my car. Luckily, my flight was delayed otherwise I would surely miss the flight.

Close to many good restaurants and the Santa Monica activities but not so close as to be in the frenzied, crowded section. Our room was in the front of the hotel so we couldn't leave the deck door open due to loud traffic noises. In the future we will request a quit room.

Business / Apple's Competitive Advantages 1. What, historically, have been Apple's competitive advantages? Apple has had various competitive advantages since its origin until the present. Firstly, Apple's innovation has always been its hallmark. Beginning with the first "Apple I" till the "iPad 2", Apple products have change the development of the market many times, specially during the last decade, with the first iPod's lunch. Although Apple's single technologies have not been walkthroughs created by the company itself, it has developed the characteristics of these technologies and combined them in a way that had never been done before. One of Apple's main ways to innovate is through the ease of use of its products, another of its big competitive advantages. Apple's products are popularly considered as very intuitive and, although MP3 players already existed in 2001 or multi-touch surfaces in 2007, products like the iPod and iPhone allow the use of these technologies and devices in a very practical way with an almost vertical learning curve. Besides this ease-to-use, Apple has "plug & play" oriented designs: devices ready to be used with a series of peripherals without requiring prior knowledge. This has led Mac computers to be "digital hubs" of the new digital devices. Moreover, Apple has always had a proprietary design. Apple has never licensed any of its products or designs (except during Spindler's management). This means that it has always had a wide control over its value chain, from the designs from scratch of their computers, till the software and its marketing or sales. It has a widely vertical integrated business and nowadays, it is even beginning to design its own microchips. This has led to a very unique differentiation that can be hardly found in competitors' products. That is why one of Apple's most typical characteristics are its products' elegant and state-of-the-art industrial designs and superior software (OS). Al... |

We have been dealing with horrible upstairs neighbors for about 5 months now. We have complained to the management and they in turn have notified the upstairs neighbors they must be quiet. They have 2 younger kids that rip from one end to the other which is awful pounding on our ceilings. The apts are very large and long 1350sq ft and straight through. The man upstairs, we believe, beats his wife and screams violently at the kids so out of fear for his family we have stopped complaining. What do we do? We are going to try and just buy a house in March when our lease is up, but is it best to keep the family safe from this monster and suffer the noise or do we complain?
These are extremely luxurious apts and I cannot believe such trash got in here. We live on the end, the unit next to us is the model so it is empty and the first 5 years we lived here we joked the upstairs people levitated because we never even heard them walk, now this. It is so beautiful here, built like homes, the best of everything, we are right next to the pool and sauna/fitness center and live on a lake, and here this violent creep has ruined our home.

Call the police. What part of domestic violence are you failing to understand? Call the police. |
I agree. Call the police. Tell no one that you have done so, as you don't want the abuser to come after you. Call while a fight is going on, so the police have a chance to get there and hear/see for themselves what's happening. If calling the police doesn't work, call Child Protective Services. Abuse doesn't have to be physical for them to step in to protect the children. |

This post is so strange I think it might be fake. |

Sorry, I should have stated, we have called the police, but unless the wife is willing to do something the police just tell them to be quiet and leave. We can't press charges on an abuser, the wife has too. You kind of feel left to deal on your own when the police shrug it off and act uninterested as long as the wife pretends things are great. We actually have a security guard and he lives on the premises, right across the street from this idiot, management knows as well. We pretty much were told the same thing as the above poster, to call the guard or the manager when they will be making the noise. I have called when the noise is going on and once he was busy with new tenants in the office and another time he was showing the model apt, so much for that. Again, sorry I didn't mention the police were our first idea, but that has long since proven unsuccessful. angel |

In that case, you call child protective services, or whatever the agency is called in your state. They have more leeway than the police in many cases. |

Believe me, they've been called, in fact, we found out they had moved out of state due to issues. There is just nothing we can do, even the manager has tried to intervene and we are just gonna buy a house, it's already in the works and now that, that is in the process, I have been able to just ignore them knowing it IS coming to an end! angel |

I wonder the same thing how trash end up in certain buildings. Everyone has money these days weather legally or illegally earner so one cannot think expensive place would be free of them. Pleas before you leave,hand the woman pamphlets that has info in womens shelters and numbers etc.Some women take a long time before they can muster up strength to leave a bad situation,Hopefully one day she does for the sake of her children. |
Angel47630: "These are extremely luxurious apts and I cannot believe such trash got in here." hailey_ull: "Everyone has money these days weather legally or illegally earner so one cannot think expensive place would be free of them." Wow. Because spousal abuse is limited to the poor or the newly-rich, i.e., the cheating poor. This is an extremely nice bulletin board, I can't believe such bigotry got in here. |
If you are not afraid of retaliation from the monster upstairs complain again to management. Complain again and again until they get sick of you. If this fails to yield any results call the cops the minute you hear the screaming start again. |
