We live in a 100 year old house and the wood is beautiful, however the baseboards are in really bad shape. I was wondering if the baseboards could be painted white, but leave the trim around the doors and windows their natural wood. Do you think this would be OK? I'm more concerned about the base meeting the door trim of a 6 feet wide opening to the living room.
I can't find any pictures of this kind of thing so I'm thinking it's probably not in "good form" ? ...thanks for any advice you can give me. |

You have to look at it not us,paint it if you think it would look better. Me,I don't really like natural trim unless it is like perfect,so I would paint it all, but that's just me. |
And I'm just the opposite - like natural wood and am kind of sick of everything being painted out white. However, apart from that, it's YOUR house, you have to live with it 24/7, who cares about 'form' - unless you're in some kind of historical home that you entered into after signing that nothing original would be touched, and that you'll keep a plaque out in front and hold tours :-)! No one is going to walk in and pass judgment on you if you chose to keep some natural wood unpainted in your own house - they're much too busy worrying (and probably needlessly) about their own places. In fact they'll likely think you're very brave for not being a sheep! |
Have you thought about refinishing the baseboard wood? If your finish is original shellac, it's easy to get that off, restain and reshellac. |
We have lived in this house for 20 years and never painted the trim. I do like the natural wood trim. It's not about painting it white or not or what people necessarily think. We're going through renovations and I realize how bad the base boards are and I NEED to paint them. I'm just wondering if it would look silly if I just painted the base trim and not the rest of the trim of the house. |
I'm thinking, yes it would probably look strange, especially if you have the generously wide baseboards. |
I live in a 90+ year old house, and we have all kinds of combinations. My opinion is do what you want and then decide after the base is painted if you prefer to paint any more of the trim. In our dining room I spent 8 months painstakingly stripping and refinishing the wood trim to match the living room. In the bedroom, trim is painted, but crown is oak which matches the floors and furniture. In the hallway, tried to strip the base, but it had never been varnished and was ridiculously hard so we painted it dark brown but when we added the picture molding went with walnut stained oak. The rest of the wood trim is currently painted. The center of 3 hall doors are stripped and stained walnut because that was the original style of these doors. Still thinking about whether I'd like to paint the base to match the door trim instead. Here's a picture of the hallway. Its not finished, as we will be recreating the original stencil discovered at the end of the hallway (had been under a wallpaper mural). And here's looking the other direction. This hallways is only 30 inches wide! |

Why not another color than white which is less of a contrast to your natural wood trim? I have three thoughts, all of which to keep in mind approximating the Tone of your natural wood: 1) if your walls are papered pick a color from the paper (or shade darker than the back ground,) if painted go a shade darker than the paint I assume that the paper or paint looks good against the natural door trim so why not a color from it? 2) Assuming that the wood has some varying tones to it, choose a middle range toward the dark of the woodwork and paint the baseboard that color. 3) Apply above ideas to what ever your floor is like. Before doing the whole thing buy a quart and either paint just a few feet of baseboard around the big door you are most worried about or paint some poster board strips and put them along there. Leave for a couple of days to decide. Goodluck and post pics, I'd love to see what you decide. (Ps my apologies if I forgot what you said about your walls, so many posts!) Lauren, I love your hall color, just painted my living room /dining room that color (with ivory trim). |
Thanks, well that seems to work, it looks very nice Lauren. Maybe what I'll do, as you suggested, is paint the trim and see how it looks and if it looks rediculous than I'll just paint the trim that meets the base boards. I do think it would still look ok if I left the trim around the windows the natural oak wood. I know it's something I have to figure out, for me it's just such a HUGE decision to paint the wood, almost seems sacreligious (sp). |

If you have a very fancy style house, victorian or what ever, how about "gold" leaf on the baseboard? Ihave used a product called "real imitation gold leaf" (lol) and it looks quite nice. Its not gold so the price isn't bad, but it comes in squares and is applied like the real thing so the look is good. Abit of stain to age then poly. Oh well, I'm probably just jealous cuz my house tho very nice to live in is very plain. kathy |
I have one more suggestion: Minwax Polyshades. It comes in a bottle, all different wood tints. I used this product after stripping the oak in the dining room...it really corrects an uneven finish. I don't have great before pictures of the stripped wood...but here is one that shows the stripped baseboard that surprised us with pine instead of oak and the stripped but un-refinished oak on the left And here is a picture after using sponging on a few coats of Minwax polyshades (also shows the oak baseboard on the right that meets up with the 4' length of pine): |
Alrighty, now I'm now more indecisive than ever. Thanks for the great ideas. The color on my walls are going to lean towards yellow, not sure about the gold leaf thing, but what a great idea. Maybe there is copper or something. The problem with my baseboards is that some of it is pine and some of it is oak, big difference. Some shoemaker did some renovations before we moved in the place 20 years ago and hacked at the baseboards when he removed a wall between the living and dining room. There are pieces of baseboards in places, like a puzzle. I don't know what the heck went on, but I'm sure he had a few scotches before he did the work. The idea about going with a darker color than the wall may be a good idea....have to think about it. Thankyou. |
If you do decide to paint, you might consider putting down a coat of shellac first. That way if someone wants to strip it back to the original in the future, it will make it a whole lot easier for them :-) |
hi OP I am currently removing white paint from my stair risers (they were originally dark stained). I am not doing it because i dislike the white....actually i like it. however, with all the foot traffic (similar to that a baseboard would face), the white paint gets dinged and very dark spots show through. i am sick of touchups... so i am going back to dark. fwiw, i like the suggestion of polyshades or else just paint or glaze in a similar brown to the existing woodwork to even out the finish. good luck |

In old houses (Greek revival, esp.) the baseboards would be marbelized (faux mabre)while the rest of the woodwork was a trim color. In service areas (kitchen, scullery, butlers pantry) the baseboards were often done black (and the strip across the bottom of the doors, too) to hide mop marks and scuffs. Casey |
- Posted by kashka_kat (My Page) on Tue, Dec 2, 08 at 10:44
What I've done in previous houses (& it looked really good) was to take the color of the wall and take it down to the floor, i.e. paint the baseboard in a satin or semi gloss version of the wall color. It makes the space seem visually "neater" or less cluttery, than if you had it another color. However if there is not paint on them currently then I would think twice about painting - if they can be easily refinished Id go that route |

Well without knowing what you like to eat and what you consider "pricey," I'd recommend browsing the menus to see what suits you. http://www.allearsnet.com/menu/menus.htm
The only restaurant that requires a dress code is V&A's.
Some of my favorite places to eat are Le Cellier, Brown Derby, Restaurant Marrakesh, and 'Ohana. If you don't want kiddish, then you may want to avoid the character meals. If you are looking for romantic atmosphere, then I would avoid the buffet restaurants. I just don't find buffets to be romantic when you are fetching your own food.

Neurogenic Bladder
Neurogenic bladder is abnormal bladder function caused by a nerve problem. The bladder may empty too often or at the wrong time ( incontinence) or the bladder may be unable to completely empty the urine (urinary retention). In this case, urine may leak out of the overfilled bladder.
Contact your doctor if you think you may have this condition. The sooner it is treated, the lower the chance of developing other serious conditions, such as a urinary tract infection.

Our market is very boring. A handful of veggie growers all selling basically the same thing. Thus we aren't growing. I've been scouring the net for ideas of some things I could do to differentiate myself as well as add a little pizazz to the place. |

One guy started bringing mushrooms. Those got some interest going. I'm going to try your suggestion of flowers. My daughter had grown some zinnias for a 4h project one year and I toOk some just to see if I could get her a little pocket money. They sold well |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Tue, Feb 5, 13 at 11:24
Actually I've seen a vendor selling ice cream. I don't remember if he has cows or goats, but he made the ice cream from scratch and sold a certain number of varieties each week. He had a small freezer that he plugged in to keep the ice cream frozen. It was really good. Another person grows flowers, just to give them away to his customers versus selling them. He took donations for the seeds, but never really tried to sell them. |
I am always doing something interesting to catch the customers attention. This is either an interesting crop, a sample of something, a recipe, a witty sign or just a huge pile of a crop. An interesting crop, maybe an odd color of tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, lemon cucumbers, or one of my favorite is round zucchini. There are 3 colors. I grow a few plants of each one. They don't sell real well, but they get people to stop at your booth. I would make more money if I charged to pick them up! But now they are stopped, they see how nice my other stuff is and I usually end up making a sale. Sometimes I give out samples, must check your local markets rules and states regulations. Sometimes I add a Witty Comment to my signs, One market I was super busy with family obligations the night before. I had to pick just about everything in the dark. SO I added comments like "Midnight Carrots", "Full Moon Zucchini", "Peek-a-boo Peppers" It made people ask and even a few came back and ask if I had any of those "Midnight Carrots" this week. Finally, a huge pile. I had a massive amount of cherry tomatoes one week, well over 100 pints. I usually set out 30-40 for a nice selection. This time i put them all out. It took 1.5 tables to put them out, but in made for lots of interest. Not sure if this is what you are talking about, but this is what I do to make things interesting. |
I'm always trying something different. One year I grew an incredible amount of gourds. Even though I sold most, I still ended up w/22 extra bushels. After they dried, I turned them into birdhouses, toadhouses, or just some kind of art. I'd paint them up in the colors and mascots of local or professional sports teams, and they drew a lot of attention. I also sell wild crops like persimmons, assorted nuts, and paw paws. I chip up my fruit tree prunings and sell them as smoking wood, and I'll bring a couple of bundles of cut wood along to sell as firewood. Wild mushrooms have also become a popular item to sell. As for propagated 'shrooms, I innoculated some logs last year and will see if they produce this year. I'm also the guy w/white tomatoes and orange and yellow watermelons. |

Jrslick, those are really great suggestions! I'm an avid sign displayer. My customer's favorite sign...Best Basil. Simple yet very convincing with the strong aroma it gives as the wind picks up! I also, give free seasonal receipes with purchase (ie: tomato, pepper, etc) |
Ha, Your sign, "Best Basil" reminded me of something interesting I read. In advertising, there are some products considered so similar (like toothpaste, gasoline, cigarettes). Basil could be one of them (arguably). Random tangent...... |

I do alot of what Jay mentioned. Some of my signs: "Crying Onions", Pretty Tomatoes" and "Ungly Tomatoes"(the deformed ones that I sell for less when I don't have time to mess with them. I make up "Salad Baskets", I put 2 mini heads of lettuce(1 red and 1 green),2 med diff colored carrots,1 med sweet red onion,1 med cuke and 1 cup of mix colored cherry toms. I also do a "Stirfry Basket": 2 sm eggplant,snow peas,2 sm zukes, 1 med sweet red onion or leeks,fennel,okra or whatever else works. These sell GREAT here !! In early/mid May I make "Farmer's Market Cookies"(sugar cookies) farm animal cut outs , the pigs, cows, and ducks sell the best. I frost them completely with frosting paint (whatever color), then I make 2 more colors,put into 1/2 oz porsion cups fill 1/3 full w/covers. then I put 1 cookie,2 cups (2 diff colors) and 1 paint brush into a baggie. (I buy a box of 100 at a craft store).Here is a pic of the ones I do in Oct. The kids love to paint them the way they want to and lick the brush !! Deb |

I'm definitely going to do some baked goods. We have a cottage law now and I used to have a cake bakery so I think I have some good skills I that. I'm also thinking about some pet items, healthy dog treats, bird treats maybe even some cedar houses and feeders. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 6, 13 at 20:40
Baked goods sell better than veggies but have higher overhead. I usually bake one thing on Wednesday nights. A double layer cake in a glass cake stand that is cut to order (small paper plates and saran wrap, optional fork) sells best. People like how that looks. I sell flowers and herbs but they take way more time than it is worth and they sell poorly. As for other stuff, I feel we need to get some other vendors with exciting products. I would like to see more ready to serve food, especially food trucks with corn dogs or whatever. We had an ice cream vendor one summer. I do baskets or 'kits' but they sell well sometimes and poorly other times. I've done other stuff that people refused to buy despite loving because they felt it was an idea they could then make themselves, such as painted herb boxes, garden in a pot and that kind of thing. I had this cute wood box my mom painted wonderfully shabby chic and I put around 6 herb plants in it. It was very heavy. I brought it week after week and every one complimented it but no one would buy it. I ended up giving it to the CSA that claimed it first. However in our area it is a little rural/suburban and so people like to do their own thing and grow their own tomatoes and stuff. My goal for increased sales this year is having greens through summer. I think that is something people want. |

Thanks for the idea on the cake. I definitely Plan to do baked goods. I had a successful cake shoP, leased it out to a young gal because I had gotten more business than I could handle with my good paying part time job. She ran it in the ground in a year. But people still ask me about my buttercream frosting when they recognize me. Do you think the cake does better than cupcakes? |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 8, 13 at 22:09
I think it does but who knows? I made cupcakes last week and didn't sell a ton, but many times sell a whole cake. I use local eggs and local sunflower oil along with cane sugar to avoid GMOs and write it on the sign. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Sat, Feb 9, 13 at 8:17
In my market, cupcakes sell better. I think it's because sometimes a whole cake is too much for 1-3 people to consume. Maybe some small cakes, I notice that the grocerys are doing that. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 9, 13 at 23:53
I don't sell whole cakes. I sell slices, cut to order off a cake in a cake stand. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Sun, Feb 10, 13 at 11:25
That makes sense. At our market, those pieces would have to be pre-cut and pre-wrapped in a certified kitchen. In my opinion, there's getting to be TOO many rules. |
Can't sell baked goods here without a commercial kitchen and a bakery license. That was one thing that bugged me at our old market, seems like most people came for the bakery (walking around eating "dirt bombs" - some sort of muffin?). I think I'm going to do market at YMCA this year, MM is the nutritionist and she's pushing the healthy local stuff. No one wanted kale or chard at old market, she says they'd sell out at hers... |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 11, 13 at 21:55
We are lucky to have very lenient rules. |
- Posted by veggievicki 7b (My Page) on Tue, Feb 12, 13 at 9:31
I think they'd let us try about anything as long as it was legal. It's small and has struggled. Can't get customers because of lack of farmers can't get farmers because of lack of customers |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Tue, Feb 12, 13 at 14:43
Most of the rules are state and county rules. |
I've been doing my own version of a CSA basket (but all grown on my land). Basically, an assortment of what is freshest, and in abundance that week, and a slightly discounted price, already put together for the customers... They don't have to pick up individual items, one stop shop. And with the more "unique" vegetables, I provide at least one recipe to utilize it. Food for thought, works well for me! |

I'm growing the little purple ornamental peppers which I will transplant into small pots and sell when the peppers are on the plants. Also am starting lots of those little colored sweet peppers because they will ripen sooner and hopefully get some customers before the big ones are ready. |
- Posted by veggievicki 7b (My Page) on Fri, Feb 22, 13 at 17:36
I think at our market there are too many people bringing the same thing. When you walk down the tables you see almost identical products. Not only that, they are pretty much the same thing that is in abundance in people's own gardens. And being a rural area, a LOT of people garden and simply give away their extras when it is abundant, making it even harder to make the farmer's market appealing. We have one really serious market gardener who is using high tunnels and getting out the lettuces and other cold crops, which typically here in the South, people just don't traditionally grow those. They're really the heart of this market. It seems people are bored with what is offered. I've seen many walk straight down the tables, turn around and get in their car and leave. It seems we're missing an opportunity, but I'm not sure what that is. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 23, 13 at 21:33
I also live where people have their own gardens much of the time and that is getting worse. First I sell heirloom plants which brings in money but hopefully doesn't keep them from buying stuff in the season. Anyway I think the only thing to really do is get stuff to grow out of season. That is why I spent money on low tunnel building supplies and shade fabric. |
- Posted by veggievicki 7b (My Page) on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 21:12
I think you're right. Here I think the only way to do much good with veggies is to 1) do season extenders like you said 2) do stuff that people don't traditionally grow. Here that is stuff like broccoli, asparagus, snow peas, lettuce, herbs. Everybody has tomatoes and squash 3) do old timey stuff that's not in the store. By that I mean stuff they ate as a kid that's not typically at Krogers. Here that is purple hull peas, butter beans, and specific varieties of corn. 4) do stuff that is too big spaced for back yard gardens. Here that is watermelons and cantelope. 5) do stuff that's in the store but not fresh. Okra for us. Grocery store okra is gross. 6) fruit. Not many vendors have fruit but they all have tomatoes, peppers, squash and green beans. These are my strategies, plus next year I plan on trying to have a pretty good selection of seedlings. Lowe's has just about shut down all the nurseries in our town. The Bonnie plants have gotten pretty darn high and I think I can price competitively against them as well as offering single pots of some things. For example, who wants six Jalepeno plants. I get strawberry plants from my supplier for 24 cents each. What a rip off what Lowe's charges for those! |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 25, 13 at 23:24
Good points! No one grows broccoli but everyone eats it. No one else at market sells it but I had 2 bad years without having enough to bring to market. |
- Posted by veggievicki 7b (My Page) on Tue, Feb 26, 13 at 8:22
I've got 144 plants set out. We'll see how they do. I've had trouble getting them to make much of a head in the spring because they tend to bolt before I can get any size on them. I really pushed it, set them out late January. I did some under a low tunnel and some in the field. They're both at about the same growth, although one variety is doing a little better both ways. I've had much better success in the fall garden, but our market shuts down in October. This year I'm going to try to winter them over. If it looks like it will get too warm, I'm thinking I'll cut them and sell as florets, worst case scenario. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 26, 13 at 16:46
If we have winter markets here, how much more so should you! I am planting about 240 broccoli plants in spring. 1/3 will be pulled after heading and the rest will be allowed to make side shoots. Some of them are broccolini plants too. Then in summer I will plant about 100 more for fall. Here it is really hard to get that kind of plant to produce before fall. That means I have to start them in June and plant out in July. Usually you aren't thinking about fall stuff in June. I am using white on black plastic and moving the low tunnel hoops there and using shade fabric on it. |

I burst out of the top-most elevator onto the rooftop of the main building at the center of Battlefield 4's Siege of Shanghai. Frantically, I look around and spot an enemy recon sitting parallel to me on the other roof, laying waste to my squad mates in the floor below me. Ten rounds later, I've dispatched the sniper and made way for my team to push over to the other side.
As I peek over the roof edge, I begin exchanging fire with a recently spawned enemy assault. It was just after we began this exchange, I heard a creak. Or as experienced beta players know it, a warning. The building began to pitch back and forth as I'm spraying wildly, trying to take the enemy out before I have to parachute to safety. We're both refusing to give up and dive off, but it's too late for both of us. We die as the building crumbles beneath our feet and pulls us into the depths of its concrete grave. This is Battlefield 4.
My first impressions of Battlefield 4 came from E3 2013, in sunny Los Angeles, where I got to play an Alpha build of the game on a high end PC, but that was extremely limited and incomplete. The game ran well enough for an Alpha build. It was a bit choppy, but it was to be expected in such an early build. The game left a lasting impression, as more of the same 2.0. The beta expanded on this and gave me a chance to really experience the changes in BF4 from BF3 and for an idea on how I felt about BF4. (The BF4 Open Beta just went up this morning.)
I will start off with, after playing BF4's Beta, I no longer want to go back to play BF3, despite my owning BF3 Premium. Let's start with Battlelog's updates.
A Newer, Cleaner Battlelog
The changes to Battlelog, really flesh out the scale of the game and simplify much of the cluttered interface of BF3. The improvement to the interface makes things a bit easier to navigate and really see what unlock, mission/assignment, or medal you are chasing. The interface is very visual, with large outlines of the possible weapons and swatches of the medals to show you what you can get.
Menus and Multi-Colored Glow Worms?
The menus are a massive improvement over the Battlefield 3 menus, with the ability to click on the map to deploy and list formats for everything. The squad menu has been redone to see your squad mates, as well as other squads. The remake of the loadout page is slightly clunky, with the TO DEPLOY button leading back to the map. A couple times I caught myself hesitant to click it as I kept thinking it was a DEPLOY button. Of course I wanted to review the map before picking a spawn location, but this is a super minor nag. DICE also went above and beyond with the colorblindness modes, addressing three different types of colorblindness. Now, we can move on to the actual gameplay.
The beta runs pretty well on a modern machine, with my GTX670 at reference 680 speeds keeping up fairly well at about 60 FPS on "Ultra" spec. (Full Ultra spec is enabled but not the exact spec it will be in the end, if I remember correctly.) I didn't want to focus too much on performance, as I expect the game to be much more polished on release, with most of the hitching fixed.
A Welcome Revision to a Great Formula
The gameplay is extremely similar to BF3, but slightly slower paced. The guns feel very convincing, but on normal mode (the only mode available in the beta) I felt like people were massive bullet sponges. Two people dumping an entire clips into each other at point blank range, with hit indicators galore, only for one of use to reload slightly faster and get a lucky round to the others head is a bit annoying. Lag and lack of optimization may play a role in this as well though. I also typically play hardcore on BF3, further skewing my judgment on the toughness of e-flesh and flak jackets in BF4.
Vehicles are there in full force in the beta, with the jets being the only noticeable exclusion. I flew the helicopter first, which ended in my clipping a skyscraper with my tail rotor and spinning to my doom. I figured I had retained my helo skills I picked up from BF3, but alas I think my relentless League of Legends play has caused them to deteriorate.
The inclusion of the awesome 'Levolution' gameplay into the Frostbite Engine makes the game pretty exciting, even if it's one building collapsing at a near random time. The tactic introduced makes the game a bit fresher than a mere rehash of BF3. Plus the battle for the rubble really makes for interesting gameplay, with tons of nooks and crannies to hide in to bushwhack people sprinting to cap. Suppression works wonderfully well in the beta as well, with more medals given out for shooting at people and the screen blurring and jarring when you're being fired at.
Final Thoughts. For Now…
All in all I think that the BF4 Beta is a pretty fun beta, that highlights the things to come. I wasn't too excited before E3, but the new idea of Levolution really transformed my typical play experience and the dynamic maps makes me pretty excited to see the final release. For the time being though, I'll be busy with the BF4 Beta in my gaming time. Get to gaming in the BF4 Open Beta now at this link!

If you really have a craving to play Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (and let's face it – who doesn't?) but don't have your Sega Genesis anymore, then guess what? Sega is bringing a ton of 16-bit Genesis games to the PC via digital distribution platforms, like Steam.
Sega has added 10 new titles to the list of downloadable Genesis games emulated for the PC. With more than 70 Genesis titles already ported over to the Wii, it's getting tougher to find good games to add to the Virtual Console.
The highlights from thelaundry list of newly announced titles:
Fatal Labyrinth
Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
Bonanza Bros
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Eternal Champions
Ecco Jr
Super Thunder Blade
Galaxy Force II
"We're happy to be bringing back more of these great memories our fans are asking for," said Sega's VP of digital distribution Haruki Satomi in a statement. For the most part, these are pretty much Genesis poster children, but we have to wonder who out there actually has "great memories" of playing Columns.
Above: If you had one of these in the early 1990s, you know what it gave you: instant friends!
In addition to having a digital distribution stream, Sega also offers its own casual online gaming service, which includes a very cool Genesis USB controller. Sega has vintage console games available for download across numerous platforms including the iPhone, iPad, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii. Clearly it will not be happy until everyone has access to Sonic no matter what electronic device they own.
The new slate of downloadable games are available on Steam, GamersGate, and other digital distribution sites, at a price of $1.99 each.

This is for a home garden, but I thought this forum might be the best place to ask the question. I started these sweet pea seedlings indoors, hardened them off for a week, and then planted them about 3 weeks ago (zone 5 north central Mass). They seem to be blanching out. The photo isn't that great but a few of the leaves are almost white at the ends (top oldest leaves). The bed was heavily amended with compost and I've been giving them regular water. Not sure whether it's anything to worry about, but, well, I guess I'm worrying anyway! |
Follow-Up Postings:
My sweet pea's do the same thing every year and I think I must be the worst gardener alive....but somehow they send a bunch of fresh new shoots out and the plants begin to look wonderful...so don't worry they should come out fine. Jan |
Thanks so much for your reply. I was looking at them again this morning - and worrying. They seem even yellower, not growing much etc. A couple beds over I have shell and snap peas coming up that are dark green and look very healthy. I've read over and over that sweet peas like it cool and that's what it has been, but maybe when the warmer weather strikes in June, they'll take off. Hope so! |
My sweet peas are doing the same here in Zone 4. Interestingly I am still holding some of the seedlings in an unheated greenhouse and they are looking much better. The bunch I planted out and the bunch still in containers in the greenhouse were from the same seed stock and sown the same day. The outdoor planted seedlings(May2nd) are pale and stunted in comparison. All plants(indoors & out) have been pinched off about the same time and the ones out are not branching nearly as fast nor as much as the ones still in containers. Perhaps the cool spring and fluctuating temps are the reason. It's certainly not too much water as we've had very little precipitation. I'm not sure myself and was thinking to side dress with some manure or some thing. I'm amazed at the growth of the ones in containers but afraid to transplant them out for fear of seeing poor results. Good luck with yours & I sure hope they bounce back for you. BTW your plants look far more rigorous than mine right now. Keep us posted. |
kanuk, my seedlings are not much better. They may have grown some but haven't been thriving and still look yellowish. I'm wondering now if I didn't harden them off enough. Maybe this is sunburn, or something of the sort. This is the first year I've grown sweet peas indoors from seed. I've done it a few years with vegetable seedlings, and I was just looking up information about how long to harden those off when I thought this might be the issue with the sweet peas. Did you harden yours off before planting out? Have you done this before with different results? I was so excited about these sweet peas getting a jump start, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Would love to figure out why. |

I have a weird thing going on with my Old Spice. I have grown these sweet peas in the same bed for years now with great success, this year, I'm not so lucky. Some of the plants have yellowed at the base and the leaves and the flowers have taken on a mosaic yellow design. The flowers are striped and pinched and very small. This looks like something terrible and I am pulling all the affected plants and burning them. This means, unfortunately, that I will not be able to use this years seed for next year. As to the planting and hardening off, I have found that by far the best method of growing these is to sow the seed in August/September outside, where they are to flower and let them overwinter. The resulting seedlings are usually strong well branched and ready to flower early in the season. That being said, I am in a zone 7, but it freezes quite regularly here in the winter and the seedlings couldnt care less! Best of luck. Kat |

I too had this problem and thought it was: To much water, my zone, ext but when my bean plants started doing the same thing. WOW I know what is was. You need to get some EPSON Salt this adds Magnesium and Sulfer and will fix the problem. Add in water or put strait around your plants: one tabespoon per foot plant height every two weeks. If they are yellow now! put 1/2 cup per gal of water and give to your plants. |

There are lots of CPU Usage questions appropriately answered by "top" etc, but I am writing my own monitoring app for one particular machine, and want to know where CPU Usage details are in the filesystem of Ubuntu 13.10 . In particular I want to distinguish between usage by VirtualBox, and by boinc+boincmgr+4*setiathome threads, and the rest, (? and whatever remains uncounted ?).
Intel D2700 - 2 cores, 4 logical
I can make it work, sort of, by calling top -n -1
every second from my app, and digging through the response lines for the info, but as you can see, the ticks for top, boinc (50% usage) and my app drift out of step every few minutes, so a non-top version would be much more direct:

I'm quite the novice cook, so I don't need anything fancy. But, we are building a custom home and are choosing our appliances and I want it to be beautiful (with the hopes that my cooking skills will improve along the way). We have a stone surround that will go around the range/rangetop. I was originally planning to go with a 36" range (Kitchenaid or NXR) but I currently have double wall ovens and am worried I will miss them (I love them). So, now I'm thinking about a 36" rangetop with double wall ovens. Do you think the rangetop will look ok with a stone surround (or do we need the impact of a range)? |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are threads that discuss the merits of wall ovens vs. ranges, and it's up to each person to decide what s/he likes best. But if you know you love your double wall ovens, you should get them. I think it's important to choose function first, then design the beauty around it. I prefer wall ovens, so I chose a double wall oven and an induction cooktop. Many people choose wall ovens and gas range tops. I think it will look fine. If you put drawers underneath the cooktop, it's very convenient for your pots and pans. With induction, I can also have a drawer full of implements and knives right underneath. Maybe you can do this with gas, too(I don't know about gas, sorry). |
I have to agree on an induction cooktop. Many top ranked chefs now have induction kitchens Your design choices or wide, but the ventilation requirements are significantly less than gas. Although, prior to opening Dinner, Palmer-Watts's experience of induction was limited to portable single hobs at the Fat Duck, it was the power source chosen for the suite. "I chose induction for its control and efficiency," he says. "It's not bellowing out heat and is more precise and so easy to keep clean." |

Some get a 36" gas range and a single wall oven. I think it would be the ideal set up for me. But it takes a lot of space and $$. |

And here I was thinking we were random …
Boston Celtics big man Shaquille O'Neal sent a tweet to his some three million followers Thursday afternoon that he was headed to Harvard Square in Massachusetts to pose silently for photographs.
After a quick bite, that's exactly what he did.
For more than an hour, the 38-year-old NBA veteran posed as a statue while dozens of curious onlookers took pictures. He didn't speak. He barely smiled. He just sat there.
[Bonus: 10 Best 'Shaqtue' Photos]
Why? Well, he had his asinine reasons.
"The idea of the Shaq statue originated from watching TV one day," Shaq told ESPN. "I was watching the royal British guards. If you know anything about those guys they have tremendous discipline. The other idea is I always wanted to tell people I went to Harvard."
The only thing missing was a lil' Nate Robinson perched up on Shaq's shoulder like a pigeon.
Kevin Garnett knows what I'm talking about …

Waiting for Orestes: Electra
Onto a semi-darkened stage empty but for a cluster of oriental gong and Japanese drums enter five men in wheelchairs and clad only in shorts. Circling the instruments they then snake and whizz around the whole stage, making animal-like noises and manic grunts. Such is the bizarre and rather tedious opening chorus sequence of Japanese director Tadashi Suzuki's version of the Greek myth of Electra and her brother Orestes slaying their mother Clytemnestra in revenge for her murder of their father Agamemnon. Loosely based on Euripides' Elektra, first performed around 414BC in response to Aeschylus' earlier Oresteia, and on Hugo von Hofmannsthal's 1903 version from Sophocles' Elektra, Suzuki's interpretation twists Euripides' vicious realism into a demented nightmare in a psychiatric institution, expressing his philosophy that "all the world's a hospital, and all men and women merely inmates".
A scene from Waiting for Orestes: Electra at the Festival Theatre, Edinburgh
Electra, played with fierce intensity by Korean actress Yoo-Jeong Byun, is a deranged creature shrieking for revenge, as the chorus in Beckett idiom taunts Orestes will never return to exact it, and her sister Chrysothemis declares him dead. Clytemnestra, interpreted with sustained force by Chieko Naito in Miyake fashion kimono, is demented from the first, ranting in exaggerated kabuki style against her daughter and tortured by dreams of Orestes' return. Suddenly wheeled in, Orestes (strongly played by Yoichi Takemori) re-focuses the drama: his mother must die, but torn between duty of revenge and sin of matricide, hesitates before the fateful act.
Minimalist staging and Midori Takada's atmospheric drumming heighten the appeal of Toga Company's relentlessly focused performance (in Japanese and Korean with English supertitles) of its highly inventive director's unique vision of the ancient myth.

For many companies, an effective business process modeling system can make all the difference in the world as far as current and future sales are concerned. It is somewhat surprising, therefore, to see that many companies often overlook or completely dismiss the importance of this type of tool.
One obvious reason that some companies do not use an effective business process modeling tool is that of costs. Many of these systems are simply too expensive for many smaller companies to implement. Another reason is that often these types of tools are somewhat difficult to operate or implement and can be very confusing to those who are using them.
Even so, the importance of having information about your clients and their companies is paramount to improving your overall sales and improving your relationships with each and every one of your clients.
So what can be done about this?
There are newer systems in place today that can help smaller companies (as well as larger ones) to gather the important information that they need in order to better serve their buying clients. The very best of these tools are written by individuals who have real-life experience in this field and are willing to share that expertise with you. When it comes to business process modeling tools, experience does count, and it should count a lot for those seeking viable and reliable systems.
One such system that was written by a master in this field is Jack Howe's "30 Minutes to Prepare for the C-Suite Meeting." This comprehensive eBook edition is filled with the kind of real-life techniques and methods that you are looking for. Rather than concentrating on theory and conjecture, Howe has complied a working system that when implemented can help boost your overall sales by allowing your sales team to anticipate your buyer's most important questions and objections. When your team is forearmed with the information that the buyer wants to hear, when they are prepared before they even enter the buyer's office, their sales results will improve dramatically. In many cases, by being so prepared in advance, the buyer will automatically propel your team member to trusted advisor status, and that means more sales in both the long run and the short run.
The key to this amazing material is in the research that your team will do before they even attempt to prepare a sales presentation. Why plan a presentation if you are not sure what they client wants and needs to hear about? Yet, that is exactly what many sales teams do day in and day out. Would it not be better to have your client's needs in mind when you sit down to draw up your presentation, making sure you cover those issues that he or she is most likely to ask about? Of course it is.

The World's Largest Battery
KLIF in Dallas is generally considered the birthplace of Top 40 radio, and Gordon McLendon is considered its daddy. On the air since November 1947, McLendon took a brave step in 1954 when he changed radio forever by instituting a 40-song playlist and took the station from a 2% share to a 45% share almost overnight.
The station was 5kW non-directional during the day, but had a 1kW directional authority at night. The signal had long been unsatisfactory to McLendon. It was obvious to him that both Dallas and Fort Worth deserved to hear his station, even at night, so by 1969 he was determined to get a power increase from 1kW to 5kW at night, no matter what. The idea was to sacrifice nighttime coverage in less populated areas in favor of improved coverage of the entire metroplex.
What he ended up with was a 12-tower array about 25 miles east of Dallas in Rockwall, TX, and a nighttime pattern that has been described as looking like a "Zeppelin with fish tails." Along with the 12 towers is a phaser that occupies five 42-inch wide cabinets. The man charged with installing this was Dave Hultsman, now domestic broadcast channel manager for Continental Electronics.
The 12 towers were arranged in two rows of six. The array was about a half mile long, and the rows of towers sat 200 feet apart.
With the towers up and the tower crew anxious to put in the ground system, Hultsman was under pressure to get the doghouse power, transmission lines and sampling lines buried. But not all of the sample line had arrived. The lines were 1,347 feet long and consisted of ⅜-inch unjacketed CATV cable, phase stabilized. They had been ordered to be all the same length to make the already difficult task of phasing a 12-tower array as easy as possible. This meant that a lot of extra line for the towers nearest the transmitter building would have to be coiled underground.
Knowing that if he dug all the trenches and laid the power and transmission lines, the trenches would probably fill before the rest of the sample lines arrived, Hultsman was hoping to wait as long as possible to get started. But finally he gave in to the pressure and buried all he had, including three of the sampling lines. There were no doghouses yet, so the lines stuck out of the ground near each tower.
By the time the next shipment of sampling lines arrived, the trenches had caved in, so they had to be dug out by hand. As each trench was cleared, three sampling lines were buried. This continued until all the lines were buried.
Glenn Callison, McLendon's VP of engineering and Hultsman's boss, was in town to check the progress of the site. He grabbed an ohmmeter and put it on one of the sampling lines. It read a dead short. Callison was on a tight travel schedule and wasn't able to troubleshoot the line, so he gave Hultsman the responsibility of figuring out what was wrong.
"I had a lot on my plate and had hoped that Callison would deal with the sampling line issue, but the problem was given to me anyway." When Hultsman checked his first line, he didn't read a short. Instead, his meter slammed into the left peg. Knowing he had not discovered negative resistance, he measured for voltage and found a 0.3V potential between the center conductor and the outer shield.
Hultsman recalls, "I checked all the lines and found problems with most of them. I still held out some hope that Callison would deal with this as I was having problems with the power company. I finally got tired of being chewed out about not having it solved, so I got some rags and a tube cutter and headed out to tower 4. The soil was still a little loose so it wasn't too hard to dig up the line by hand. They were buried about 48 inches deep.
"When I got to the line, I could tell it didn't look right. So I kept digging until I had about a two-foot section completely exposed."
Hultsman then began trying to clean the muddy lines using the rags until finally he saw what had happened. "It looked like the entire line had been eaten up with some kind of acid. It turns out that the dissimilar metals of aluminum and copper, separated by the foam had undergone a chemical reaction with the wet soil, which is very acidic in North Texas, and created what one of my coworkers dubbed 'the world's most expensive battery' — 12 cells and a grand total of about 3.6 volts if we could have hooked them all in series."
Hultsman is quick to point out that he didn't specify the unjacketed line that created the 164-acre battery. "There were four bidders and the one we went with was the only bidder that quoted unjacketed line. Callison and I both missed it.
"When I tell this story, I always write it off to being a young and inexperienced engineer," says Hultsman. He doesn't tell the story often.
The Dallas station on 1190 is now KTRA, carrying Fox Sports programming. It has changed hands several times since the Gordon McLendon days, and it is now owned by Clear Channel.
During construction, the site was once mistaken for the Rockwall Airport runway and a disaster was narrowly averted when Hultsman, Rick Neace and several other engineers waved off a landing at the last minute.
The 164 acres used for the site are part of McLendon Ranch. It is a hilly site; some of the towers sit at ground level, some are in pits and others are on little hillocks. As you drive by the site at night on I-30, you can hear the station clearly all the way to Fort Worth. But if you travel very far to the north or south, it seems to go away as if turned off by a switch.

Manned mission to an asteroid
A human mission to an asteroid is one of the long term goals of astronautics. The near-Earth asteroids are the target of such a mission, due to their proximity to the Earth.
A human mission to an asteroid would be a new step in the history of spaceflight, by sending astronauts beyond the moon's orbit, in a range of 4.8 million kilometers from Earth.
President Barack Obama announced 15 April 2010 that the project of a human mission to an asteroid became a new goal for 2025.[1] This statement was announced after his proposal of cancellation of the Constellation program in February 2010, whose main objective was the return of the man on the moon. Obama added that deep space mission could serve as a springboard for a manned mission to Mars in the mid-2030s.
NASA is developing the Orion spacecraft and launcher Space Launch System (SLS) that will achieve the task in Exploration Mission 2.[2]

Sure, "There's a catch", and why not eliminate the special EI treatment of farmers and all seasonal workers employed in providing us with food? We can always buy rice and insects from China in a pinch.
- Interesting

That's an interesting thought. Would fishermen be willing to be subjected to the same EI eligibility requirements as farmers in return to having the same market freedoms as farmers.

- February 03, 2014 - 07:38
Sure David, and in the spirit of "free market" and "democracy", you must support the elimination of special treatment to fishermen for EI.

Johann Pachelbel Composer
Canon and Gigue in D, for 3 violins and continuo ('Pachelbel's Canon'), T.337
Performances: 145
Tracks: 170
Johann Pachelbel was a well-known musician in his day. He composed a multitude of works for the organ (his native instrument), along with motets, sacred concertos, keyboard suites, and pieces in a variety of other genres. Of all these hundreds of compositions, however, far and away his best-known work is the Canon in D major, known colloquially as Pachelbel's Canon. This short piece has become a mainstay of chamber orchestras and other musicians and ensembles throughout the world. It has been arranged for almost any instrument or combination of instruments one might imagine, from synthesizer to brass quintet, and has been adapted for musical styles from jazz to new age.-
Canon and Gigue in D, for 3 violins and continuo ('Pachelbel's Canon'), T.337Key: D
Year: 1700
Genre: Other Chamber
Pr. Instruments: Violin & String Orchestra
- 1.Canon
- 2.Gigue
A canon is simply an imitative piece in which one instrument plays a melody, and part way into it another instrument joins in with the same tune, followed by one or more further instruments. In the case of Pachelbel's work, a two bar ostinato (or repeating melodic phrase) in the bass becomes the foundation for a set of 28 variations, in which three violins interact in canon with one another. Baroque convention would have this work performed in a moderate-to-fast tempo; however, the work is most often heard played slowly. Played thus, the Canon becomes a quite beautiful and meditative work. Only occasionally is the Canon played in tandem with the lively Gigue that Pachelbel intended to follow it.

Canon and Gigue in D, T.337 (arr. keyboard) - 1.Canon
Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) was a fairly popular composer of the German High Baroque who wrote many works in virtually every genre from organ music to cantatas. But he was just one more one time fairly popular composer lost in the mists of musical time until Rudolf Baumgartner and the Lucerne Festival Strings decided to record a work they called Pachelbel's Canon for France's Erato in the mid-'60s. The recording was not considered worthy of release domestically in the United States except by the Musical Heritage Society. Amazingly enough, the recording became a MHS best seller and, even more amazingly, was heard by Robert Redford, who decided to use it in his film Ordinary People (1980). From there, for a brief time, Pachelbel's Canon became the most popular piece of classical music in the history of humanity. Originally written in 1700 as a short, fast piece for three violins and basso continuo, the Baumgartner recording set the pace for outlandish arrangements of the work by slowing it down to about a third its original tempo and expanding the string section by a factor of ten. Since then, Pachelbel's Canon has been arranged for brass quintet by the Canadian Brass, for flute by James Galway and for flute and voice by Galway and Cleo Laine, for string quartet by George Rochberg as part of his String Quartet No. 6, for string quartet as a gloss on "Earth Angel" by the Hampton String Quartet, for synthesizer by Tomita as something called Canon of the Three Stars, plus hundreds of other arrangements for every conceivable instrument or instruments. Occasionally, the original even gets recorded.© James Leonard, All Music Guide

The green version of Mission:Space does not have the centrifuge turned on. Therefore, you do not experience any g-force. Instead, it's basically the same as Star Tours - a simulator that moves in conjunction with the screen in front of you.
The orange version has a centrifuge turned on, and so you have significant g-force pressing you back against your seat, and occasionally gives you feelings of weightlessness. Because your body has no frame of reference to the outside world, you do not get "dizzy" for the spinning. Your brain is fooled into just thinking you're going relatively straight "up" or "down".

RL30755 - Forest Fire Protection (pdf)
5-Dec-2000; Ross Gorte; 32 p.
Abstract: The 2000 fire season was, by most standards, one of the worst in the past half century. National attention began to focus on wildfires when a prescribed burn in May escaped control and burned 235 homes in Los Alamos, NM. In September, the Clinton Administration proposed an additional $1.6 billion for wildfire management, and Congress enacted much of this proposal in the FY2001 Interior Appropriations Act (P.L. 106-291). However, Congress still faces questions about forestry practices, continued funding, and the federal role in wildland fire protection. Many factors contribute to the threat of wildfire damages; two major factors are the decline in forest and rangeland health and the expansion of residential areas into wildlands the urban-wildland interface. Over the past century, aggressive wildfire suppression, as well as past grazing and logging practices, have altered many ecosystems, especially those where light, surface fires were frequent. Many areas now have unnaturally high fuel loads (e.g., dead trees and dense thickets) and an historically unnatural mix of plant species (e.g., exotic invaders). Fuel treatments have been proposed to reduce the wildfire threats. Prescribed burning setting fires under identified conditions can reduce the fine fuels that spread wildfires, but can escape and become catastrophic wildfires, especially if fuel ladders and wind spread the fire into the forest canopy. Commercial timber harvesting is often proposed, and can reduce heavy fuels and fuel ladders, but can increase the threat unless the slash (tree tops and limbs) is properly disposed of. Other mechanical treatments (e.g., precommercial thinning, pruning) can reduce fuel ladders, but also temporarily increase fuels on the ground. Treatments can often be more effective if combined (e.g., prescribed burning after thinning). However, some fuel treatments are very expensive, and the benefit of treatments for reducing wildfire threats depend on many factors. It should also be recognized that, as long as there is biomass, drought, and high winds, catastrophic wildfires will occur. Only about 1% of wildfires become conflagrations, but which fires will blow up into catastrophic wildfires is unpredictable. It seems likely that management practices and policies, including fuel treatments, affect the likelihood of such events. However, past experience with wildfires are of limited value for building predictive models, and research on fire behavior under various circumstances is difficult, at best. Thus, predictive tools for fire protection and control are often based on expert opinion and anecdotes, rather than on research evidence. Individuals who choose to build homes in the urban-wildland interface face some risk of loss from wildfires, but can take steps to protect their homes. Federal, state, and local governments can and do assist by protecting their own lands, by providing financial and technical assistance, and by providing relief after the fire. [read report]

'American Idol' finalist will headline First Friday
Monday, July 29, 2013
Katelyn Marks, a former "American Idol" contestant and a rising country music artist, will be the headline performer at this week's First Friday on the Lawn.
Other entertainment and family activities are planned for the monthly event, which will be held Aug. 2, 6-9 p.m., 249 Nash St. W. The public is invited.

Her original music is all her own, but favors country greats such as Faith Hill, Leann Rimes, Carrie Underwood and Shania Twain. After performing at the 2007 GMA Music in the Rockies she attracted the attention of Academy of Country Music award-winner producer Lonnie Wilson. Katelyn now fronts a high-energy band that performs at fairs, festivals, nightclubs, music series, corporate events, and colleges and universities.
By her side is Derek Drye who is a versatile musician playing lead guitar, dobro, mandolin, harmonica, as well as sharing lead and back-up vocals. Her five-piece band performs her original tunes and covers hits from artists ranging from Johnny Cash to Miranda Lambert. Their performances cultivate audience participation and connect personally with those attending the concert.
The City of Wilson's annual First Fridays on the Lawn free community concert series are held on the first Friday from July-October with a different style of music each night. The concert events bring live music from 6-9 p.m., a free kids zone, family activities, intermission performance acts, local food vendors and community booths.

First Fridays on the Lawn is a family-friendly event. Admission is free. All concerts are alcohol free. Pets are preferred to be left at home, but if brought must obey the leash law. Families are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, a blanket and even a picnic from home.
In case of rain, the concerts will be moved downtown to the Boykin Center. The schedule will remain the same with the doors opening at 5 p.m. and the music starting at 6 p.m.

Drone technology in Berkeley may see further study
Tuesday evening, the Berkeley City Council delved into the sticky issue of drone regulation, and plans to take an even deeper look at the related ramifications at some point in the future.
The council held a special work session — with no action planned, and none taken — to hear from three city panels that considered drone technology after local officials asked them to offer feedback on it in late 2012.
Two of those bodies came out in support of making Berkeley a "no drone zone," while the third said drones should be available for the city to use in case of emergency with appropriate oversight. … Continue reading »

Drone battle to come before Berkeley City Council
More than a year after the Berkeley City Council asked three city panels to take a look at the use of drones around town, two starkly different recommendations are slated to come before officials in a special work session later this month.
The city's Disaster and Fire Safety Commission has made a recommendation to allow the police and fire departments to use drones "for specific enumerated purposes in emergency situations." Usage would have to approved by the city manager, police chief or fire chief.
But two other city bodies, the Peace & Justice Commission and the Police Review Commission, have asked council to declare Berkeley a "no drone zone," citing concerns related to safety and privacy, among other issues. … Continue reading »

Berkeley rejects idea of making city a No Drone Zone
At its meeting last night, the Berkeley City Council rejected a recommendation from the Peace and Justice Commission to establish a No Drone Zone in the city. Instead, the council referred the issue to three commissions — the Peace and Justice Commission, the Police Review Commission, and Disaster and Fire Safety Commssion — with guidelines for public safety agencies' use of drones to be reviewed at a future council workshop.
During public comment more than a dozen people spoke in favor of the Peace and Justice Commission proposal, which would have banned all drones except for hobbyist use (and those would have been restricted to drones without cameras). … Continue reading »
Berkeley considers becoming a No Drone Zone
Berkeley City Council will tonight consider a proposal from the Peace and Justice Commission to ban the use of drones — unmanned aerial vehicles — in the city's airspace. The recommended ordinance would also prohibit the city, or any agency of the city, from purchasing, borrowing, testing or using drones. Hobbyist use is exempted "as long as those devices are not equipped with any kind of camera or audio surveillance equipment."
Alameda County Supervisors last week tabled a proposal from the county sheriff to use a $31,646 grant to buy a surveillance drone, following protests from the ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation about the lack of privacy protections. … Continue reading »

Of course you want to build your own aerial drone
Build your own biology lab, make foam swords, devise your ingenious escape the MacGyver way, learn about honey harvesting… these are just a handful of the experiences from Berkeley makers you could have at this Sunday's East Bay Mini Maker Faire, to be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the campus of Park Day School in the Temescal district of Oakland.
Among the 125 makers, performers, crafters, presenters and vendors at the Faire, are a couple of dozen Berkeleyans: among them, Chris Anderson is showing unmanned aerial vehicles you can make in your own garage, Pioneers in Engineering are banging the drum for their new robotics competition (Berkeleyside covered the last one in April), the Fixit Clinic is leading "guided disassembly of your broken stuff", and Adrian Freed will show you how to build interactive, touch-sensitive surfaces using conductive paper and origami. … Continue reading »

Starring the aforementioned Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as his sidekick Watson, this modern re-imagining of the classic Arthur Conan Doyle characters isn't exactly high art, but memorable performances from the leading roles and better than expected plot save it from suffering the same fate as director Guy Ritchie's dreadful previous effort RocknRolla.

Another Successful Car Show and Car Wash
osted by Nassau Barry Tech
June 6, 2011
Michael Magro Foundation held its 6th. Annual Car Wash and Classic Car Show on Saturday June 4th. at Barry Tech Career and Technical Education Center on Prospect Avenue in Westbury. Mr. James Clark, the building principal and the staff graciously host this community service event each year to help the foundation raise money to support their mission.
The efforts of the foundation are directed to families of children diagnosed with cancer and other chronic illnesses. Michael Magro Foundation is a 501 c 3 nonprofit organization, pledging 100% of the monies raised back into the foundation.
Each year Barry Tech students help organize, advertise, set up, wash the cars and cook the food for this event. All of their hard work paid off, the foundation raised
$1300.00 this year
. The money will be used to make parent referral binders for the newly diagnosed children with cancer being treated at The Cancer Center for Kids at Winthrop University Hospital.
Each family is given a binder which contain volumes of information to help them navigate their days, weeks, months and sometimes years ahead as their child is undergoing treatment. The binder contains some gift cards to help with the cost of gas, supermarket cards and much more.
In addition the binder provides log sheets for procedures, tests, medications, pharmacy and checkups. The handbook walks through diagnosis definitions, course of treatment, what to expect if admitted to the hospital, caring for your child at home and caring for the whole family.
