Build Shop: Shaman 0/45/16 {WoW}
Mar 18th 2008 1:06PM I have a question of enhance shaman, I play 4 healers (2x pally and 2x priest) and I dread healing any PUG with an enhance shaman as I have never met one that did not pull aggro and end up tanking at least 1 mob. What are these shaman doing wrong? What can I say to them to correct this behaviour or do I need to just stop healing groups with enhance shaman?
I also have a pally tank and sometimes have a problem with enhance shaman pulling aggro but then I can typically just Righteous Defense and get the mobs back, I do not see PUG tanks doing anything about it.

Feb 26th 2008 9:02AM Great write-up, was good to see the part about spell damage weapons here... always see new Pally tanks trying to use Warrior tanking weapons.
I have a few suggestions, first off I wouldn't recommend Jade-Skull breastplate as it has the extra wasted strength. I would recommend Vindicator's Hauberk or I even used Righteous chest before that. Also with stamina being typically lower with a prot Pally I would recommend using all +12 stam gems... you miss some set bonuses but it's worth it. Another trinket worth mentioning is Brooch of the Immortal King, I swapped that for Adamantite Figurine as it has a better use effect IMO. For Librams it really is worth using your first 15 badges for Libram of Repentance.
Looking forward to the next article about Pally tanking.

Breakfast Topic: How is your PvP Battlegroup doing? {WoW}
Jan 10th 2008 8:51AM I play on Alliance on Madoran which is a PvE server in the Ruin battlegroup. If the daily PvP quest is anything but AV i don't even bother anymore. It seems like we win every AV, lose every EotS, AB and WSG.
Breakfast Topics: How many guilds are you split between? {WoW}
Jan 7th 2008 8:51AM I juggle 3 guilds and it's really annoying. One is alliance pve where I play a 70 protadin and 70 holy disc priest, then horde pve where i have a 70 CoH priest and 70 affliction lock and finally a alliance PvP where I play a holy paladin.
I never wanted to raid more than 1 toon but guilds break up and no guilds need the class you play so you reroll on that server or play on a new one... eventually guilds get stuck in progress and you end up trying to bring back other toons as they may be needed now and it just ends up a big mess.

After admiring a recent finished bathroom photo on here by Sweeby (beautiful!) I came across a new product in my vocabulary "Hudson Reed" and after looking at their website I fell in love with their classic faucets. The price is very good but my husband is extremely picky about good faucets and leaking. So in everyone's opinion are these faucets worth the money? I am comparing them to standard Kohler, Moen and American Standard that don't leak. I LUV the look very much and must convince my husband that they won't leak. So please tell me your experience with them. |
Follow-Up Postings:
That beautiful Hudson Reed faucet was one I picked up on eBay for $68 -- seriously! Actually, I got two of them for $68 because the first one that arrived had a small 'nick' in one of the handles, so I wrote to HR asking for a replacement handle. They sent me a replacement faucet with most gracious apologies for my trouble, insisting that I keep both as it wasn't fair to ask me to ship it back. (And the nick was small enough that I decided to use the second faucet anyway rather than buy another one...) Though I hear they are probably made in China, they appear to be very well made -- heavy, nice surfaces, smooth turning action, no plastic parts. The 'made in China theory' certainly makes sense given the price, though I saw no evidence of that in the workmanship, and Hubby - who is also very picky - was favorably impressed. He did the plumbing, and agrees with those who say "You have to read the instructions, and the instructions are lousy" - but otherwise really likes the faucets. Would I buy them again? For a lavatory faucet, absolutely! The risk simply isn't that great. You can put a drip pan in the vanity if you're nervous, and a lavatory faucet is easy to replace down the road if need be. We also used one of their exposed valve shower fixtures and are very happy with it. Since we bought ours (which is also very nice and heavy - works great), the price has been cut nearly in half, so I can't see how it could be exactly the same item. For that reason alone, I'd have trouble recommending it. While I had some reservations before buying mine, for the price difference between the HR and the Rohl, I figured the chance was worth taking. PLUS, if it didn't work well, since the valve was surface mounted rather than inside a wall, again - the risk was lower. |

Thank you for your quick response. Do you or does your husband know if they are made of the solid brass construction like Kohler? The website does not state much and I asked 2 questions on their website last evening with no response as of yet. I need to also know if the rough in valve comes with the wall mounted tub filler, again the website does not state unless I am missing something. We have a regular but extra large tub going in and then a walk in shower which I already purchased the Kohler faucets for. I just LUV the look of the HD Topaz faucets and want to get 2 to match the tub filler. I'm just scared cuz if they turn out to be like a generic brand like PP or something my hubby is not going to be happy. He just spent 2 hours fixing an old faucet last evening that was a generic brand. I'm glad to hear that your husband did the plumbing and mine will also. These are the prettiest ones for the money I must admit. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hudson Reed Wall Mounted Tub Filler
"Do you or does your husband know if they are made of the solid brass construction like Kohler?" Sorry - I simply don't know... Can't say about the valve on the tub filler either... I'd assume not sisnce it isn't shown. But you never know for sure... |
I was glad to see this post because the Hudson Reed faucet in Sweeby's beautiful bathroom also caught my eye. Sweeby, I'm especially interested in your exposed shower system.I have been researching these and trying to find one that fits my budget. The Hudson Reed systems are at a price that also makes me concerned they are too good to be true. They state they are made of brass. I know that you expressed concern the quality has changed since you purchased yours, but can you tell me how you like the handshower of the one you currently have? Would the handshower be sufficient to use on it's own w/out the rainshower head? Mrs. Limestone has a Sign of the Crab shower system that she likes, except she said that the handshower does not have enough pressure. She said she is not sure whether that's due to the handshower itself or her plumbing. Is your system thermostatic? I have been swooning over your recent batrhoom pictures, and then I saw your recent post w/the exposed shower system. Absolutely beautiful! |
Hi DW, We have a HR shower set (not installed yet-plumbing inspector just left- so maybe soon? :>). DH says it is solid brass, and thinks that even the knobs etc, are chrome plated solid brass. Everything looks really well-made and it is very heavy. I cannot find a 'made in ______' anywhere. ON none of the literature/boxes, etc. But one box did have a label that said NAmerican Shower Head. So can't tell you anything yet about how it works- just excited that maybe soon... |
Hi Sherri - The 'too good to be true' bit is exactly what my concern would be. Maybe read recent online reviews to see if their customer service feedback is still fabulous? The handshower is amazing! Not just good, but amazing! The best I've ever experienced. I use the rain shower head for most of my shower, but switch to the handheld for rinsing shampoo out of my hair. It's a strong, powerful spray and the fixture itself also feels solid and heavy. Now we do have a good dedicated water supply, and I generally shower at odd hours, so that may be a factor. But the handheld itself is really nice. (I hate those little flimsy ones!) |

Well I went ahead and purchased the tub filler and 2 matching faucets today, was nice to have the free shipping and I found a 5% off coupon online. So we'll wait and see - I hope it was worth the money - oh and the valve did come with the tub filler as their email to me stated today. |
- Posted by acountryfarm (My Page) on Fri, Mar 6, 09 at 22:12
I would have ordered from them had I found them sooner. I had already placed my faucet order (when I found them) and spent a small fortune. I love Hudson Reed and would have saved a bundle. I have heard only good things about them. |
- Posted by dreamywhite (My Page) on Fri, Mar 13, 09 at 21:32
Finally received the faucets - husband HATED them and said he will not install them no matter what. Something about compression fittings and total problems down the road. Said they were the construction of faucets when our grandparents were small. So at least they are letting me return them to NY at my shipping cost for a full refund. So dissapointed they are really nice looking in real life. But I think I'm going with Kohler bancroft now - I better stick to name brands :) |
I took a chance and ordered an exposed Hudson Reed thermostatic shower valve, similar to Sweeby's. It is the 3/4" version which has a slightly different look that is very similar to the Restoration Hardware version. I have not installed it yet or taken it apart to see how it works, but I'm very impressed with the appearances. The valve is very heavy, solid brass and the chrome plating on all the parts is perfect. The other elbow fittings and couplings and shower rose are all also quite solidly made of brass/metal with a nice chrome finish. I'm impressed by the little details, like the lever handle on the valve and the hand grip on the shower handset are porcelain instead of plastic. The only exposed piece of plastic is a non-essential wall mounted hose organizer for the hand shower that I don't plan on using. The HR valve has an adjustable mount for the hand shower that installs on the exposed pipes, whereas the Restoration Hardware valve has a wall mount bracket. The Restoration Hardware installation instructions are an excellent reference even for the Hudson Reed - I'm guessing this style of shower valve was invented ages ago and the basics haven't changed much. The Hudson Reed instructions are confusing on so many levels, and the RH instructions make it all instantly clear. Other differences: the HR faucet has backflow/check valves and filters on the hot/cold supply going into the valve. There is no check valve/anti-siphon on the shower rose or hand shower. The Restoration Hardware has filters on the supply lines, and then check valves on the shower/hand shower. Price was excellent, about 1/10th of Restoration Hardware. |
So glad to hear that Jpmvan! Mine's still working perfectly -- so no complaints about Hudson Reed from me. On the installation of the shower fittings, the one key piece of information to remember is that the HR fittings use English/Metric sizes, which aren't the same as North American. Essentially, the 'inside the wall parts' will be North American sizes, but the fixture itself will be metric. When they sell to North American customers, HR sends 'transition pieces' where the US parts meet the metric -- so if you can keep in your head which sizing system each part is in - then it's easier. |

I'm glad to hear others have had luck with their H-R products...mine were a disaster!! My kitchen faucet leaked and I had to replace it. I don't remember what the problem was with the lav faucet in my master, but I had to return that one as well (I think it was missing a piece). Unfortunately, I didn't follow my gut and installed the tub filler/spray combo. I shudder to think how it's working on the inside, but after initially working decently, nowadays, everytime I turn on the tub filler, water leaks out of the spray arm. Cheap pieces of junk (albethey nice looking cheap pieces of junk!) IMHO. |

Bumping this back up in case someone else had something to say. Looks like it's a mixed bag of results. I was wondering, since the valves need adapters to work, won't this be cause for concern over time (like potential leaks)? I read the reviews on epinions and they are mostly horrific. I love their thermostatic offering though - absolutely gorgeous for about $300. |
I have one lav faucet from them for about an year. Plan to buy more for the current remodel. No complaints. Actually, I had a moen from HD before that faucet and it leaked in 3 months. This one replaced it and so far, so good. |
I never got around to following up after my install, so here it is: The exposed 3/4" shower valve installed without a hitch with compression fittings that match US 3/4" copper pipe. Works well too, and looks amazing installed. The installation instructions were more confusing than useful, although the diagrams did help. If you've done any plumbing at all, you'll be ok just using some common sense and the diagram, it also helps to fit it all together before installing. My kit came with a bunch of adapters and fittings I didn't need, which added to the puzzle. Since it's an exposed valve and the spacing seems to be standard for these, I'm not too worried about repair/replacement. I haven't tried it, but it looks like it can be taken apart easily if needed. |

BAD, JUNK, WASTED MONEY. My vessel sink faucet tried two different ones and both started leaking a lot in less than one year, replaced with American Standard. Whirlpool tub filler valves leaked in between walls down to first floor dining room and guest bath... staining ceiling of our new house... had to open wall to find source of leak. I was in the shower when I got scalded due to the failure of their lifetime guaranteed thermostatic valve... installed less than 2 years. They have promised a complete refund of the over $1000 I spent, but I have been waiting for over a year. I had body jets with holes drilled in tile. Try to find another system to match up... going to a panel to cover up as much as possible. They look nice, they feel substantial, purchase price is inexpensive-- but underneath the chrome, they are junk and cheap -- period, it does not matter where they are manufactured. They had to pay fines to US EPA for flow control violations... stay away, it is only a matter of time. I've got documentation to prove every word. |

I posted something longer on epinions. I love the shower I have had for over a year. Solid brass, great design, great flow. There was a problem with how it was assembled in the factory, but they were very gracious to send me the replacement cartridges for free a year after I bought it. Works great now. I would recommend them. |
Just a quick update -- All three of my Hudson Reed faucets are still working flawlessly. |
I also am updating. It's been almost 4 years, and after very heavy use, shower works great! Pressure from hand-held is awesome. All pieces looked substantial and well-made and DH had no problems installing everything himself. I definitely recommend HR to anyone, and will use them again in my next two BR renos. |

I have the exposed thermostatic shower as well. I was wary about buying something from overseas at first, but I've since bought more bathroom faucets and bathroom hardware from Hudson Reed. Everything that I've come across is solid brass construction with chrome plating, and they ship with stainless steel mounting screws, so there isn't anything that will rust. They use ceramic disc valves, which last much longer than gate valves. You're not going to find a lot of Hudson Reed products around here, but they are the equivalent of Kohler or American Standard in the UK. They have a 20 year warranty over there, and I think it's 10 years for US residents. Near as I can figure, that has more to do with our higher water pressures being harder on components. Nevertheless, that's a longer warranty than I'll get with Kohler (which is what I've used for pretty much everything else in my house). I like to tinker, so some of the minor issues that came with mine were easily fixed, although most others would have returned them. My mixer on the shower had a slow drip. I followed the UK instructions (unlike the US website, theirs shows a full exploded diagram) and took the cover plate off, tightened the main assembly with a channel lock, and the leak was fixed. What can I say - it's British. I like it. Those compression fittings freaked me out a little, since I've only ever used solder or threaded joints, and I had nightmares of them bursting loose. They have been perfect. I am confident that my hardware will outlast me. Compression fittings are foreign to most home owners in the US, but it's pretty commonplace elsewhere. It's natural to avoid them if you're not comfortable with them, but it doesn't make them junk. Just different. Kind of like diesel cars. If you're a DIYer, this might not be the right decision for you. If you're going to have them installed, check with your plumber. If you get a funny look, move on. They'll find every excuse to not install it or install it improperly. So to reiterate, I respectfully disagree with the assessments that Hudson Reed products are junk. I believe that they're well built, although they might not always be properly assembled (I appreciate the irony of the statement, but what I'm saying is that once everything is assembled correctly, they are awesome). Just my two cents. |

have the exposed shower head as pictured above. has been a disaster from the start. replaced twice. falling apart-it's been gerry-rigged so that it will work, but have finally decided to replace it. I really wanted to like it but lack of function trumps looks |
My first post is the need to comment on the lack of customer service with this company. We have had the rainshower fixture with handheld for a few years now. One year in we had to replace the hose for the handheld as it began unraveling (around 30$) now it is unraveling again. I have emailed the company with photos and this is the reply I received. Hello My hose has more than a sufficient amount of slack. It is actually a rubber hose that is enveloped in a metal ribbon. The ribbon has become brittle and dislodged from the handset. |
Just checking in again years later with another update -- All three of my Hudson Reed faucets are still working flawlessly and still look great. |
BAD I bought an expensive valve from Hudson Reed because I thought it was a higher quality product... WRONG. After 4 months of work and 25,000.00 building a spa bathroom with 2 shower heads I finally got to test out the showers. One is significantly cooler than the other. I called tech support to find out what I have to do to get them to be the same temp and the guy said to me, "oh no you can't run them at the same time" WHAT???? "If you do then one will be much cooler than the other" I AM FURIOUS, Why would I ever buy a dual shower valve and only run one device. Obv they know this valve will not supply consistent temps to both devices but on the product desc it says "if you run the both you may experience a loss in pressure" it does not say... you will have one hot shower head and one luke warm shower head. If it did, obv I would NOT have bought it. When I asked to speak to someone of authority I was told that nobody was available to speak to me. So hear I am with a beautiful bathroom with a huge walk in tiled shower and this piece of crap valve in my walls that does not work. I COULD NOT BE ANYMORE DISSATISFIED WITH THE PRODUCT OR THE COMPANY. |

In response to oldguy's message: RE: So.Cville murderYes, there was a murder and it was Poke Jaynes that murdered his wife. They lived in a little house near where the sewage plant is today. It was on the left going down the road to the dam, just before the dump for the Capstan Plant. Seems to me it was in the later 40's, maybe 48?? The house was then empty for several years and subsequently torn down.

Donna, I've snagged your two photos to put in our Fall inspiration album. I need to get our albums up to date, again. Have photos from here saved and will get them SOON. I wish I could get out my Fall decor, just to pretend we aren't in this relentless heatwave. But too early yet, I get it out on the official first day of Fall, tho it will still be a 100 here. LOL. hugs, Karen |

Donnas, I always enjoy seeing all the creative things you make. Love your wreath, the bow, cat tails and leaves all go together so well. Neat house sign too, is it painted or done with vinyl cutouts? Hope you will come by and share more of your projects with us. Karen, it's been "hot" here, but nothing like the temps in Phoenix. You're overdue for a break in those high temps for sure! If your water bill is high, I hate to even imagine what the electricity costs must be! Gotta keep that air conditioner running for sure! Hang in there, fall is on the way! Luvs |

Love that wreath and the house sign is pretty cool too. Wish I could get my creative juices flowing again. TFs Janet |
Sorry maximavswife...I only craft for myself. I don't feel like I'm that good at crafting to sell what I make to others. The numbers at the top are pre-cut wood numbers that I painted and glued on. I just hope they stay on. If you looked at my other crafts, you will see that I also made a patriotic plaque with 5 stars down the middle. I didn't have too much luck keeping those stars on either. When we would get a big rain, they would fall off, so I ended up drilling holes and screwing them on. It's still a little hot here, but only in the low to mid 80's. I just love the fall colors and wanted to put them out LOL. Luvs, for the stripes and the top part that I painted a tan, I used the acryllic paint in the small bottles. For the leaves, I made a template using foamies and used Delta Creme stencil paint. The vines I drew with a gold marker, and took a small brush and painted the stem at the bottom of each leaf. After everything was dry, I sprayed a high gloss protective clear coating over the entire plaque a few times. |

I don't have a big penis, and you know what -- I don't want one. I don't need one. I'm good with my discreet penis. It's been mine all my life. I know exactly how to use it. I know its strengths; I know its weaknesses. It's compact, but it handles the road, you know. And it gets great gas mileage, and it has a sun roof and power locks. Anyway, just imagine a warrior, the deadliest warrior in the world, but he's only deadly with a dagger. Doesn't matter the size of your weapon if you're deadly. What I'm trying to say is, ladies, just let me come at you with my dagger. I promise I will slay thee.

How To Wear Ballet Leg Warmers

With mbt shoes this unique structure, leg warmers are considered to be great addition to fashion. But originally, classic dancers like ballet dancers wore leg warmers. For them, leg warmers are not fashion accessories. For dancers, these are important parts of their attire, which keep their lower calf warm. They believe that by doing this, they can prevent mbt online injuries related to dancing.
Start reaping the benefits from wearing leg warmers by adding them to your ballet dancing outfit. Follow the guidelines below when wearing ballet leg warmers:
Wear it before you leave home. The ballet teacher might not allow you to wear the leg warmers while taking the class. So, the best mbt shoes for women time to warm up those legs is by wearing the warmers before you go to the ballet class. The time you'll spend for the transportation will be enough to give your legs enough warmth.

Remove it in class. Take off the leg warmers after the warming up and before the start of ballet class. The leg warmers might only limit your movement while dancing on the floor. If you're comfortable, you can also fold the warmers up so they will be out mbt footwear of your teacher's sight during the ballet class.
Wear the leg warmers again. Cover your legs with the leg warmers again after the ballet class and before the cooling down exercise or stretching. Doing so will provide warmth for the leg muscles again.

Brandon Robert Bickford Sentenced in U.S. District Court
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Billings, on November 7, 2012, before Chief U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, BRANDON ROBERT BICKFORD, a 26-year-old resident of Cut Bank, appeared for sentencing. BICKFORD was sentenced to a term of:
Prison: 24 months
Special Assessment: $100
Supervised Release: 4 years
BICKFORD was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica T. Fehr, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On July 20, 2010, a Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office deputy initiated a traffic stop on a black 2010 Mercedes Benz SUV after running the license plate and determining that the owner had a valid arrest warrant. The owner of the vehicle provided a false name to the deputy but ultimately admitted the individual's name. A narcotics-detecting K-9 was called to the scene, and positively alerted on the vehicle for the presence of narcotic odors. The vehicle was impounded pending a search warrant application. A subsequent search yielded airline tickets, a cell phone, documents, $14,154 in cash, and user amounts of marijuana.
Pursuant to a search warrant, detectives had the cellular telephone seized from the vehicle analyzed. The contents revealed that the owner of the vehicle had been involved with selling multiple pounds of marijuana, as well as transporting tens of thousands of dollars in cash. Some of the text messages on the phone blatantly discussed prices for pounds of marijuana, smuggling bulk cash via the airlines, having bulk cash from drug proceeds deposited into bank accounts, and dealing marijuana to the Indian reservations in Montana. According to the text messages on the phone marijuana was distributed to Browning, Polson, Crow Agency, as well as Havre, St. Ignatius, Great Falls, Missoula, Cut Bank, Lolo, and other places throughout Montana.
One of the subjects having drug-related communications with the owner of the vehicle stopped in Yellowstone County was BICKFORD. When interviewed by law enforcement, BICKFORD admitted that during the course of the conspiracy he personally received and distributed between 50 and 90 pounds of marijuana.
The evidence would have proven that more than 100 kilograms of marijuana was possessed with the intent to distribute by BICKFORD and his co-conspirators during the course of the conspiracy and that it was reasonably foreseeable to BICKFORD that the conspiracy involved more than 100 kilograms of marijuana.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that BICKFORD will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, BICKFORD does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Billings Big Sky Safe Streets Task Force and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Here's the link to the article: http://classactionlawsuitsinthenews.com/class-action-settlements/natura-pet-products-class-action-settlement-of-innova-evo-california-natural-healthwise-mother-nature-karma-dog-or-cat-food-product-class-action-lawsuit/
The class action suit is against some of the top and highly rated human-grade, not-from-china, dog food manufacturers: Innova, EVO, California Natural, HealthWise, Mother Nature & Karma, all made by Natura. You may want to scroll down that article's page and read the comments posted. There were a number of problems in 2008 with Innova and cyanuric acid and melamine plastic containant from China, finding broken piece of glass in the bag, and hair. See eye-opening source with photos: http://www.itchmo.com/innova-testing-results-posted-by-ceo-of-naturapet-1845 My personal experience with EVO pet food was that In April or May of this year, I found white and black hard spots of something in this dry dog food so I returned the food, along with the article I printed out from the above reference source, and decided to never buy anything from this company or their subsidiaries or sister-companies EVER again. These kinds of business practices are unconscionable, and visited on the most innocent of all, our beloved pets who love us unconditionally and trust us to care for them!!! Sooz
Follow-Up Postings:
While the class action is a good idea, most plaintiffs wont get much money and it may not change much. Hopefully it will force pet food companies to inspect their prodcuts on a regular basis. The problem with most "I found something in the bag" suits is that it is hard to prove where the debris in the bag actually came from and the companies will fight the suits on that one item. Probably stating debris could come from shipping or the pet store etc... |

The team at Jerry Kelly Heating and Air Conditioning embodies the adage that if something isn't broken, don't fix it. For 35 years, the company has occupied the same brick building in Frenchtown. Of the original seven-person staff, most can still be found at the company today. Now, though the team has grown to more than 50 members, each service technician is still NATE- and NCI-certified and rigorously trained in proper procedures and safety. Aside from repairing and maintaining all kinds of HVAC equipment, technicians stay on call 24 hours a day for clients' emergency services or suggestions for midnight snacks.
The uniformed, bonded, and insured technicians from National Air Duct Cleaning visit homes and businesses to complete such services as cleaning air ducts, dryer vents, and air exchangers. They improve the health of allergy sufferers by ridding the HVAC system of dust, contaminants, and other debris that can talk back when you least expect it. They also perform regular cleaning of the furnace or AC to help the systems run more efficiently and prevent them from breaking down due to clogging.
Mosquito Squad uses a specially formulated fog that kills adult mosquitoes on contact, as well as mosquitoes that land on greenery afterward. Spraying sessions last roughly 15 minutes, and people and pets can return to the treated areas just 30 minutes after the fogging—which effectively reduces the mosquito population in that area by between 90% and 95%. Mosquitoes are thereby banned from the premises for 21 days, after which you will need to bring on the fog again should you wish to remain unbitten. Alternatively, you can choose an all-natural solution that repels insects by offending their delicate scent palates. Humans detect a mild odor from this treatment that fades after two hours. The synthetic-free repellent is all-natural and lasts 14 days.

The kitchen is the life blood of our home. When it's time to give it a facelift to going green is a lot easier than you think. I'm Kahi Lee and I'm back on the road to show you how to make a dramatic difference in your kitchen while helping our environment. This is Green Done Right. Meet Carla and her son Sam. They moved in to this 1963 Levitt brothers' home little over 2 years ago. Upon walking through the door, Sam and Carla quickly realized that this house is the one. I'm Carla Zimmerman, I live in New Jersey and I'm a librarian and archivist.
My name is Sam. I'm a sophomore in high school. I play the flute and the guitar.
They hope by improving the kitchen's efficiency, it will drastically lower the power bill and add new life to the central part of the house.
Hi. How you doing?
Good to see you.
Good to see you too.
Good to see you.
Come on in.
Come on in.
Thanks. Oh, nice. It's very warm and inviting.
Thank you.
I like the colors.
Thank you very much.
Are those your choice? You guys pick this up?
What could improve a [unknown] down here?
The counter tops are old. They're scratchy. Certainly not in to date with the rest of my kitchen.
So what I'd love to have is I filter attached to the faucet so that I can always have filtered water at my fingertips.
So being eco-friendly is an important--
Very important to us.
thing for you guys, right?
So we can update the kitchen.
While remaining eco-friendly.
Eco-friendly way.
That would be ideal, right?
Yes it would.
Okay, well I definitely think we can do that.
I'm so excited. But are you ready to work? 'Cause you're gonna have to work with it a little before.
Oh, I grew up on a farm. Don't worry. I could work.
We're ready to work.
Are you ready? All right. Let's do it.
All right. All right guys, so here's the plan. We're definitely going to update your kitchen while remaining eco-friendly.
All right.
Good, good. First things first, counter top has to go.
Yes, yes.
And I'm thinking about something eco-friendly, maybe a recycled material.
Something colorful because this sort is the lost amongst all the colors you have, so we're gonna tie the colors together. I also think that the sink could use an update.
Maybe a little slow faucet for water conservation, maybe a water filtration system so then--
Pretty cool.
Free up some counter space and get rid of these.
You like that?
I like this.
Now you have in light, which you say doesn't give off that much light.
Not much light-- no.
I think we can replace it with something that is a energy saver.
So, it's gonna be a lot of work.
You guys up for it?
We're ready.
We're gonna update. We're gonna be green. Let's go.
All right.
Recycled glass surfaces are very durable and easy to clean and because of their non-pore surface are resistant to stains and bacteria. Installing faucet aerators could help you save almost 8,000 gallons of water per year. Compact fluorescent lights don't generate as much heat, so fans and air-conditioners can be used less frequently or at lower levels. Want to find out exactly how the Zimmerman's kitchen facelift will lower their utility cost and maybe yours? Look at the next episode of green done right.
News, got naturals bath tissue, towels, napkins and flushable moist wipes, take a green step without sacrificing quality.

I just bought my second core set today and I'm facing a dilemma...
Should I make a deck or two to play solo or with my girlfriend? or should I try and maintain 4 decks to play with my other friends (a multiplayer game craving group, I might add)?
With the number of cards in 2 core set, 4 single-sphere legal decks are impossible to make, so dual decks seem to be the way to go.
Which brings me to my question: if I plan on making 4 decks, and if I plan on changing the initial teams, which combinations of characters would work better?
As anyone tried building 4 decks using alternative teams?
Building 4 dual decks out of 2 core set might be pushing it, but I wonder, in theory, what would be the best combinations.
Any thoughts?

The foundations of empathy are found in the chicken
9 March 2011
A study funded by the BBSRC Animal Welfare Initiative has gained new insight into the minds of domestic hens, discovering, for the first time, that the birds show a clear physiological and behavioural response when their chicks are mildly distressed.
The research by academics at the University of Bristol's Animal Welfare and Behaviour research group is published online in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The study is the first to demonstrate that birds possess one of the important attributes that underpins empathy, and the first study to use both behavioural and physiological methods to measure these traits in birds.
Research like this is vital to ensure that we can maintain and improve animal welfare whilst producing more meat and eggs in order to meet the challenges of global food security.
Using a well-controlled experimental procedure and making use of technical advances in non-invasive physiological monitoring, the researchers found that domestic hens show a clear physiological and behavioural response to their chicks' distress.
During one of the controlled procedures, when the chicks were exposed to a puff of air, the hens' heart rate increased and eye temperature decreased. The hens also changed their behaviour, and reacted with increased alertness, decreased preening and increased vocalisations directed to their chicks.
Some of these responses have previously been used as indicators of an emotional response in animals. In domestic chickens, time spent standing alert is associated with higher levels of fear. Previous research carried out by the same group has shown that hens also selectively avoid surroundings associated with high levels of standing and low levels of preening.
Jo Edgar, PhD student in the School of Veterinary Sciences, said: "The extent to which animals are affected by the distress of others is of high relevance to the welfare of farm and laboratory animals.
"Our research has addressed the fundamental question of whether birds have the capacity to show empathic responses.
"We found that adult female birds possess at least one of the essential underpinning attributes of 'empathy'; the ability to be affected by, and share, the emotional state of another."
The researchers used chickens as a model species because, under commercial conditions, chickens will regularly encounter other chickens showing signs of pain or distress due to routine husbandry practices or because of the high levels of conditions such as bone fractures or leg disorders.

Alpine Geraniums
Alpine balcony geraniums are the Ultimate Geranium. Popular in Europe, these geraniums cascade heavily from window boxes and balconies. The Alpines' single blossoms create masses of color. They can survive the heat of summer when other plants often fail. These amazingly versatile geraniums also do well in partial shade and cooler temperatures.
Alpines are featured in a variety of colors and three growth habits: the long and trailing "Balcon," the full "Midcascade" and the compact "Mini". When planting any of them, use four or five Alpine plants for a 10" hanging basket and one plant every 6" in window boxes.
Balcon Series
Balcons grow long and trailing (up to four feet in a season), so they need occasional pinching – one time when a stem reaches 10"-12" and throughout the season if any stems grow extra long. Visit our Geranium Care page for information on "pinching."
Balcon Royale - Intense scarlet
Mixed Balcons - Mix of scarlet, pink and lavender in one pack, each color identified.
Midcascade Series
With lighter green stems and ever-so-slightly variegated leaves, these Alpines are shorter-trailing (up to three feet.)
Their many branches give the "Mids" a nice, full shape.
Acapulco - Bright pink with white center
Mid Casade Mix - Mix of red, pink and lavender in one pack, each color identified.
Minicascade Series
The "Minis" are more compact than the "Mids."
They create a low, branchy mound of color, trail moderately (to two feet) and are extremely prolific bloomers.
Mini Lavender - Vivid lavender
Mini Mix - Mix of red, pink and lavender in one pack, each color identified.

For more information, call 313.833.6954.
September 6–December 31, 2006
Dürer, Rembrandt, Picasso – these three names resonate like a mantra in the history of Western printmaking. Each artist cultivated an international reputation during his own lifetime and each represents the pinnacle of achievement within the mediums up to his era, Dürer in the early 16th century, Rembrandt in the mid-17th and Picasso in the 20th century. Arguably, in their creativity and technical skill, each attained a stature few have equaled and all set standards to which five centuries of subsequent printmakers have aspired. This exhibition will feature the work of all three masters, focusing on the innovations each introduced and will also present many significant aspects of the various media from wood and linoleum cuts, engraving, etching, aquatint, drypoint and lithography.
September 24, 2006–January 7, 2007
Throughout her career Annie Leibovitz, one of American's most celebrated photographers, has traveled through the U.S. immortalizing figures from American root music—blues, gospel, jazz, rock and country. In this exhibition, Leibovitz focuses on the legends of root music, as well as younger artists who have been influenced by them. Her subjects include B.B. King, the late Johnny Cash and June Carter, Willie Nelson, Pete Seeger, Etta James and Dolly Parton; popular music legends including Beck and Bruce Springsteen; as well as Detroit celebrities Eminem, Aretha Franklin, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith and The White Stripes. The exhibition showcases 70 portraits of recent work and classic images from the late 1970s and 1980s that are central to the theme of music, a subject fundamental to Leibovitz's long and celebrated career. Annie Leibovitz: American Music was organized by the Experience Music Project (EMP) in Seattle. For ticket information, call the DIA Box Office at 313.833.4005.

Can the Philanthropist use their alien power only once, giving away one card, or can you continue to give away cards in one encounter?
Posted 30 December 2010 - 03:51 PM
Posted 30 December 2010 - 06:26 PM
Just one. (Most effects work this way, but there are a few exceptions which I'll list below.)
From the very beginning, Cosmic Encounter has never been real precise about explicitly stating whether "one" means "once per encounter" or "once per use of this effect", so you have to let context be your guide. In this case, if the power could be re-used repeatedly then there wouldn't have been any point in saying "one" in the first place ... in other words, if the intention was multiple cards it would have said something like "give away one or more cards" or "give away cards one at a time". Sometimes it's helpful to work it backwards ("if they meant A, would they have written it this way? what if they meant B?") to infer the intent.
As a general rule, if "one" is used in the context of a specific event that could occur more than once per encounter, then you can do that "one" thing more than once per encounter (each time the event arises). But these are rare; most of the time, "one" is used in the context of something that cannot occur more than once per encounter, or is linked to a particular Phase or an element of a phase, such as inviting allies, forming alliances, revealing cards, winning, losing, dealing, etc.
So most things (the overwhelming majority) that say "do one x" are once per encounter. I could only find a few exceptions:
- Fury places "one" token on her sheet every time she loses one or more ships. If she loses ships for three different reasons during an encounter, that's three tokens.
- Healer can heal multiple players per encounter (or even the same player multiple times), drawing "one" card each time.
- Remora gets "one" ship or card every time somebody else gets ship(s) or card(s), respectively.
- If three destiny cards are flipped in a row, Shadow executes three ships.
- There are a very few flares (such as Wild Zombie) that could in theory let you do "one" of something more than once per encounter, but only if you were using a house rule of totally unrestricted flares (allowing re-use of the same flare in the same encounter).
These few exceptions all clearly place the "one" thing in the context of some particular repeatable event. Pretty much everything else is in the context of a particular Phase or a once-per-encounter occurrence. The Philanthropist (to return to your specific question) operates in the Alliance phase "after alliances are formed", a timing window that occurs only once per encounter.
Posted 31 December 2010 - 01:39 AM
Always seemed pretty clear to me. Says you can "give one card," not as many as possible. Remora, Healer, etc. make it clear their powers activate per event. Philanthropist doesn't, so you could think of the triggering event as the encounter phase it activates in.

The Sneakers Worn for the 10 Best NBA Buzzer Beaters This Season
This has been a great NBA season, one of the best in a long time. After last year's lockout, Derrick Rose's injury, and Miami's (yawn) blowout of Oklahoma City in the finals, to name a few of the things contributing to last year's fun dip, it was high time for the NBA to raise its value. And raise it it did. Entertainment soared in 2012-13, due in part to a pretty even spread throughout the league of young, mid-career, and veteran talent, but also because the games have just seemed more exciting. Why so? Two words: buzzer beaters. Game winning buzzer beaters. There's been enough clutch shots that it's hard to keep track of them all. While some of these shots were from the league's best, and some were against the league's best, the sum of them all is astounding. So what was everyone wearing as time expired? These are The Sneakers Worn for the 10 Best Buzzer Beaters This Season in the NBA.
