Innovative research on therapy for tuberous sclerosis has won Cardiff University's Dr Mark Davies the Welsh Livery Guild's Merit Award for 2009.
The Guild promotes education, science and fine arts in Wales and its awards are for excellence and innovation by individuals in these fields. Dr Davies, of the University's Institute of Medical Genetics, received his award at a Cardiff City Hall dinner on Saturday.
Tuberous sclerosis is an inherited disorder which leads to the development of tumours in many organs including the kidneys. In the 1990s, the Institute of Medical Genetics was first to identify the TSC genes that cause the condition.
Dr Davies' work was undertaken during his PhD Clinical Research Fellowship with the Wales Gene Park, which is funded by the Welsh Assembly Government at Cardiff University to translate genetic knowledge into better healthcare. He tested whether the drug rapamycin - originally isolated from bacteria in a soil sample from the Easter Islands - might be able to compensate when the TSC genes are not functioning properly. The experimental treatment led to a reduction in the size of kidney tumours in all 16 patients in Mark's trial. This success generated great interest from the medical community and the commercial pharmaceutical sector and led to the start of a large scale international clinical trial.
The Livery Guild selected Dr Davies for his work in advancing the understanding of inherited disease. The Merit Award citation states: "His burgeoning national and international reputation in his field bring considerable credit to Cardiff University and to Wales."
Professor Julian Sampson, Head of Department at the Institute of Medical Genetics said: "The recognition of Mark's work is very well deserved. Understanding the genetic basis of inherited disease is increasingly providing opportunities to develop novel treatments and our team has taken up this exciting challenge."
The award is the latest in a series for the Institute, which was awarded a Queen's Anniversary Prize for higher education in 2007. This is also the second year running that the Livery Guild's Merit Award has gone to a Cardiff University academic, after Professor Karen Holford of the School of Engineering won in 2008.
Cardiff University
Cardiff University is recognised in independent government assessments as one of Britain's leading teaching and research universities and is a member of the Russell Group of the UK's most research intensive universities. Among its academic staff are two Nobel Laureates, including the winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize for Medicine, Professor Sir Martin Evans. Founded by Royal Charter in 1883, today the University combines impressive modern facilities and a dynamic approach to teaching and research. The University's breadth of expertise in research and research-led teaching encompasses: the humanities; the natural, physical, health, life and social sciences; engineering and technology; preparation for a wide range of professions; and a longstanding commitment to lifelong learning.

CSC grants eligibility to government officials
-A A +AThursday, March 1, 2012
GOVERNMENT officials will now have their deserving awards in the name of public service.
The Civil Service Commission (CSC) will soon grant eligibility to government officials of the country through Republic Act (RA) 10156.
The RA 10156 is an act conferring civil service eligibility to members of the Provincial Board, City Council, and Municipal Council.
Eligibility of a career service professional will be given to a government official who served for nine years in office provided he must be a bachelor's degree holder.
Sub–professional eligibility, on the other hand, will be granted to government officials who served for six years with at least 72 units earned.
La Trinidad Councilor Jim Botiwey said the act would provide a chance for the officials who wanted to remain in service under the government even after their terms. He further said the act is an advantage to government officials because they deserve the eligibility.
Botiwey added in serving the government, they learned a lot through community immersion. He said he learned much on their functions as government officials. He also gained knowledge on the different government procedures.
The professional eligibility is a benefit to those who served longer in the government. "The longer you work, the deeper your knowledge," Botiwey said.
He said the act is still on the process of acquiring its implementing rules and regulation on how to implement the RA 10156.
The act was approved by the President Benigno Aquino III last December 20, 2011.

Thirty Days of Truth, Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.
All the things I love about myself have one thing in common, they are all qualities I share with my Grandma. Even the things I would never have thought to love about myself, I love anyway because someone's told me I get it from her. My sense of style and obsession with jewelry, my giggle, my beauty marks, my skin and my cheek bones. My stubbornness, my compassion, and the way I long for the open road and fresh Rocky Mountain air.
How could I not love qualities within myself that reflect those of a person who meant so much to me? I'd like to think that she can never truly be gone from my life if she's ingrained into the person that I am.

Harris, Geo-Broadcast Solutions Plan First Commercial Test of ZoneCasting
Melbourne, FL, and Denver - Sep 12, 2012 - Harris and Geo-Broadcast Solutions (GBS) have broken ground on the first commercial test for ZoneCasting - technology that enables targeted, over-the-air radio content transmission to local neighborhoods. The initiative unleashes new revenue opportunities for broadcasters, advertising agencies and local businesses by using the "available everywhere" technology of broadcast radio to bring a neighborhood-focus to local airwaves. This essentially builds closer, community-driven engagement between radio stations and their listeners; as well as local businesses and consumers.
Peter Handy, CEO of Geo-Broadcast Systems, estimates the return on investment for broadcasters at three years or less - while noting that ad agencies will benefit by bringing new localized advertising opportunities to their clients. "Radio has always been a target medium for advertisers," said Handy. "ZoneCasting signals an opportunity to be even more hyper-focused. It dives from the greater community to specific neighborhoods, leveraging the localism that makes radio appealing."
Harris is the exclusive transmission supplier for GBS ZoneCasting Systems, providing the technology and design/installation expertise for all ZoneCasting deployments. WRMF-FM, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, will launch the first commercial test system in the fall of 2012 with an eye toward official deployment.
"ZoneCasting leverages proven technology to help radio broadcasters transform and monetize their business," said Richard Redmond, vice president of product management and strategy, transmission systems, Harris Broadcast Communications. "This is not about investing in a new studio or transmitter with the hopes it will improve ratings or revenue. This is about helping broadcasters become more competitive against a fractured marketplace."
The message that ZoneCasting is about more than features and functionality of a box or software program is one that resonates with Dean Goodman, CEO of Palm Beach Broadcasting, which owns and operates WRMF. "There are local businesses and organizations that have not used radio advertising because it has traditionally been focused across an entire market," said Goodman. "The localization of advertising to specific neighborhoods makes radio advertising both sensible and affordable for these companies, while delivering renewed attention from consumers. It is easy to visualize how the advertising success of one neighborhood business would result in competing businesses quickly coming on board."
The Harris system deploys multiple corresponding Flexiva low-power FM transmitters within the GBS ZoneCasting network architecture, adding Intraplex SynchroCast simulcasting equipment for synchronous delivery of localized content across defined zones. The architecture features proven technology at its core that is used globally today - and ensures that the ZoneCasting platform is viable for analog FM and digital radio standards worldwide.
"We have submitted tests that prove the validity of the ZoneCasting concept, and have now joined hands with one of the largest and most reliable broadcast equipment suppliers in the world," said Handy. "We think this will be beneficial for the radio broadcast industry - and as beneficial for listeners as the local advertisers and stations."

have you tried silverhill seeds in south africa---they have an extensive list of various iridaceae on their mail-order list??? just for curiosity sake, are you growing most of your present collection in the ground or in pots----a surprising number of south african iradaceae are quite hardy in the ground in mild parts of oregon. |
I am growing at least 1 specie of every genus in Iridaceae offered by Silverhill Seeds. The genra I am looking for have not been offered by Silverhill in at least 2 yrs. |

Chris Baker quits as KTLK-FM morning host
Controversial KTLK-FM morning host Chris Baker quit Wednesday, and will be replaced, at least temporarily, by former KSTP-AM host Bob Davis.
Clear Channel operations manager Gregg Swedberg confirms that "Chris Baker is not with us anymore."
Baker has been scrubbed from the conservative talk station's website, which now states, "Join us on Thursday, February 3rd for the first installment of News Talk Mornings! Bob Davis will sit behind the mic, ready to talk about the news of the day."
Davis got the boot at AM1500 in April 2009. Swedberg notes that there is no permanent replacement as of yet.
As for Baker, this is the second gig he's forsaken in the last few months. For a time, he was on KTLK and Houston's KPRC-AM, but the latter job apparently ended in November. Baker originally came to KTLK from KPRC. He left that job unexpectedly.
Baker's shock-jockery included questioning whether gays and women should vote, labeling Barack Obama "Obammy" and a "little bitch" and calling a transgender man a "mutilated lesbian." Such gibes earned him a spot on ex-MSNBC host Keith Olbermann's "Worst Persons in the World."
The show recently added a Friday morning hour with defeated GOP gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer. Emmer's appearances are expected to continue.
Comments (10)
Too bad, I found Chris to (mostly) be entertaining. I was a casual listener only and am rarely offended by what host throw out there. I just hope we don't end up with a non-local morning drive on KTLK.
I listened to him for the first time this morning. Sorry everybody. Or, you're welcome, everybody else.
It must be the flu that I've been fighting for a week.
Chris Baker was always entertaining and interesting. He actually motivated me to switch from the KQ Morning Show several years ago, and I've listened ever since. While sometimes abrasive and noxious (no different than Big Ron Rosenbaum), he said it like it was, even if his opinions rubbed others the wrong way. I will miss him greatly, and wish him well. Hopefully they will find an interesting, engaging replacement soon (no, not Bob Davis)...how about Tom Emmer?
To bad. Without a job, no healthcare. Oh, well. I wish Chris the best of luck.
A morning show guy that said shocking things? What will they think of next? Maybe a car that runs on gasoline.
Chris baker is gone, oh well, his show was kind of lame. I am excited to be able to listen to Bob Davis again. Hopefully he gets the permanent gig.
I've been waiting for this day!!! More than glad to see Chris Baker go. I stopped listening to KTLK in the mornings since they fired Dan Conri and replaced him with the morning buffoon.
I hope Bob Davis gets the gig (if he wants it). He is far better informed and can be entertaining without trying to be a 'shock jock'
He was okay, he was taking on a comedy stint and all kinds of things to make his program work, sports of which he was good at. Wish him well, he seemed like a nice guy.
I can not believe KTLK let Chris Baker go. To those other people who said "good riddens", well you probably didnt understand the humor on Seinfeld either, imbeciles! I guess its back to KQRS and the gang because KTLK has nothing left for entertainment on the way in to work! PS- Please ask Bob Davis to never laugh on live radio again, way too anoying!

Black Ops 2 is official according to pre-order cards
By Khalil Daou on April 28, 2012
Has a release date of November 13.
Looks to be Activision's next Call of Duty installment is indeed another Black Ops title. This time, adding to a barrage of other leaks, a fan has taken a picture of a Target pre-order card and e-mailed it to IGN.
While the card essentially confirms that Black Ops 2 is the new entry in the unstoppable Activision juggernaut, it does have a big fat November 13 release date listing plastered in the middle – a launch date that is very typical to a Call of Duty title.
Whatever it maybe, Activision will formally reveal the next Call of Duty on Tuesday, May 1.

I'm waiting for my telephone interview, Beth Sufian is helping me. I'm sure she'll explain it but I thought I'd ask. Thanks! Kristen when you qualify for medicare through SSDI, you'll receive 2 parts: part a (for inpatient stuff) and part b (typically covers drugs, etc, dispensed at home). some people purchase a part d (supplemental) plan for additional prescription drug coverage. each state has different part d plans available for purchase, and what they cover varies. typically with medicare copayments are low or even non-existent, although there is a 20% patient liability for certain services. you should contact CF legal hotline for more info if you're questioning what should and should not be covered under your medicare policy. Its calculated based on how long you worked and earned credits. For example, I get more with my SSDI than my mom's boyfriend does because I worked on the books since I was 18 whereas he didn't work for a long period of time. | ||

If you threw that statement away and you already applied for SSDI, you will not get another one. I don't know what time of year they come, I've been on SSDI for 9 years. It does matter how much you've worked in the past 5 years (I think?). And how much you were paid during those years. It's some formula with number of years worked equals some number of credits, which qualifies you, but then your amount is based on your salary. (how much you paid in.) It's nowhere near your monthly salary, but I think you get the idea. | ||

By Emily Majewski. Emily and her husband Brandon Majewski live in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with their daughter Rhus and dogs Bidwell and Porter.
No matter how far you are from home, you are only as far as your nose. For example, the other day I stepped outside of my apartment (4,000 miles from Buffalo) and caught a whiff of a gardenia bush. Suddenly Mexico faded away and the gardenia became hyacinths and lilies. At Easter. In OLV. The next flashback was a butter lamb. Now how a gardenia can transmorgrify into a butter lamb, only an ex-pat Buffalonian can understand.
Occasionally an especially quiet Sunday comes along. In that moment of hazy stillness suddenly it is a Sunday, the Bills are playing, maybe in September. My housebound neighbors stop grilling asada and are glued to the TV with an anticipatory hush.
Yes, leaving Buffalo is an oxymoron. It's like a homemade tattoo on your heart. It's a habit you can't quite kick. And it's the subtle things that take you back: nachos are served and suddenly you are at Founding Fathers. You hear a distant ice cream truck and there it goes, barreling down West Ave. You smell a backyard fire and its October again resplendent with maples – never mind the fact that it is 98 degrees and your best friend is a sweat rag.
Of course, there are sensations that I can't recreate here. For example, I always enjoyed walking down Main towards the lake. There's this subtle unconscious shift that happens, when the pigeons give way to sea gulls and the buildings salute the vast void of water ahead. The sacred energy of the Indian burial ground that is Johnson Park. I miss things like lilacs (not to be grown in my tropical location) and especially pilfering lilac bouquets for Mothers Day (guilty). There are also no substitutes for family.
My husband and I left Buffalo to move to a climate where we could grow food for a minimum amount of energy. In our odyssey to become "self sufficient" we pay a price for the endless summer. We left our snow shovels behind only to realize that come monsoon season, everyone shovels ditches out of the puddles in front of their house. The silty roads get plowed (Buffalo style) as otherwise the street becomes a lagoon, complete with swarming dragonflies. Sand is piled along the curbs much like drifts of snow. And everyone is complaining about the weather: 'Much too hot' (in Spanish). So some things stay the same, only, different.
A lot has been written about how Buffalo meets all the requirements of Camelot, i.e. An All American City. Whether it's the people, festivals, sports, architecture, food, seasons, urban renewal or urban agriculture, it's all been said elsewhere. But as a Buffalonian far away from home I can vouch for that sensory connection to a city, a connection that transcends the words about how great it is. Buffalo is weird and wonderful and sneaks up on you in ways you can't anticipate until you are shoveling the sand off your doorstep. Then it all comes rushing back.

I was searching for something unique to make a towel hook holder with.. got up in the attic searching thru my misc antique items I have. Found this... It is the bottom part of a mirror frame that was on my G-Grandma's dresser, the top part of the frame was broken off. I painted two coats of a creamy white then just rubbed the edges off. I am more then happy with the way it turned out and the hooks are working out just great. The towels are drying just fine. The wall color is not showing up true in this photo. The walls are a thin coat of venetian plaster in a light gold, then I went back and dry brushed a darker gold on here and there, then scrubbed it in with a towel. I found the hooks at Home Depot, they are or look like brushed stainless. |

Are you guys always carrying around your basketball in a stupid duffel bag and wondering, "Why can't I find a fashionable and far more costly way to carry this basketball? Oh, and I wish it was a lot more inconvenient too." Sure, you have. That's a very common thing to think about when you're getting ready to hoop. And lucky for you, there is a fashionable, expensive and bothersome way to lug your basketball to and from games.
It comes from a leather brand called Fleet Ilya, it's called the "Basketball Cage" and it retails for £400 (basically $620 US). It's the Ball Claw for our generation.
By now, you are probably confused as to why you would need to spend 620 bucks to buckle some leather straps around your ball when you could spend $15 to accomplish the exact same thing. But that's missing the point. If you're spending this money to carry around a basketball, you want people to notice and say, "That's a sick basketball strap, bro," which is something literally no one will say if you buy this.
In fact, if you buy this, I am guessing you'll end up more frustrated that anything. Maybe there is some kind of quick-close mechanism I'm missing, but it seems like this would be a bit complicated to hook up when it's very easy to just throw your ball in whatever bag you carry your shoes in or just put it under your arm like a normal person. Plus, if you get the white one (it comes in tan and black as well), it's going to get filthy and you'll be upset you just wasted $600 on a dirty, completely unnecessary leather web for your basketball, which again, is very easy to carry by itself.
So no thanks, Fleet Ilya. I'm going to hang on to my $620 for now. After all, that suspender and belt combo isn't going to buy itself.

well this is new.
I've been vaping with a replacement battery (new) for a week and just now when I press the button, the light flashes but won't ignite the atomizer.
When i unscrew it from the atty, the light is solid. I'm pretty sure the battery is not dead yet, it should last several more hours.
I put a different ego battery on the same atty and it works fine.
any ideas?

I've been using MREs since the mid 1980s for several purposes, including an emergency kit I have maintained for some number of years. I live in a hurricane and tornado prone area and keep a mixture of MRE's backed up with Mainstay Emergency Ration Bars and Datrex Drinking Water packages sufficient for at least a week to cover any times I may have to shelter in place or evacuate.So far, after more than 11 named hurricanes and numerous tropical storms, Nor'easters and spawned tornadoes, I have been trapped by flooding twice and road damage and tree/power ljne damage twice more and am very happy with all three products during every use. One doesn't realize how much of a morale booster a good meal is when there is little to do and less that is helpful, however the texture, flavor and convenience of an MRE, and a heater pack make keeping a good attitude and making good decisions to protect yourself and those around you from further risk or injury.
Posted on 1/12/14 by Bear
MRE Meals
These are not intended to be consumed in place of daily meals ... these were designed for the military to be used in the field. They are high in calories and carbs and really should be used as emergency rations. If you are very active and burn a ton of calories everyday you could probably get by with consuming these on a daily basis. It should also be noted that these are not designed to be pleasant to look at but are intended to be stored for up to five years when stored properly. The flavor of these meal components are much better today than when they were introduced in the early 1980s. Store them in your refrigerator when possible or in the coolest place possible to keep the flavor and texture as it's best. To date the components find the four number code on the package. The first number represents the year so the number 2 would indicate the year 2002 or 2012. The next three numbers indicate the day of the year the component was packaged. The number 3065 would make the package date March 6, 2013. I love the MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) and always have several on hand as I travel or go back packing for several days. Bottom line is you don't purchase these for their "gourmet" flavor but for there convenience although I think many of these are very flavorful. As the kind folks at Emergency Essentials have stated you can purchase these individually and try them out for yourself. Semper Fi!
{Response from Emergency Essentials - Thanks for the review! MRE's indeed make a great food for high energy activities during emergency situations. We too enjoy using them for hiking, hunting, or even just for an easy lunch at work. Try several flavors out and you are sure to find some favorite flavors that you will be comfortable turning to when you need them.}Posted on 1/7/14 by Parrotheadjoe
try a few first
I wish I had tried a few prior to purchase. I ate some of these yesterday (well past the 30-day return time-frame). The cornbread stuffing was a wet mash of bread and seasoning -- taste was OK, but texture and visual presentation horrible. So too the Mexican style mac and cheese, the sausage patty. The bread was like a dense, moist flavorless cracker - yuck. So many other things Emergency Essentials offers are just great. It didn't dawn on me to try MRE's before buying a month's worth. I'm sure these are nutritious, but they are very unappetizing.
{Response from Emergency Essentials – Thanks for your feedback Paula. We are sorry to hear that you were not pleased with the MRE's you sampled. We do carry MRE's individually so you can sample flavors or purchase a custom supply of meals that you know you will enjoy. Anytime you are not pleased with any item you receive from us, please contact customer service. We want you to be happy with all of the items you purchase. Thanks.}Posted on 12/9/13 by Paula
I'm Amazed
Never tried an MRE before; never wanted to after all the awful things I'd heard about them. Bought a sampling to try for a family prepper camp. We were all blown away. We didn't even heat them up - and couldn't believe how tasty they really were! The crackers are a bit hard and dry, but fine with the pb & j or the cheese. Everything we tasted was yummy; desserts too. Every bit as good as top rated packaged food diets I have tried.

Prep Now.
I am planning on buying these to add to my growing earthquake / zombie kit. I was first introduced to MRE's in the service back in the 80's, and I have to say these things have come a long way.
As stated earlier, these are great to have during those times when you don't want to have a fire, can't heat up water, or don't have time to stop to eat. In my kit, I have a mix of MRE's and Mountain House items to give a variety.
Remember, survival food is about survival and not luxury; yes the food should taste good in order to encourage you to eat - but this isn't going to be gourmet dining.
Having said that though, I like the MRE's. A whole supply readily available like this is a good deal. Prep now - or be sorry later.Posted on 4/30/13 by PatrickM
Great emergency choice
I bought a 1 month supply of MREs to add to my variety of food preps. Great thing about MREs is that there is no prep needed if you don't have time to cook, don't have water, don't have time to filter water, etc. I've eaten a few things and liked them. Warming them up of course is best but I've eaten some of it cold. Some of the breads are better than a coffee shop. Highly recommend.
Posted on 3/24/13 by Mike
Wonderful purchase!
I was so happy with the amount of food and the taste! I haven't heard the best reviews and the flavor of MREs but my 3 little picky eaters loved them. We use them for camping and backpacking as well as emergency storage. Would buy again!
Posted on 2/20/13 by 3lilnutters
pretty good eating!
Large selection of food, each entree seems to have about 6 of them. I tried the tortellini and my husband had spaghetti. For desert he had the chocolate chip cookie and I had the maple muffin top. Certainly not 5 star dining but very good. The muffin was moist and tasted like a pancake more than a muffin. I would like it for breakfast! It came with peanut butter, jelly, applesauce, tortillas, breads (assorted), drink mixes like lemonade and raspberry, cheese spreads, crackers, bread sticks. Lots of food in a reasonable serving size. Would I buy this again? In a heartbeat! BTW it came in 2 large boxes, one weighed 58 lbs. Yes you get enough food!

Holy smoke this is ton of food... well packaged with durable individual storage friendly packets. very happy with these people

We received the MRE package enough for 2 months (4 boxes) and felt that it was packaged very well and it was received in a timely manner. We received "everything" as stated on the website..ok they gave us one too many of the hard candies...shhh don't tell. I believe that it was fairly balanced as far as how many of the low end entrees compared to the high end ones. Sure we received much more fruit then the rice side dishes, I prefer the rice, but there is no complaints here. Is it a good deal...I think so!
Posted on 6/8/12 by V. S
Pleasantly surprised!
Wow! What a great deal! When I opened this I wasn't expecting such a variety in the entrees. We tried two different items (and I have 3 picky eaters) and they were both great!
Posted on 5/1/12 by Donna
Happily surprised!!!
I made this purchase a couple of months ago and really had no intentions of eating until ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. It's an MRE, to me that means only eat unless I have no other choice. Well, my wife and I were too lazy to cook yesterday and decided, what the heck....let's try the MRE's. We popped open a box and grabbed the first three MRE's. What a surprise, this stuff was very good. I kept telling my wife as we warmed it up, "remember, it's emergency food, don't get your hopes up". I myself am more of a picky eater and was truthfully more afraid of trying it than my wife. We warmed up the three entrees (chili w/ beans, BBQ Sauce w/ chicken black beans and potatoes, and the Penne with vegetable sausage crumbles in spicy tomato sauce). My wife was pleasantly surprised, but I was ecstatic. I can actually eat this everyday. I truly expected to eat this stuff as fast as I can to keep it all in. Not the case, will definitely save up and try for the year supply on my next go around. The kids also ate it, but had to be bribed with the chocolate brownie.
Posted on 3/17/12 by Jorge
good stuff
I bought 3 of the one month MRE kits. All food that I tried was good. Food was comparable to something you would order in a restaurant. Fully cooked and you only need to make it warm for more preferable taste. Sure beats eating a can of vegetables when times are tough.

Great Buy Great Food!
I have purchased more than one of these. The quality is excellent and what arrives is exactly the contents in the item's description. Everything I've sampled has tasted great! This is a good way to jump start a larder, add some variety, and have portable meals you can take on the go. I will purchase more. The calorie count for the one's I've purchased has averaged about 1,850 per day. If you need to average 2,200 calories per day, this supply will provide about 25-26 days of food. You'll need to purchase an additional 10,150 calories worth of meals to have a 30-day supply. Having said that, this is still a great buy that is convenient and great tasting!
Posted on 2/18/10 by Scott
Great for Food Storage Program
Arrived promptly and contents was exactly as advertised (except mine was missing 1 piece of candy) :) I inventoried all contents received. The number of entrees, sides, bread, deserts, etc. was exactly as advertised. I made a spreadsheet to log exactly what I had, noting the quantity and calorie count of each. The 1-month kit I received would supply 1,862 calories per day for 30 days. There were only seven breakfast items (2 omelets and 5 sausage patties). The patties are considered an entree. Mine was heavy on chicken and dumplings and 23 of 30 sides were Mexican-style; mostly refried beans. This is not a complaint and yes I would order again. It's a great jumpstart or addition to your larder. It's good to inventory though, so you know exactly how many calories per day you can count on. I've eaten these MREs periodically for a while now, and find the quality and taste to be very good.

Real nice quality
I was expecting some dehydrated ramen type meals, but these are really good, better than I eat normally. I have a basic year supply of grains and this makes an excellent supplemental to the dull grain buckets

Great value
Just what I was looking for...wish I had this when Katrina knocked the power out here. At least I'm ready for the eventual freak Ice storm here. :-)

I started out this knotty pine wall and fireplace renovation project thinking I was going to just paint the wall and paint the fireplace to try to take away the dated 80's look and be done with it simple and fast. Boy, was I wrong!
Here is what it looked like in use with all the clutter...(notice cute kitty taking a nap in the dog's bed) Here is the same thing all naked! Notice the dated brass insert. So I started off painting the knotty pine (tons of work filling all the knots and gaps... got it as smooth as I could). And painting the brass black was a no-brainer. (the insert is semi-permanent so it stays) So now the pure ugliness of the F/P really popped! My plan to paint it white disintegrated. That would just go from brick ugly to white ugly. I could now clearly see that the real problem was the lack of a proper mantel. No paint was going to fix that! THe picture doesn't show it, but the top courses of the fireplace were protruded in a staggered fashion... some sort of brick faux mantel illusion. That always complicated the idea of getting a ready-made wood surround. So I bit the bullet and hired a carpenter and got this: I was afraid it was too wide and overscale for the room, but it is growing on me and I really love it. At this point I wanted a tile surround to cover a vertical settling crack in the brick face and a matching hearth to bring the hearth to be the same width as the mantel "legs". Took forever to find a tile that I liked, but the quotes I got to install it were ridiculous, so I decided to leave it like that. But then recently I remembered my earlier idea of painting the brick. That would at least allow me the opportunity to fill the vertical crack. I was pondering that for awhile trying to picture it. Then I recently got my Ballard catalog in the mail and on Page 16, I saw a beautiful picture of an antique brick wall. I fell in love with it and could picture it on my F/P. So I did some faux magic: I love it, but I hope it doesn't look too formal. I am trying to make the room more fresh and updated - a la Pottery Barn (is there a style name for that look?) But there's still one part left. I still have to paint the hearth to match, but I am stuck. It doesn't seem quite right to have the faux antique bricks on the hearth. Does it? Can I just leave it like it is? paint it black? One of the colors from the faux? light? dark? What do you think? Have I ruined my living room? I suppose some people might like the original BEFORE picture. It does have a warmth to it that I miss a little bit sometimes. |

Are you happy? It is a dramatically different look...but if YOU like it then all is well! I wouldn't paint the hearth. You might impair the function and I think it's fine the way it is. Many people have a brick hearth with a different surround. |
Incredible, wonderful transformation!!! Well done indeed! Yes -- paint the hearth brick to match the other bricks! :) Again -- GREAT job!!! Jan at Rosemary Cottage |
Wow, it really looks awesome. You did not ruin your living room. I painted knotty pine in my house too, it was a real pain, but so worth it. I always thought painting wood was a sin, but would do it again in a heartbeat. How did you paint those bricks? I have a FP in my master bedroom that was covered by paneling for 50 years and the brick is all dingy and gross. I would love to do something similar to give it a clean fresh look. I wouldn't paint the hearth bricks. In the picture it doesn't stick out to me at all, and looks fine. Great transformation! |
I think it looks great and I enjoyed how your pictures showed each step. I think the hearth would look better painted to match but it's okay like it is. |
thanks for the compliments. Re hearth...hmmm... 2 no's, 1 yes, 1 maybe. So far the no's have it! Polly, it wasn't very hard. I first cleaned them up a bit...stiff brush and heavy duty lint roller (sticky tape kind). THen I primed them completely with Benjamin Moore All-Purpose primer. Then I painted with a base coat of some leftover white ceiling paint (because it is flat). I added some cream to it just to see what that looked like overall and to act as a base color for the faux. Then I painted in some grout lines. Got this: Then I didn't like that as a base color, so I tried something more gold-ish, but it ended up too orangey: But it didn't matter. The best thing about doing faux treatments is that there is no way to make a mistake. Because you just add layers and layers, anything goes. And for a small area, it was no biggie to keep having do-overs. The more layers, the better. At this point I was mixing translucent glaze and ceiling paint and colored acrylic craft colors and a little water to just invent my own 5 "antique" colors based on the inspiration photo from the catalog. Brick by brick I just dabbed and re-dabbed and wiped off and wiped on over and over. I used rags and sea sponges and brushes. Doesn't matter too much. I just added lots of layers to each brick until it looked decent, trying to create a consistent randomness! I kept trying to clean off the grout lines as I went, but they did get a bit blurred as I proceeded. I may go back and touch them up a little to define them a little more. When I was all done, I brushed on a non-yellowing matte poly over it all, not so much for a sheen, but just to add a little more protection and allow cleaning in the future. |
I think it looks great! |

I think it looks 100% better and yes paint the hearth to match. The surround looks great and you picked wonderful colors for your project. GREAT JOB!!! |
definitely paint your hearth to match, tho you might want to consider more of a matte finish on the hearth?? |
Beautiful! Yes paint the hearth; it looks dated compared to the rest of it and competes with the rest of it. |
It looks wonderful! You did an awesome job! |
Just wanted to say WOW. Another vote for leaving the hearth as is. Great transformation. |
Yes to painting the hearth! It looks FANTASTIC! Good job! |
One consideration for NOT painting the hearth is possible nicks and dings from putting stuff on it over time. Touching up anything faux is typically very tricky. Maybe it wouldn't be so terrible in this case with each brick unique or semi-unique, but touchups are a consideration. Interestingly, no one has voted for painting it a solid neutral color. That would minimize the touch-up issue. So it seems to be an all or nothing choice. and about a 50/50 "public" split on paint or not-paint. Yikes.... I guess I'll live with it for a bit and see if it blends in over time or annoys me to heck. |
Its a great transformation. I would match the hearth though or at least paint a solid coordinating color. Right now the hearth is the boldest color so it is drawing my eye. |

Fabulous and I love the step by step pictures. I would paint the hearth. Any plans to change the flooring in the room? If you don't like the idea of the paint could you remove the brick and put down a tile that is close in color to the carpet, or maybe tile over the brick, that might not be as expensive if you need to hire someone to do it? I think black would nice for the paint or the tiles if you didn't want to match the carpet and might be making changes to the flooring in the future. A piece of soapstone or a granite remnant cut to fit over the brick might look nice too, although I have no idea how expensive that would be. :) Thanks for sharing! |
Hi! Just wanted to add my vote for painting the hearth and tell you that I think the fireplace looks beautiful! Well done! I am about to re-do my fireplace as well, and I was thinking of a white mantel with a creamy tile facing, similar in color to yours, as well as painting my brass insert black. Your pictures have made me positive that that's what I want to do! Thank you! Oh, and any tips for painting the insert? What kind of paint did you use? Thanks again for the ideas! kate |
- Posted by spiceislands (My Page) on Thu, Jul 8, 10 at 13:33
Wow, wow, wow! What a beautiful transformation. No question, IMHO, that the hearth needs to be fauxed or painted a slightly deeper color. Really great job...congratulations and thanks for sharing! |
- Posted by pamghatten (My Page) on Thu, Jul 8, 10 at 13:36
Great job, looks totally updated! I would also paint the hearth ... possibly just the base color so the tones are similar at least. |
what a great job, so much fun to see this before and after; I would wait till everything is in place to paint the hearth, right now I would say don't ; show us when the room is finished, is there going to be a something on each side ? |
you all are so encouraging! Thanks so much. I appreciate it. I think I have decided to go ahead and paint the hearth to match. I can always paint it more solid if it looks too busy. I should do it now while I still have all the leftover 5 custom created colors in covered plastic cups. The floor will eventually be hardwood, but for now the carpet stays, unfortunately. The rest of the furniture in the room is too embarrassing to show now. Its "in transition". It still is in the 80's. Try to visualize 2 caramel colored leather chairs. That's my future vision! tiling just the hearth would still be complicated. It needs backerboard. The people who came out to quote on the job said the brick is good for an underlayment , but the two end pieces to get the width right would get a little tricker to keep it all perfectly level and strong. do-able, but not by me. Although, if I only cover the brick that is there and leave the width exactly the same and if the width is an even multiple of inches so I don't need to cut tile, perhaps I could do it myself....Or get a slab cut to a template I provide... hmmmm... something to think about. I would have to find out about how the edge works with the carpet edge. I didn't use any special paint for the brass insert. I primed it with my favorite primer mentioned above. Then I had some BM Aura (I'm a big Aura fan) Black eggshell leftover from another project. I don't use the FP for burning wood myself, so I don't know if heat resistant paint would have been better. Probably. They have such paint for outdoor grilles. Kate, I posted a bunch of pictures of some tiles I was considering and that I even photo-shopped onto the fireplace photo to help visualize. If you want to take a peek, they are here starting at Picture #11: My Fireplace Update album |
Wow beautiful!!!!!! |
I love it. You are amazing. I wish I had that talent and creativity. Now I need your help. How did you paint the old brass Thanks, |
When we were putting our house on the market we painted our fireplace (painted the entire house). The fireplace had dark wood paneling above it. We did not paint the brick, but tried to cleaned it. The mantel was the same ugly wood and we painted that. Changed the whole look of the room! Jane |
Fabulous transformation... I vote yes, paint the hearth bricks~~ |
Boxerpups: see the post before yours re brass painting Jane: Great job! Isn't it amazing how the wood accent was such a feature back in the day and such a distraction now?!?! Your picture is not close-up enough to see if your painted panelling shows lines of the grooves. Mine does, but it doesn't bother me at all because the improvement was so huge. My wood wall wasn't actually panelling which is typically more stable. Mine was wood planks that were not even and had a slight warping in them. I started painting the hearth bricks last night. Got the priming and a base coat done. Hope to get to the decorative fun part today. |
Silly me . thanks so much. |

Okay, all done! I have no idea why I hesitated on doing the hearth. I think it looks fine. It's off a speck in tone. It was a little challenging getting it to match the top part. Should have done it all once in the same session. The bricks were different texture so it went on differently and looks a bit different, but it blends fine in the room. I'm very pleased with the whole thing. Now onto the bathroom... I uploaded some rather sad whole-room pics on the website too. They are at the end of the album. |

Love the transformation! I am clipping your post. I have a brick small covered area before the entrance to my house. My house is 50 yrs old, so the bricks look really aged. I am so curious to experiment with it the way you have done... clean it, prime?, paint an exterior base coat, paint grout lines, and then faux with various exterior colors in similar tones like what you used. |
Looks fabulous! |
- Posted by paintergirl94 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 10, 10 at 7:07
I've been doing decorative/faux painting for more than 20 years and just had to chime in here to say you did a great job!! I was also going to vote "yes" to paint the hearth...looks beautiful, too. |
I didn't realize that you don't burn wood in your fp. In that case...painting the hearth wouldn't impair function. I'm glad you are pleased with it! You did a wonderful job. |
Is it a wood burning fireplace but you just don't use it? I think it looks great and I can't tell the hearth is different then the other brick. |
Lovely!!! A great job all around! Well done (again! LOL!!) Jan at Rosemary Cottage |

Saw this blog post on something similar (faux painting brick), and thought I would add it to this thread. Hope it is useful! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pretty Handy Girl's blog post about faux painting brick
THanks for posting that. I would be curious to see those bricks in person to see if they really look real. Its so ironic that I wanted to get away from the "real" thing. However, since I have done mine, I decided I want to darken them up a bit. I think the light look is too formal. I also put a "matte" sealer on mine for protection, but it left a sheen that I do not like. So I will be tweaking mine again. Will post a final final update. |

Other Medicine Terms
Rhymes with ANEURYSM
noun (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of ANEURYSM
Variants of ANEURYSM
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Blood-filled protrusion in the wall of a blood vessel (usually an artery, and particularly the aorta). Disease or injury weakens the wall so that normal blood pressure makes it balloon out. Typically, the two inner layers rupture and the outer layer bulges. In a false aneurysm, all three layers rupture and surrounding tissues hold the blood in place. Symptoms vary with size and location. Aneurysms tend to enlarge over time, and blood-vessel walls weaken with age. Many aneurysms eventually burst, causing serious, even massive, internal bleeding; aortic aneurysm rupture causes severe pain and immediate collapse. Rupture of an aneurysm in the brain is a major cause of strokes. Treatment can consist of simply tying off a small vessel; more serious aneurysms require surgery to replace the diseased section of artery with a plastic graft.
